Im on day 12 of a nasty cold and do not feel any better at all. I feel extremely fatigued and unable to function. I have no fever and a negative covid test. Is it worth bothering my GP or is it just a case of riding it out? Thanks in advance?

My son is 2 years old. He has a cough since yesterday. He does not have any fever. He had RS virus when he was 1y. We have not been in contact with anyone who had Covid. Can I medicate at home with the nebulizer or should I get him to a gp?

I am 21 years old and have chicken pox (currently at its peak) as well as 5 days ago I saw someone who has now tested positive for COVID-19 and I am fairly certain I have contracted it as well due to the interaction. What should I do?

Good day, my wife just visited a GP at Medipark Centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a Covid-19 test. She has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4C. We have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?

My 4 year old has chicken pox since last Thursday. Been applying calamine lotion but it doesn't seem to be working. Should I take him to a GP. He hasn't missed any immunization medications.
