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've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?

wear a N95 mask if you are going out. take tablet montec lc for 7 days

I've been having a really annoying dry cough lately and it's been keeping me up at night. I've tried drinking more fluids and using a humidifier, but it's not getting any better. Do you have any recommendations for a good cough syrup specifically for dry coughs? I'd love to know what might actually help soothe this!

You can use Grylinctus dx or Ascoril
