Cold symptoms/chat advice

Other

I’m going on vacation Sunday, but I started feeling sick Monday with a sore throat and body aches. I’ve taken several COVID tests, and thankfully they’ve all been negative so far. I plan to test again Saturday before I leave.

Since my doctor is on vacation herself, I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me understand which medications I can take, when to take them, and which ones I shouldn’t mix. I usually ask family for advice, but they’re not always available. So far, ChatGPT Plus has been helpful with things like Tylenol, Motrin, and medication timing. Is it risky to use ChatGPT this way, or do other people do this too?
