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.

My wife has been dealing with diarrhoea and a fever for the past couple of days, and now her oxygen level reads 94 on the pulse oximeter. Is this something we should be worried about? She doesn't have breathlessness or a cough right now, but I'm trying to figure out if this SpO2 level is safe, and when we should be concerned. Could you give some advice on this?

94 is safe no need to worry

Hey, I've been wondering if it's okay to start taking vitamin B12 tablets without checking in with a doctor first. Also, is there a specific time of day that's best for taking them?

I'm someone who usually takes Dolo 650 when I'm feeling feverish or have a headache. But I recently heard that it's banned in India. Is it harmful? What are the alternative medications I can take for this?

Dolo 650mg is not banned in India. You can consider taking Crocin 650 mg. It contains paracetamol which is effective for reducing fever and relieving headache. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.
