I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.

I've been hearing a lot about using HCQ 200 MG as a way to boost immunity against Covid. I'm wondering if it's safe to take it twice a week for that purpose. Could this really help, and are there any risks I should be aware of? I'm curious because I've seen mixed opinions online and want to make sure it's a good idea before considering it.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not recommended for use as a preventive measure against Covid-19. It is important to follow guidelines from health authorities and consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate preventive measures.

I'm thinking about starting zincovit syrup since I've heard it might help with my weight gain and improve my overall health from the inside. Is it safe to take without a doctor's prescription? Can you share if it could actually help with fitness and if there are any risks involved with taking it on my own?

Zincovit syrup is a multivitamin and multimineral supplement that can help improve overall health and well-being. However, it is important to note that zincovit syrup is not specifically designed for weight gain. If you are looking to gain weight, it is recommended to focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods. If you are still interested in taking a supplement to support your overall health, you can consider taking zincovit syrup as per the recommended dosage on the packaging.
