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.

So, I caught this bad cold and sore throat a few days ago after traveling, probably because of the weather change. I seem to always get hit with a cold when the weather shifts. I started taking Joshanda Hamdards a couple of times a day since it's helped me in the past. But my cough wasn't getting better, so I switched to Ambrolite D and cetzip cetrizine. While the cough improved, the throat pain didn't, so I swapped Cetzip for Montek LC, which I've used before and heard is better. Now Im 3 days into these meds, with 2 days on Cetzip and 1 on Montek LC, Ambrolite D for a day, and Joshanda for about 2 days. My coughs better, but my throat pain's still there and might even be a bit worse; at least there's no fever. I'm wondering if I should take something else for the throat pain or if I should just keep going with what Im taking and for how long?

It seems like you are managing your symptoms well. To further address the throat pain, you can consider adding an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication like Tab. Diclofenac 50mg twice daily after meals for 3-5 days. Additionally, you can continue with the following medications for a few more days: - Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) once daily in the evening for a total of 5-7 days - Ambrolite D (Ambroxol + Dextromethorphan) syrup 10ml three times a day for a total of 5 days Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants like smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
