I'm dealing with a cold that's been lingering for about five days now. I've been using Alerid syrup but havent felt any better. Do you think Hicet syrup would be a better option to help with this?

Don't self-medicate with Nexpro 40 without consulting your doctor again. Recurring gas problems may indicate an underlying issue, such as:

Acid reflux

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Food intolerance

Gut motility issues

Chest pain on both sides, even if mild, can be related to:

Gas and acid reflux

Musculoskeletal issues

Anxiety or stress

Underlying cardiac conditions (rare, but possible)

I took Tesco Recovery Powder for an upset stomach but forgot it has paracetamol in it. Earlier I had a cocodamol tablet for post-surgery pain about 2-3 hours before. That's 500mg paracetamol around 7:45pm and then 1000mg at 10:15pm. I didn't go over the daily limit but could this combo cause any harm?

To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.

I'm a bit confused about what "this11 after food" and "food101 after food" means when it comes to taking my meds. Is there a certain way I should be timing them around my meals?

They both mean the same thing essentially. 1 tablet to be taken after food in the morning and in the evening.

I've been experiencing some sharp pain in the upper left side of my chest after sneezing on a flight today. It doesn't hurt more when I take deep breaths, but it's definitely noticeable when I cough or sneeze. I'm wondering if this could be a muscle strain that'll go away on its own, or if there's a chance I've injured my lung or done some other damage. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

take tablet movex mr once a day for 3 days. it will relieve your pain
