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.

My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?

regular breathing exercises, drink warm water, check BP and blood sugar regularly

Can I take Becosule and Evion capsules at the same time, or should I wait between taking each one? I'm a bit confused about whether it's okay to take them together or if I need to space them out. Any advice would be appreciated.

You can take Becosule and Evion together without significant concerns, but its always a good idea to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider
