Hi Doctor, My mother is covid positive and has high fever and dry cough since 6 days. She is taking Azithromycin twice a day and Dolo 650 every 5 -6 hrs. The fever is usually above 100 also reached 102. Sometimes after taking medicine it is 99.8 Also taking zincovit, vit c, Rantac tablets. She has bp for which she takes medicines and borderline diabetes managing through food control. Should we admit her in hospital? SpO2 is above 96 (mostly 97) Thanks.

I've had this constant problem of tonsil stones for a while now.Around a week back I tried very aggressively by coughing and applying pressure with my jaw and tongue to remove it from my throat because it was disturbing me and was successful.But that wasn't the issue a day or two after I did that there has been constant pain in the upper left side of my throat.It hurts when I eat sometimes and and has not healed.I'm not 100% completely sure that what I did to get my tonsil stones out is the cause though it's the most probable cause.What's worrisome is that it hasn't healed in so long.The area is sore and hurts.I'm pretty sure it's my tonsils that have infected or swollen.Even when I touch the area in under the back part of my jaw close to the pinna of the ear it hurts.

I got tested for Platelets on same consultation day. Results - 3.6L platelets. But pain has increased now. It comes & goes in every joints. I have history of Vitamin D deficiency earlier. Is my Vitamin D low? Should I start taking Vitamin D tablets? I am vaccinated + no history of COVID infection.

I had dengue from 8th Oct to 21st Oct and covid from 19th Oct (inspite of 2 doses of vaccine 2 months ago). I also had conjunctivitis on 21st Oct and was told to take Moxifloxacin and Dexamethasone eye drops 4 times a day for 5 days. I took only this medicine while I was having covid. My covid symptoms so far were: 99.3°F (sometimes) for first 2 days, loss of smell, cold, mild cough. Am I at risk of getting mucormycosis since I used Dexamethasone eye drops on one eye?

Hello, I have allergy and catch cold frequently with running nose. Untill running nose is fine, I manage. But sometimes the cold increases and leads to throad pain eventually leading to fever. In this case I have to take medicine, like last time I consulted doctor and had amoxyllin and montair Lc. I avoid taking cold medicine, but in rare case whenevr I take my nose gets choked up completely. Its not like I have stuffy nose or cough,it just gets dry and blocked making it very difficult to breathe. Only taking otrivin nasal drop relieves it for few hours but I have to take it atleast 3 4 days before becoming normal. Seeking advice on what to do, I cannot avoid medicine in some instances, and whether taking otrivin for nasal blocking is fine. Or is it something else like sinus. Or does everybody feels same having cold.
