I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

View allI took Tesco Recovery Powder for an upset stomach but forgot it has paracetamol in it. Earlier I had a cocodamol tablet for post-surgery pain about 2-3 hours before. That's 500mg paracetamol around 7:45pm and then 1000mg at 10:15pm. I didn't go over the daily limit but could this combo cause any harm?

I've been keeping track of my symptoms since I caught covid. Initially, I had a high fever of around 102 for the first three days, but now it's settled to about 99 over the last 48 hours. My Spo2 levels are at 99, and I have a bit of a cough, though it's not too bad. Since today marks my 7th day, I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to start taking Medrol. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Hydration and rest: Keep yourself hydrated and rest adequately to help your immune system fight the virus. Symptom management: Continue with medications like paracetamol for fever or any prescribed cough syrups or other symptom relievers. Follow-up: Regularly monitor your SpO2 levels (especially if symptoms worsen), and if you're unsure about needing steroids, contact your doctor.

I've had a fever for five days now, and while my throat pain and cold have finally eased up, the phlegm remains. My fever just won't go down, though there's no body pain or stomach ache. The doctor gave me zocef, but I'm wondering if that's enough or if there's something more I should be doing. What do you think?
