Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting your query; I read it.

I am sorry you tested positive for covid.

I suggest you to isolate yourself for the next 7 days. You need to take symptomatic treatment for your symptoms.

I suggest you to take Tablet Azithromycin 500mg once daily in the noon, after food for next 3 days. Along with this, you need cough syrup like Syrup Kofarest or Corex 10ml twice daily after breakfast and dinner. Both these medicines are prescription drugs, please get them prescribed by your doctor.

Along with the above medicines, you will also need symptomatic treatment for next 3 days as below:

- tablet Paracetamol 650mg every 4 hours
- tablet Vitamin C thrice daily
- tablet Zinc 20mg twice daily
- tablet cetirizine 10mg twice daily

Other general measures include:

- Consume fresh fruits and vegetables
- consume freshly prepared food
- maintain hydration

Most important of all, please follow covid appropriate behavior (wearing mask, frequent sanitizing of hands, and maintaining social distance), wherever you are.

Let me know if you have more queries.

Regards,
Dr Shanthi E
