I'm really worried about my husband. He's dealing with chicken pox right now and besides the rash, he's got a really bad headache and fever. It's making me anxious. Is this normal with chicken pox, or should we be more concerned about these symptoms? What should we do to help him feel better?

I'm a bit confused about the tablets I have at home. The doctor recommended I take D Rise 60k, but I found some Uprise D3 60k here. Are these the same thing, and is it okay if I take the Uprise D3 instead of buying new ones?

Yes both are same you can take either

I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?

LDH is moderately elevated
