Brief Answer:
Not all the drugs are recommended...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I don't suggest the use of ivermectin and doxy for my patients with or without covid. You can take the other medications. Monitor the progress of symptoms and be quarantined at home until you can test for COVID.

Hope this answered your question.

Thank you for your advise. i am still waiting for the RT PCR sample to be collected..

And worrying by the time i get result of the test it will be late to control.
After having Dolo650 fefer was reducing to to normal yesterday.. but today fever has increased to 102 and after taking dolo it reduces to 100.4.

i am already isolated myself and waiting for the RT PCR sample to be collected.
