I'm really concerned because I heard in the news that having the BCG vaccine might lower the risk of getting the coronavirus. My brother is 28 and he never got any vaccines, including the BCG one, since he was born. Should I be worried about his health? Can you give me some advice on what we should do?

I'm having trouble sleeping before 4 am, so I've been taking melatonin. But now I've come down with a fever and took some paracetamol. Can I still take melatonin after that? Is it safe to use both?

Yes, you can take paracetamol and melatonin together. Paracetamol is safe to take for fever, and melatonin can help with sleep. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each.

My dad's been dealing with a bad cough and cold, and the doctor prescribed Clavam 625mg for him, which I know has Amoxycillin. But I remember his urine test from two years ago showed he's resistant to Amoxycillin. Should I be concerned about whether this medication will actually work for him?

Tab azithromycin 500mg,orally,once daily for 3 days is advised to the patient.
