Question 1

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a cold and a slight fever. Is it okay to take Calpol 650 for this? Is it effective for these symptoms? Just want to make sure it's the right choice.

Accepted Answer

Calpol 650, which contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It can be taken for cold and slight fever, as it helps alleviate discomfort and reduce fever. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and consult a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Question 2

I'm feeling really confused about my COVID medication schedule. I've been prescribed Ivermectin 12 mg for five nights, Azithromycin 500 for five afternoons, and a few other supplements like Limcee, zinc acetate, calcium with vitamin D3, and a vitamin B complex. My question is about Ivermectin  should I take it before or after food? Also, after taking Azithromycin, I experience some discomfort in my stomach. Would it be okay to take Rantac in the morning before food to help with that?

Accepted Answer

Hello, Ivermectin can be taken after food to reduce any stomach irritation. As for Azithromycin, it can cause stomach discomfort, so taking Rantac before breakfast may help alleviate this. However, its always best to check with your doctor for personalized advice. Take care!

Question 3

I'm going through a bit of a rough patch physically and am seeking advice. Recently, I've been feeling shortness of breath both when I'm walking and even at rest. My throat is dry and hoarse, maybe because of a cold? I'm really not sure. I've been feeling feverish, but my temperature is normal, and I'm experiencing body pains while feeling super sleepy all the time. I'm supposed to get my second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine soon, but with all these symptoms, is it safe to go ahead with the vaccine?

Also, about 10 days ago, I accidentally ran into a closed glass door and got hurt on my forehead and nose. Although I didn't experience any vomiting, since then I've felt feverish and my eyes have been aching. I had trouble sleeping for a few days, so I started using clonazepam about three days ago, but I stopped two days ago, yet I'm still feeling overly sleepy.

I need to get my second Covishield vaccine dose because I have to travel abroad on the 28th. I came to India on November 28th, and my RT-PCR was negative at the time. Could all these symptoms be linked to the incident with the door, or is something else going on that's causing the shortness of breath? Looking for some guidance.
