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 24 and had typhoid fever about six months ago. Ever since, I've been feeling unusually cold, like I can't handle even a bit of cool weather, while everyone around me seems fine. Lately, I've been getting mild chest pains and sometimes, out of nowhere, I start shivering and getting goosebumps, even at normal room temperature. I feel sleepy all the time and get tired very quickly, even after light physical activity. Walking long distances has become challenging. I got married two months ago, and after the first few weeks everything was okay, but my health has been getting worse lately. I'm working but can't keep up like everyone else, and it's frustrating because even when it's not cold, I'm in a sweater and still can't shake off the chills. Why am I feeling like this, and should I be worried?

I've been dealing with a bad sore throat and a mild fever that's been coming and going for the last three days. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to get worried. Someone mentioned trying diclomol, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Could you suggest what medicine might help with these symptoms?
