My dad was admitted about a week ago. His white blood cell count was 16,800, but it's normal now. However, the Widal test came back positive at 1:160. He's on treatment with Pipzo 4.5g injections, Pantop, Ns 500ml, Nurostar injections, and taking Calpol 650 and Cefuroxime 500 twice a day. Is this the right approach? I'm a bit worried and could use some guidance.

View allI'm curious if it's safe to take 60,000 IU of vitamin D every week. With the lockdown and winter coming, I'm not getting much sun exposure. Can you advise?
Yes, taking 60,000 IU of vitamin D per week is generally safe for most people, especially if you're deficient, but it's important to follow your doctor's recommendation and monitor your levels. Since you're not getting enough sun exposure, this supplementation can help maintain optimal levels, but always keep track of any symptoms and consult your doctor regularly.

I'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?
donot worry , if there are any other comorbidites then you should worry
