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?

I've had swollen lymph nodes for almost three weeks, but I otherwise feel healthy and can't figure out why they're swollen. I've been to my GP and had an ultrasound and blood test, but I'm still waiting on results. I do have anxiety, and it's stressing me out that my lymph nodes have been swollen for so long. Any idea why this could be happening or how serious it might be?

Those symptoms can be uncomfortable and concerning. Possible causes: - Tonsillitis - Pharyngitis - Acid reflux (GERD) - Postnasal drip - Muscle tension Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
