I'm a bit confused about how to take the medication my doctor prescribed because he was too busy to explain, and the chemist's advice was different. They said to take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz Torrent before food once daily, but the chemist mentioned taking them twice daily after food or with food. Also, what are the side effects of Defcort 6 mg? Can you help me out with this?

Take Torkast FX once daily at night after food. Take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz before food, once daily in the morning. Defcort 6 mg may cause side effects like increased appetite, mood changes, or stomach upset; follow the dosage strictly as prescribed for the best results.

I'm dealing with typhoid right now and was wondering if it's okay to masturbate. Is it harmless or should I avoid it while I'm sick?

It's generally safe to masturbate during typhoid if you're feeling well enough and it doesn't cause discomfort. However, typhoid can cause fatigue and weakness, so prioritize rest and hydration to aid recovery. If unsure, consult your doctor for personalized advice.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm always fighting this weird cycle. I start feeling feverish with a mild fever and all achy after 6 pm most days, even though my mornings are perfectly fine. It's like after I eat, this sickness just settles in. I've been dealing with this on and off for about two years now. It lets up for a few months and then comes right back. I've had tests done like CBC, ESR, typhoid, and even checked for vitamin D, but nothing's showing up. I'm curious and kinda worried about why this keeps happening. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
