Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

I'm supposed to take an albendazole 400 mg tablet and Im just not sure how to do it. Am I supposed to swallow it with water, or should I be chewing it like candy? I'm a bit confused and would love some clarity on this.

I'm really concerned about my uncle who's 60 years old. He's been occasionally running a fever for the past month and has lost weight. He was 78 kg, but now has reduced a bit over the last few months. The chest CT scan results and AFB test both came back negative. Can you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

Im dealing with a fever, cold, and sore throat. I'm wondering if I can take Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P for this. Are there any side effects I should worry about?

Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Paracetamol, which is primarily used for abdominal pain and cramps. It is not recommended for treating fever, cold, or sore throat. Meftal P, on the other hand, contains Paracetamol as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. It would be more suitable for your symptoms. Taking Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P may not effectively address your current symptoms and could potentially lead to inadequate treatment. It is important to use the appropriate medication for your specific condition to avoid any complications.
