View allI'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

I'm having some pain around my rib, just under the left breast, but only when I move a certain way. I can walk and sit fine without any pain, but it really hurts when I'm lying down or trying to get up. I've tried using pain relief sprays and balms, but there's been no change. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this pain?
A x-ray chest pa view and ecg is advised to the patient. Tab ibuprofen 400 mg sos for pain is advised to the patient.

I'm wondering if fasting is necessary for a Vitamin B12 blood test. I had mine done about 3 hours after lunch, and now I'm second-guessing whether that might have affected the results. Should I think about getting it retested?
A Vitamin B12 blood test does not typically require fasting. It is usually safe to have the test done at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. Since you had the test done 3+ hours after lunch, there is no need for a retest. The results should still provide valuable information about your Vitamin B12 levels.
