I'm currently taking Eltroxin 75 mg for my thyroid first thing in the morning before breakfast. I usually like to have a glass of lemon juice with honey as part of my morning routine. Is it okay for me to drink the lemon juice and honey before taking my Eltroxin? If it is, how much time should I wait after having the juice before taking my tablet? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.
In the morning, you can take Lemon Juice with Honey before taking Eltroxin 75 mg. However, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming the juice before taking the Eltroxin tablet for optimal absorption and effectiveness of the medication.

I've got this hard lump behind my right nipple, and when I squeezed it, this yellow pus-like stuff came out, and now the lump seems smaller. It's weird because it only seemed to be on my right side, but I tried squeezing my left nipple too, and some liquid came out, which kinda hurt. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if there's something I should be worried about?
