I've been dealing with a dry cough for a few days now and have been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could you recommend any tablets that might work better?

I tested positive for Covid 19 back on May 11th, and my CT value was 23 at that time. I've been feeling completely fine and symptom-free for the past 9 days, and my sense of smell is back. When would be the right time for me to get tested again?

Since you've fully recovered and have no symptoms for the last 9 days, you generally don't need to get retested unless required for specific reasons, such as travel or a medical procedure. If you're feeling fine and not in a high-risk situation, you can safely move forward without further testing.

I've been dealing with this body heat issue for the past three months. My palms and hands are hot almost all day, and when I touch any part of my body, it feels warm. My temperature hovers around 98-98.6 degrees, and I'm also getting headaches about 1-2 times a week. It's starting to worry me. Can you help?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which can cause increased body heat, sweating, and hand tremors. Headaches can also be a symptom of this condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if fasting is necessary for a Vitamin B12 blood test. I had mine done about 3 hours after lunch, and now I'm second-guessing whether that might have affected the results. Should I think about getting it retested?

A Vitamin B12 blood test does not typically require fasting. It is usually safe to have the test done at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. Since you had the test done 3+ hours after lunch, there is no need for a retest. The results should still provide valuable information about your Vitamin B12 levels.
