I'm struggling with a mouth ulcer that's been bothering me for three days now. Could you recommend a tablet or something to help with it? I'm really looking for some relief.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I recommend using "Bonjela" gel for mouth ulcers. Apply a small amount directly to the ulcer up to 3 times a day after meals and at bedtime. Additionally, you can take "Ibuprofen" 400mg tablets as needed for pain relief, up to 3 times a day after meals. Make sure to drink plenty of water and avoid spicy or acidic foods to help with healing.

View allI took three pills of Curam which has 875mg of amoxicillin, hoping it would help with my cold. But then I realized maybe I shouldn't have taken them, and now I'm dealing with some bad headaches. Should I keep taking the antibiotic or stop completely?
It is not recommended to continue taking the antibiotic without proper medical advice, especially if you are experiencing headaches. I would advise you to stop taking the antibiotic and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance on the appropriate treatment for your cold and headaches.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit tablets and general multivitamin tablets. Which one would you recommend I take to boost my immunity? Also, is there a best time of day to take them for someone who's generally healthy?
For a normal person looking to boost immunity, both Zincovit and a multivitamin tablet can be beneficial. The best time to take these supplements is usually after meals to enhance absorption. Consistency in taking the supplements daily is key to seeing the benefits in the long run. Remember, supplements should not be a substitute for a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. If you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
