Query related to medicines
Hi,
I am raising this query for my father who is a heart patient and had an angioplasty done in June 2021. Would like to know if he can take antibiotics and zinc and vitamin supplements for immunity since everyone around us seems to be falling sick due to COVID.
Kindly suggest.

Antibiotics won't prevent a person from getting covid infection.
