Symptomatic medications....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Apologies for the late reply....

I am sorry to know about the COVID positive result. However I will urge you to stay positive and active. Most people recover from the infection.

I will start you on tab dolo 650mg three times a day along with mixture of vitamins - tab zincovit, cap evion forte and tab limcee - all once daily. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat regularly. Monitor symptoms and watch your vitals (temperature and SPo2).

It is important to quarantine from friends and family. If you have little options for home quarantine, consider hospitalization.

Hope it helps.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Multivitamins may not be needed anymore...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You can stop the vitamin supplements. Drinking plenty of water is important as well as good rest and regular food.

Dolo 650 is an effective medication in treating headaches. You can take it as and when you have a very bad headache.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Brief Answer:
Headache is reported by many post recovery...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, the headache is reported by many COVID-positive patients post-recovery. Drinking lots of fluids, resting adequately, and paracetamol whenever necessary should help. If the headache is not very severe, I will not be overly worried.
