I recently found out that I have a deficiency in vitamin B12 and vitamin D. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what might be causing this. Are there specific reasons why these deficiencies could happen? Also, what are the best options or medicines available to treat a B12 deficiency? Would love some guidance.

I've been having a really annoying dry cough lately and it's been keeping me up at night. I've tried drinking more fluids and using a humidifier, but it's not getting any better. Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

You can use Grylinctus dx or Ascoril
