I've been dealing with a sore throat and cough, and I've already tried taking Alex and Moxikind, but it hasn't gotten any better, and it's been a whole week now. Could you recommend another medicine or treatment option that might help? I'm getting a bit worried about it.

I'm dealing with a cold all week and it's giving me headaches. My nose starts running when I get up early in the morning because the weather is so chilly then. When I take a cold tablet, it seems to help for the rest of the day. But the cold just comes back the next morning. Plus, the sneezing from this is non-stop. Any advice on what I can do to get better?

Would advise you to take steam for a few days , may add vicks in it and take steam 2 to 3 times in a day. And u shud consult to rule out other causes of headache including sinusitis

I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a year ago, her B12 levels were found to be around 1800 pgml, but the doctor didn't really look into it much. She recently had Chikungunya, and her CBC showed a high TLC of 14300 cellsmcmm with high polymorphs at 78 and low lymphocytes at 11. Her kidney function was normal, but her liver tests showed SGPT at 40 and alkaline phosphatase at 325. I read online that high B12 levels can be linked to some serious diseases. She's 5 ft tall, weighs 52 kg, and doesn't have any current medical issues. Do you think I should be concerned and possibly get her checked out by a doctor?
