I have multiple queries that I need to execute on MySQL DB using python. If I have 3 queries running 5 mins each then it takes approx total 15 mins to execute all queries

Is it possible to execute/fire all 3 queries at the same time using threading so the executing time is reduced to approx 5 mins?

when I try multi-threading or multi-processing iI get the error as

OperationalError: 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

          database = db_name
            )
    cursor = mysql_db.cursor()
    return(cursor)

    cursor.execute(query)
