I've got a sore throat that I'm pretty sure is an infection, and my tonsils are kind of swollen too. I've been coughing a bit, but there's no fever. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to feel better?

Consider consulting a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, as your symptoms suggest a possible viral or bacterial throat infection, and they may prescribe antibiotics if necessary, or recommend symptom-relieving measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

View allI've been dealing with this dry cough and random discomfort all over, like in my chest, pelvis, and abdomen. These discomforts just appear and disappear, and they don't usually last long, except for my chest, which lingered on two occasions. Also, I've been feeling this slight ache in my shoulder and lower back for about a month now. Just wondering what's going on with my body? Should I be worried, or is there something I should do to make it stop?

I'm a bit confused about how to take the medication my doctor prescribed because he was too busy to explain, and the chemist's advice was different. They said to take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz Torrent before food once daily, but the chemist mentioned taking them twice daily after food or with food. Also, what are the side effects of Defcort 6 mg? Can you help me out with this?
Take **Torkast FX** once daily at night after food. Take **Defcort 6 mg** and **Veloz** before food, once daily in the morning. **Defcort 6 mg** may cause side effects like increased appetite, mood changes, or stomach upset; follow the dosage strictly as prescribed for the best results.

I'm taking Maxirich multivitamins on my own without a doctor's prescription. Is that alright? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice.
It is generally safe to take multivitamins like Maxirich without a doctor's prescription, as they are available over the counter. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen. The usual dosage for Maxirich multivitamin is one tablet daily with a meal.
