I've had a cold for the past four days, and now it's moved to my chest. I've been on amoxycillin that was prescribed by my doctor. Today, I've started feeling a heavy head too. Are there any medicines you can recommend to help ease my headache?

View allI'm dealing with a really frustrating dry cough and a bit of a fever, and on top of that, I have some back pain too. I'm wondering if MUCOCID Decongestant tablets might help with all these symptoms. Is it a good idea to use them for what I'm going through, or should I be looking at something else?
Mucocid Decongestant tablets, containing pseudoephedrine, can help relieve dry cough and fever, but for back pain, you may need additional or alternative medication

I'm trying to increase my B12 level from 200 to 900. Can you tell me how many 500 mcg doses I should take? And what's the best schedule for taking them?
1 tablet daily for 3 months would help, because, orally only 10% of consumed dose will be actively available,the remaining will be excreted,hence it takes long time to restore,also consume eggs and adequate quantity of meat,they are rich in B12.
