Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor and to confirm do CBC with differential.
2) Discuss with your Doctor about prescription medication like [oseltamivir] and vitamin B12.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Try to wash your hands. Thorough and frequent hand-washing is an effective way to prevent many common infections. Or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water aren't readily available.
2) Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or a cough. To avoid contaminating your hands, cough or sneeze into a tissue.
3) Try to avoid crowds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
