I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

I'm a bit confused about my health situation. I took my temperature with a thermometer, and it reads 98.7. I'm worried I might have an internal fever, but Im not entirely sure. Could you tell me what the temperature range for an internal fever usually is?

Internal fever, also known as occult fever, can manifest with normal body temperature readings (98.6-99.5F or 37-37.5C) despite the presence of an underlying infection or inflammation; in such cases, other symptoms like fatigue, chills, sweating, or localized pain may be present

I accidentally took Telma 40 mg instead of my usual omeprazole. What should I expect in terms of side effects? I'm a bit worried about any potential reactions.

In place of omeprazole, taking telma 40 mg can lead to potential side effects such as dizziness, headache, cough, diarrhea, and back pain. It is important to monitor for any signs of adverse reactions and consult your healthcare provider if any concerns arise. Keep monitoring your blood pressure, and rush to the hospital if it falls below 9060 mmhg.
