I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

I'm feeling feverish on and off for the last couple of weeks, but every time I take my temperature, it's at 98.6. I've also got a bit of a sore throat, but I'm not having any issues with breathing or a dry cough. A person in my building was diagnosed with coronavirus a few days ago, and it's making me really anxious. I'm not sure what's happening with my health since I've never felt this way before. Any advice?

1. *Self-monitor*: Continue tracking your temperature and overall health. 2. *Mask up*: Wear a mask when leaving your home or interacting with others. 3. *Social distancing*: Maintain a safe distance from others, especially in your building. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Call your doctor*: Schedule a teleconsultation or in-person appointment to discuss your symptoms and concerns. 2. *Disclose exposure*: Inform your doctor about the COVID-19 case in your building. *Anxiety and Stress Management* 1. *Stay informed*: Follow credible sources (e.g., WHO, CDC) for COVID-19 updates. 2. *Practice relaxation techniques*: Engage in activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help manage anxiety. 3. *Connect with others*: Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist for emotional support.
