I'm experiencing a bit of a strange sensationwhenever I cough, I feel a slight pain in my chest bone. It's not with every cough, just sometimes. I don't have any allergies and I don't smoke or drink, so I'm really puzzled about what's causing this. Could you shed some light on it?

I've been dealing with a sore throat and this strange sensation between my chest. It was really intense when it first showed up, but then the next day, I felt completely fine. Now that sore throat is back, and my chest feels tight again. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

Can I still take a bath if I've tested positive for COVID? I've heard that those who have the virus are sometimes told not to bathe. Also, is it okay to wash my hair?

It's generally safe to bathe if you're COVID-positive, as long as you take precautions like avoiding hot water that could strain your body. As for washing your hair, you can do so, but try to avoid overexerting yourself and make sure to rest afterward if you feel weak. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best care.

I'm dealing with a really frustrating dry cough and a bit of a fever, and on top of that, I have some back pain too. I'm wondering if MUCOCID Decongestant tablets might help with all these symptoms. Is it a good idea to use them for what I'm going through, or should I be looking at something else?

Mucocid Decongestant tablets, containing pseudoephedrine, can help relieve dry cough and fever, but for back pain, you may need additional or alternative medication
