Thank you Doctor.
We are quarantined for 14 days and its day 4 and have to go for 10 days further as we have tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms.
Will get Ibuprofen and try a cold compress. Any specific antibiotics should I get or kind of drops or paste to disinfect the targeted area as the pain starts for her in the night and impacts her sleep and sometimes painkillers also dont work.
