I'm really worried about my grandfather. He's had this persistent pain on the left side of his lower ribs for over a month now, about 34 days, and it gets worse when he touches it or coughs. He hasn't had any accidents or injuries recently, so I'm confused about what's going on. Could you advise me on what we should do next to help him feel better?

I'm trying to figure out which Shelcal tablet would be best for my 65-year-old mom. The doctor prescribed one Shelcal a day. There are a bunch of options out therelike Shelcal 500, Shelcal HD, Shelcal CT, Shelcal OS, ShelcalHD 12, Shelcal M, Shelcal 250 mg, and Shelcal K. It's a bit overwhelming, and I just want to make sure I pick the right one for her. Could you help me understand which one might be the most suitable?
