I've been dealing with some lower back pain, and my doctor prescribed me Zerodol SP to take for two days. I took the pill after eating some fruits and salads, and now I'm a little worried if that might be an issue. Also, I've been on Zifi AZ, which is cefexime and azithromycin, for a urinary tract infection at the same time. Is it okay to take these meds after having fruits and salads, or should I be doing something differently?

No there is no any complication,you can follow your doctors advice,consume more water upto 4L in a day and take adequate rest

I'm really concerned because I've noticed a bump on the shaft of my penis. It's got these little holes at the base where some white stuff is coming out. Initially, it was just shiny and pink, but now it's started to bleed a bit. I'm really worried that it could be cancer. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
