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've been dealing with this high cold for the past five days. The doctor gave me Augmentin, Zerodol P, and Betadine gel, but I'm still struggling with the cold. Sometimes I even get upper back pain and brief chest pain. What should I do?

It seems your cold might be lingering due to congestion or irritation. Keep taking the prescribed medicines, stay hydrated, and use steam inhalation to relieve symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor again to rule out any complications.
