I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a fever and I've been taking Calpol for it. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink ORS when you have a fever? Does it make any difference? Should I stick to normal water or is ORS a better option in this situation?

I've been taking becosules for a vitamin boost, but I'm a bit concerned because my urine has turned a really bright yellow. Is this something normal, or should I be thinking about stopping the vitamins? What do you think?

I'm a vegetarian and I don't live at home, so it's tough for me to get a proper diet. Because of this, I'm worried I'm not getting enough vitamins. I started taking Zincovit. A family doctor once suggested I take a B-complex vitamin since I use antacid pills regularly. Is it safe to take B-complex vitamins alongside my antacid, and if so, could you recommend a good brand of B-complex that I should be looking into?

maintain regular diet and avoid excess use of antacids
