I'm dealing with worms and it's been bothering me for a bit now. I'm also breastfeeding my baby. Is it safe to take medication for the worms while I'm feeding? I'm just really worried about any possible effects on my baby.

I'm a bit confused about the tablets I have at home. The doctor recommended I take D Rise 60k, but I found some Uprise D3 60k here. Are these the same thing, and is it okay if I take the Uprise D3 instead of buying new ones?

Yes both are same you can take either

I'm feeling really weak and tired, and I'm having leg pain after my viral fever. The fever's gone after taking a 5-day course of medication like Dolo 650, Azee 500, and Allegra M. But now, whenever I walk around 200 meters, my legs hurt and I feel exhausted. Why is this happening, and what should I do about it?

To help with your symptoms, you can try taking a combination of B complex vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium. I recommend taking Supradyn multivitamin once daily for a month to help boost your energy levels and support muscle function. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the painful areas on your legs for relief. Make sure to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. If the symptoms persist, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm 39 and I've been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days now. I tried taking Levolin Plus for my cough, but it feels like the phlegm is stuck in my chest and won't come out. I'm also hearing some noises from my ears. Can you recommend any medications, like a cough syrup or antibiotics, that might help me get some relief?

take tablet amoxyclav for 5 days and syrup ascoril twice a day
