I've been dealing with a cough and cold for over two weeks now. My GP advised me to check my blood, and it turns out my ESR is 30 and AEC is 480. He told me to take Diethylcarbamazine and Chlorphenaramine. Is it safe to take these medications along with my current thyroid medication, Atorvastatin, and Fefol? I'm just a bit nervous about mixing them all.

I've been dealing with COVID for about ten days, and thankfully most of the symptoms are gone, but I still have this annoying itch in my throat. Its making me uncomfortable. Could you recommend something to help soothe this throat irritation?

You can try using lozenges containing benzocaine or menthol to help soothe the throat irritation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing phenol or glycerin to help relieve the itchiness. Make sure to stay hydrated and gargle with warm salt water to further alleviate the discomfort.
