After covid issue
My father was tested covid positive on 26th April ,2021. He got discharged on 16th May with medication which got completed on 7th June. After covid, he is facing certain health issues like head reeling while going to sleep and while waking up from bed. Also , there is little cough issue for which a doctor prescribed Mucinac 600mg and asthakind LS syrup and Allegra 120 today. Please confirm if it is okay to give him these medicines ? He is also diabetic so I am a bit concerned about giving him any medicine.
