I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I'm a bit worried because Ive been taking vitamin B12 injections and supplements due to a deficiency. Initially, my B12 level was 212, but now its shot up to 2000 in my latest lab test. Is having a vitamin B12 level that high dangerous, and how can I bring it down quickly? Sometimes I feel my body shakingcould that be because my B12 levels are too high?
Having a vitamin B12 level above 2000 is considered high, and it may lead to symptoms such as body shaking. To reduce the high level of vitamin B12 quickly, you should stop taking any B12 supplements or injections and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance. They may recommend adjusting your dosage or frequency of B12 intake. In the meantime, you can focus on a diet that is low in vitamin B12-rich foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a 30-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this weird recurring fever thing for the past couple of years. Basically, every month or two I start feeling feverishsometimes there's a bit of a cold and a headache along with it. The fever isn't super high but it goes away with anti-pyretics after 4 to 6 days. At first, I thought it might be allergies but that doesnt seem to be the case. I've been to quite a few doctors and done tons of tests, but they just treat the fever and tell me there's nothing wrong. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do next. Could it be something thats just not showing up in the usual tests?
