Question 1

I'm dealing with a really bad chest block and cough, and I just can't shake this cold. It's been three days now, and I haven't been able to sleep at all. I really need some quick relief so I can breathe easier and finally get a good night's rest. What can I do to feel better?

Question 2

I'm feeling a bit concerned about a swollen lymph node under my chin. It's tender to touch and has been swollen for about 45 days. This isn't the first time it's happened  its come up once or twice a year in the same spot but eventually goes away. Im just really tired of dealing with it. I had a head cold about three weeks ago but other than that, I'm a healthy 27-year-old and take pretty good care of myself. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question 3

I'm on chymoral forte three times daily and cynomycin twice a day, but I didn't catch when exactly I'm supposed to take them. Is it supposed to be before or after meals? And how long should I wait between eating and taking these meds? I found some info online saying chymoral forte is to be taken half an hour before meals and cynomycin two hours after meals. Does that sound right to you?

Accepted Answer

both medicine should be taken after food
