I've been experiencing some chest pain for the past few days. It moves around - sometimes on the left side, other times on the right. I'm not sure if it's muscular pain or something related to my chest rib cage. I dont have any issues with breathing and there's no cough either. I've tried deep breathing to see if there's any discomfort, but it doesnt hurt when I do that. I had a chest X-ray just last month and everything looked fine. I do have a deficiency in Vitamin D and B12. Could this be related? What's your take on this?

I'm a bit confused about how to take the medication my doctor prescribed because he was too busy to explain, and the chemist's advice was different. They said to take Defcort 6 mg and Veloz Torrent before food once daily, but the chemist mentioned taking them twice daily after food or with food. Also, what are the side effects of Defcort 6 mg? Can you help me out with this?

Take **Torkast FX** once daily at night after food. Take **Defcort 6 mg** and **Veloz** before food, once daily in the morning. **Defcort 6 mg** may cause side effects like increased appetite, mood changes, or stomach upset; follow the dosage strictly as prescribed for the best results.

I've been dealing with a cough, cold, and fever for the past three days. I've tried taking Wincold and paracetamol, but I haven't felt any better. My nose is runny, I have a headache, and my whole body hurts. Could you suggest some medicines that might actually help with these symptoms?
