Thank you for your question.
First and foremost, we understand your worries, especially regarding potential ongoing symptoms COVID-19 infection.
Want to boost your body’s immunity? Supplements are always a viable option!
With regard to the supplements - which is a rather good initiative - one must also remember to not only depend on supplementation to ensure good health. Notably one must also have the right & healthy diet, good sleep & personal hygiene, and exercise regularly according to the pandemic & MCO’s SOP. Antibiotic however not only requires a doctor’s prescription, but it is also only effective against bacteria, not a viral infection.
In the meantime our Care Consultants will be in touch with you privately to assist you and provide you with more in-depth options regarding your fathers’ current health.
I would also encourage you to answer this quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories. Further instructions will be given at the end of the quiz. Please act accordingly.
