I've just tested positive for COVID and my CT level is 15. I've had symptoms like a common cold for the last four days. What exactly does this CT level mean for me? Could you suggest any medications I should take? I'm really worried and would appreciate your advice.

View allI'm dealing with a cold and cough and am unsure about what kind of meals would be best to eat right now. Also, I'm trying to avoid citrus fruits, so I'm wondering which fruits would be good alternatives. Can I drink coconut water during this time too?
When having a cold and cough, opt for warm, nourishing meals like chicken soup, vegetable broths, and easy-to-digest foods like rice, bananas, and toast; for fruits, consider alternatives to citrus fruits like apples, grapes, and mangoes, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants; coconut water can be consumed in moderation, as it provides hydration and electrolytes, but be mindful of its high sugar content.

I'm really worried because I've had a fever for the past 5 days, and after seeing a doctor, I found out that my white blood cell count is down to 2300 and my platelets are at 0.81 lakhs. I did a dengue test today, and it came back positive, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. My doctor mentioned something about starting treatment on the 5th day. Can you please help me understand what kind of treatment to expect for dengue?
Hi there I understand your concern... There is no specific treatment for dengue its just supportive and symptomatic...treatment is mainly to reduce fever, prevent dehydration and to observe patient carefully...if you are not having spontaneous bleeding nothing to worry... Just consult nearest physician and get your platelets checked daily as count bellow 20k may lead to dengue shock syndrome in that case you will require platelets transfusion...

I'm trying to get a medical fitness certificate from a government hospital, and I'm a bit confused about how to go about it. I've got this proforma that needs to be filled out by a government doctor. Can you guide me on how the process works, or what steps I should take to ensure I can get this done properly?
To obtain a medical fitness certificate from a government hospital, you will need to visit the hospital's outpatient department (OPD) and consult a government doctor. Bring your proforma along with valid identification, and the doctor will assess your health and fill out the required details on the form.
