I'm a bit worried about the fumes from soldering since I do a bit of it at home, not regularly, just when needed. I don't really use any protection from the fumes, and I'm curious about how harmful they might be to my lungs. What kind of diseases could these fumes cause? Would a normal medical mask do anything to help with prevention? It's been hard finding much info on this, so I thought I'd ask here.

Sir, my father has been having a fever on and off for the last 3 months. He's been taking antibiotics and Crocin regularly, but there's no improvement. Could there be a reason why he's not getting better, and should we be worried? What do you suggest we do next?

Can you tell me if it's safe to masturbate after getting vaccinated? I'm a bit worried if it might affect the vaccine's effectiveness since I read somewhere that there's no connection between these two processes. Is that true?

Masturbation does not interfere with the efficacy of the vaccination.

I'm wondering if Ceflus CV and Gudcef CV 200 are the same medication. I was supposed to take Ceflus CV, but it wasn't available, so I got Gudcef CV 200 instead. Are they interchangeable, or should I be concerned?

Ceflus CV and Gudcef CV 200 contain similar ingredients but may differ in the exact dosage strength of Cefixime.
