This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
3X is barely homeopathic. 30C is pure energy medicine. If you want to follow your doctor's instructions, then you will need to find another source of the remedy. You can probably order from this ABC site.
The 'X' series means it was diluted 1 part to 9 (decimal scale) and then succussed (vigorously shaken), and then diluted and succussed again, for how many times the 'X' says. So, 1X is effectively a 10% dilution succussed once, and 3X is a 1/1000 dilutino succussed three times.
The 'C' series means it was diluted 1 part to 99 (centessial scale) and then succussed, and then repeated for how many times the 'x' says.
With the increased dilutions and succussions the strength (potency) of the remedy increases. That is because it is an energy medicine and does not require any material dose left in it to work.
The proper dosage is very important. Different dosages are used in different situations. Depending on the situation, the lower potency might be more effective in on situation, and the higher in another. Your homeopath has a reason for recommending 30C, so that is what you should use in this case.

Sorry, I misread your original post. I thought you were under the care of a homeopath.
If not, you first need to know if that is the right remedy. You will need to explain your case in a fair amount of detail - all your symptoms - so the correct remedy, potency and dosage schedule can be recommended. (There are examples elsewhere here of the type of questions you should answer.) So far you haven't explained what the problem is.
