I'm really concerned about this recent weight loss I've experienced. I was prescribed Phlogam to help with my sinus pain, and I've been taking it along with antibiotics for about a month now. I've lost about 2 kilograms since I started. Could Phlogam be the reason for this weight loss? Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

continue the medicine, no need to consult a doctor
