I'm experiencing a mild pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could you recommend a medicine that might help? If it doesn't get better, I'm thinking of coming in for a check-up and more treatment. What do you suggest?

I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for your mild chest pain on the left side. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.
