Ambulax-M is a combination medication used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) such as abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort. It contains Mebeverine and Chlordiazepoxide. Mebeverine helps to relieve muscle spasms in the intestines, while Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine that helps to reduce anxiety and stress-related symptoms that can worsen IBS. The prescribed duration of 10 days is safe for this medication. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects while taking Ambulax-M, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm feeling a bit worried about a lump I found in my armpit. Should I go see a specialist or would a general medicine doctor be a better choice? I'd really appreciate any advice as soon as possible.

You should consult a General Surgeon for evaluation and management of armpit lumps. They are specialized in diagnosing and treating conditions related to lumps and bumps in the body. If necessary, they may refer you to an Oncologist for further evaluation.

I've been sleeping with the AC on and now I've caught a cold, cough, and even a mild fever thats been bugging me since yesterday. I want to know if taking Paracetamol would be a wise choice, or should I just wait for it to pass on its own? By the way, I just finished an antibiotic course last week after a tooth extraction.

Given your recent antibiotic course and current symptoms, it's essential to be cautious. Paracetamol can help alleviate your mild fever, cold, and cough symptoms. However, consider the following: _Paracetamol Precautions_ 1. _Dosage_: Take the recommended dose (500-1000 mg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Liver health_: Since you've had a recent antibiotic course, your liver might be under stress. Paracetamol can also affect liver function, so monitor your body's response. 3. _Underlying conditions_: If you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult your doctor before taking Paracetamol. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Rest and hydration_: Focus on getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover. 2. _Warm liquids_: Drink warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 3. _Saline nasal sprays_: Use a saline nasal spray to help loosen mucus and reduce congestion. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Fever escalation_: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for more than 3 days. 2. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache. 3. _Prolonged recovery_: If your symptoms don't improve within 7-10 days.

I'm feeling pretty miserable with a runny nose, headache, and a bit of a fever since yesterday. I tried taking some nimesulide and paracetamol, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest something that might actually work? I'm really looking for the best prescription you could recommend.
