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've been having really bad pain inside my right rib cage for a few days now, and it's been so intense that I can't really sleep at night. I went to see some doctors nearby and got an X-ray of my rib, but they couldn't figure out what's causing it. There's been no injury, no vomiting, and no cough. The pain gets a lot worse whenever I inhale, sneeze, laugh, or even yawn. What could be going on?
To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the rib cage muscles can also help. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with cold and fever for the past four days, and it's been on and off between 99 and 102. I saw a doctor and took antibiotics for three days, which helped me feel better in the mornings. But as the day goes by, my condition seems to worsen. The fever comes back, the coughing gets bad, and I feel extremely weak. I'm also dealing with a sore throat, throat dryness, and nasal congestion. On top of that, I can't seem to digest food properly, and either feel like vomiting or actually do. Can you tell me what I should do about this?
For the blood tests you mentioned, fasting requirements vary: - Vitamin B12: No fasting required - Vitamin D: No fasting required - CBC (Complete Blood Count): No fasting required - Thyroid function tests (TFTs): Typically, an 8-12 hour fasting period is recommended, but it's best to consult with your doctor or the laboratory for specific instructions. For hair fall problems, these tests can help identify underlying deficiencies or hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to hair loss.
