I got my COVID test done yesterday, and thankfully, it came back negative. However, I've been having this dry cough that's been bothering me a bit. I don't have any other symptoms, but I was hoping you could recommend some good medicine for this dry cough. What do you suggest?

I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

yes ,continue all the medications as advised..
