What medicines should my COVID positive brother take at 26?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I studied your problem carefully. Nimesulide is a banned drug. May I know why you are using Hydrochloric Acid? Or is it a typographical error? Use medicines as per the doctor's suggestion. Self-medication can create more side effects than curing the disease.

Will frequent blood tests cause low ferritin levels?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. First, let me assure you that even if you donate about a liter (1000 milliliters) of blood every year, you will not become sick if you are otherwise healthy. Even if you get blood tests done 100 times, they will collect only 100 ml of blood from you, do not be paranoid repeated blood tests cannot cause illness. Low ferritin is the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia. Common causes of anemia are loss of blood due to hemorrhoids, loss of blood due to excessive menstrual blood, blood loss due to gastric ulcers, intestinal parasites, etc.
