I am 43 years old and have been taking cocodamol (30/500) for approximately 8 years, prescribed by my doctor for a back injury. My average dose is 4 tablets a day. I am concerned about the long-term use of paracetamol and have read that it may not be good for health. My GP says it's safe as long as I stay within the dose, but I am considering stopping the medication. What are the potential risks, and if I stop taking them, could any damage reverse?

I recently noticed a blister under my tongue. It is not a cancer or a sore, does not hurt, and last night it looked clear, but this morning it has a blueish/purpleish color. What is this and is it something serious?

I had a bad cold three weeks ago, and now I have discomfort in my right lung, similar to what I experienced in my left lung before it went away. I don't have a fever, just congestion that I can't cough up. What could be causing this and what can I do until I can see a doctor on Friday?

I had a knee infection treated with six weeks of antibiotics. Now that I'm off the antibiotics and the knee brace, my knee is still swollen and buckles. I have arthritis and had previous operations on my meniscus and patella tendon. Why does my knee buckle and is the infection the reason for the swelling?
