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 not feeling well since yesterday. I've been having a headache, feeling dizzy, experiencing body pains, and I'm just really weak overall. I already took Dolo 650, but it didn't help. What do you think I should do?

Given the persistence of your symptoms, including headache, dizziness, body pains, and weakness, despite taking Dolo 650, it's essential to consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like viral infections, sinusitis, or migraines; in the meantime, stay hydrated, rest, and consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen,
