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 started taking Lariago DS and took 2 tablets at 2 PM. Then, around 4:30 PM, I suddenly developed a fever hitting 102. So I took some paracetamol. Can you tell me if it's okay to mix paracetamol with Lariago DS? Really looking forward to your advice.

Yes you can take no problem.

I'm really worried because my wife just tested positive for Covid-19. I'd like to know more about getting an online video consultation with doctors on Practo. Could you explain the packages and other details? Also, I noticed that when I try to select a Package for Corona Virus, it shows doctors listed under General Physician. Could you help clarify this for me as soon as you can?
