Hello Subhash ji,

You’re right to question whether just 2 days of taking multivitamins can help. In most cases, multivitamins take 2 to 4 weeks of regular use to show noticeable benefits like improved energy, reduced fatigue, or better skin and hair. Some nutrients, like vitamin B12 or D, may take even longer, especially if the deficiency is severe.

If your wife feels better for a couple of days after taking them, it could be:

• A placebo effect (feeling better just because you expect to), or

• Temporary relief from a mild vitamin deficiency or general tiredness.

But since the weakness keeps coming back, it’s important not to rely only on supplements. This pattern may point to something more, like:

• Low haemoglobin (anaemia)

• Thyroid imbalance

• Poor nutrition

• Or even stress and lack of proper rest

The best step forward is to get a few basic blood tests—CBC, thyroid function, vitamin B12, and D levels—to identify the root cause.

Wishing your wife a speedy and lasting recovery! Let us know how we can support you.

Dear Verma ji,

Swelling on the lips in a 3-year-old, especially when it appears in the morning and again in the evening, could be due to several possible causes, such as:

🔍 Common reasons include:

• Allergic reaction to food, bedding material, mosquito bites, or dust mites

• Contact dermatitis (reaction to something touching the lips, like toothpaste, fabric, or cosmetics)

• Angioedema, which is swelling under the skin, is often triggered by allergies.

• Less commonly, nutritional deficiencies or infections could also contribute. 

Since the swelling appears and disappears daily, it’s important to:

1. Observe patterns, like certain foods, environmental exposure, or products used around the child.

2. Consult a paediatrician or pediatric allergist, who may suggest:

   • Allergy testing (if needed)

   • Antihistamines or topical treatment (only after proper evaluation)

🩺 Important: Please avoid self-medication. A proper diagnosis will help prevent worsening or recurrence.

Hello Gourav,

Thank you for reaching out! If you're looking to gain healthy weight, here are some medically-backed tips to consider:

1. Consume more calories than your body burns. Include nutrient-dense foods like nuts, seeds, avocados, and grains in your diet.
2. To support muscle growth, include protein sources such as eggs, chicken, fish, lentils, and dairy products.
3. Engage in strength-building exercises, like weightlifting, to ensure the weight gain is muscle rather than fat.
4. Incorporate healthy fats like olive oil, ghee, and nuts into your meals.
5. Eat 5–6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 large ones to boost your calorie intake.
6. Focus on gaining weight through healthy options instead of sugary or processed foods that can harm your health.

Consult a Specialist: It's always a good idea to consult a doctor or nutritionist for personalized advice based on your health condition and goals.
