I've been having a really annoying dry cough lately and it's been keeping me up at night. I've tried drinking more fluids and using a humidifier, but it's not getting any better. Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

Question

I'm a vegetarian and I don't live at home, so it's tough for me to get a proper diet. Because of this, I'm worried I'm not getting enough vitamins. I started taking Zincovit. A family doctor once suggested I take a B-complex vitamin since I use antacid pills regularly. Is it safe to take B-complex vitamins alongside my antacid, and if so, could you recommend a good brand of B-complex that I should be looking into?

Question

I've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?

Question

I recently got some tests done for Vitamin B and Vitamin D deficiencies, and the reports showed there's some issue. I'm feeling a bit concerned and would really appreciate some guidance on what steps I should take next or what these results might mean for my health. What should I be expecting in terms of treatment or lifestyle changes?
