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.

Hey, I recently recovered from dengue and it's been about two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital. I'm feeling healthy now, but I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start drinking alcohol or if I should wait a bit longer. Also, is it alright to smoke again, or could that cause any problems?

Yes you can consume Alcohol nut in limited quantity.

I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.
