po = per os (by mouth) / sx = signs/symptoms


Explanation:
Meaning, take 1-2 days, orally, after signs

(the signs/symptoms don't necessarily disappear - after all, why would you take the medication AFTER the signs?) - it just means after the appearance of signs or symptoms, or in some cases once it has disappeared for thatt particular period of time (minute/day/ week.. etc..)

Suerte ... :o)
