Can you help me figure out the right amount of Betadine to use for gargling? I already tried with a glass of water and mixed in 15ml, but it seemed too diluted. So, I added another 10-15ml to the warm water. Is that too much, or am I doing it right?

View allI'm a bit worried because I've noticed a small lump on the right side of my neck. It feels a bit firm, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if it could just be a swollen lymph node. It hasn't really changed in size or become painful, but it's making me anxious. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own? What could be causing this lump, and do I need to get it checked out soon?

I've been feeling kind of strange since yesterday. My mouth has this metallic taste, and my throat is sore and really hurts. What do you think it could be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a viral infection or possibly a bacterial infection. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the sore throat and pain. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges or gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about drinking alcohol while I'm taking Montek LC. My doctor prescribed it to me, and I'm not sure if there might be any side effects or interactions. Can you tell me if it's safe or if I should avoid drinking?
ideally there is no such interaction between them but as both will cause sedation,better not to consume alchohol when you are sick.
