I'm dealing with a vitamin B12 deficiency and I'm not sure when the best time is to take my vitamin B12 capsules. Is there a specific time of day like morning or night that would be more effective, or does it not matter? I'm curious to know what you think.

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 feeling pretty worried because I have a sore throat and just noticed some red bumps at the back of my mouth. I've had a sore throat plenty of times, but I never checked inside my mouth before, so Im not sure if these bumps are normal. Ive also got a cough and a bit of a stuffy nose. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

continue the medicine, no need to consult a doctor
