I'm just wondering, how many Meftal Forte tablets can I take during COVID? My doctor suggested I take them twice daily for three days along with antibiotics and a PPI. He recommended Meftal Forte instead of Dolo 650, and I don't have any other symptoms except a fever. After those three days, is it okay to take Meftal Forte on an as-needed basis?

I'm curious about whether drinking cold, chilled water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is good for you. Could it cause any health problems?

Drinking cold or chilled water on an empty stomach in the morning can have both positive and negative effects on health. _Potential Benefits_ 1. _Boosts metabolism_: Cold water can increase your metabolic rate and help with weight loss. 2. _Improves circulation_: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, which can help improve circulation and increase energy levels. 3. _Supports digestive health_: Cold water can help stimulate digestive enzymes and improve bowel movements. _Potential Risks_ 1. _Shocks the digestive system_: Drinking cold water on an empty stomach can shock the digestive system, leading to stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting. 2. _Increases heart rate and blood pressure_: Cold water can cause a sudden increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which may be problematic for people with pre-existing heart conditions. 3. _Can cause dehydration_: Although it may seem counterintuitive, drinking cold water can cause dehydration if the body is not able to absorb it properly. _Precautions_ 1. _Start with lukewarm water_: If you want to drink water on an empty stomach, start with lukewarm water and gradually decrease the temperature. 2. _Drink in moderation_: Drink water in moderation, and avoid gulping down large amounts at once. 3. _Monitor your body's response_: Pay attention to how your body reacts to drinking cold water on an empty stomach. If you experience any discomfort, stop immediately. In conclusion, while drinking cold water on an empty stomach may have some benefits, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions to avoid any adverse effects.

I'm a bit unsure about how to use these ear drops for wax that I got from the chemist. Theyre called Drep Wax drops, but there's no information on the bottle about how many drops I should be using. Could you let me know how to go about using them?

You can instill 3 drops three times a day,do not attempt to remove the wax by your self,let it come out on its own.
