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?

My dad suddenly got a fever last night, and it was at 101. I gave him some medicine, but the fever only went down to 100.4 and stayed like that all night. Now it's shot up to 103, and I tried giving him Dolo 650, but it's not helping. Can you help me figure out what's causing the fever?

Do blood test

I'm worried about my friend's health. He's had a fever for two days, and his SGPT level is 69.0 while other test results are normal. The doctor prescribed him Ziprax 100. Do you think he needs to get any additional tests done?

Ziprax 100 might be appropriate for bacterial infections, but if fever persists or worsens, it is important to do further tests to rule out any serious underlying conditions, particularly related to the liver.
