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 feeling really off with sweating and shivering, and it's like I can't control it. Then out of nowhere, I really need to go to the bathroom. My forehead feels like it's under a lot of pressure and I'm having difficulty breathing through my nose because it's all clogged up. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these symptoms?

I've been taking Practin 4mg and now I feel like I'm sleeping all day. Is this going to make me weak or damage my health?

Taking Practic (4mg) might make you feel sleepy and cause you to sleep for extended periods, but short-term use is unlikely to cause significant weakness or health issues. However, prolonged use or disrupted sleep patterns can lead to fatigue, so its important to manage how and when you use it
