I've been dealing with constipation for the last 8 months and after some tests, my doctor said I have low levels of Vitamin B12 and D3. I've been taking injections for that, but also found out my bad cholesterol, the LDL, is a bit high. I've read up on ways to bring it down and a lot of places suggest regular walks. I also stumbled upon info that said Apple Cider Vinegar might help with high cholesterol. Could you let me know if it's okay for me to try Apple Cider Vinegar for reducing my LDL cholesterol?

Can I take Mucinex and Allegra at the same time? I had a chest cold recently and was put on antibiotics, but I'm still dealing with a lot of phlegm. Is it okay to combine these meds?

Got stung by bees last night on my hand, and it swelled and burned for a couple of hours. I used ice, honey, and a baking soda paste, which helped calm it down. By this morning, there's still some pain and swelling, but it's minimal and not very noticeable. I didn't have any allergic reaction to the sting. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot?

you probably don't need a tetanus shot after bee stings. However, if you have any concerns or if the condition worsens (for example, if theres increasing redness, pain, or pus), its always best to check in with a healthcare provider for further advice.

I've been having pain on the left side of my rib cage for about a week and just today I noticed there's an indent there. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will heal on its own? It's kind of freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
