View allI accidentally took Allegra 120mg once in the afternoon and then again at night. Should I be worried about that? Are there any serious side effects from taking it twice like this?
If you mistakenly take two doses of Allegra 120mg in a day, there may be an increased risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and headache. It is important to stick to the recommended dosage of one tablet (120mg) per day to avoid potential adverse effects. If you have taken two doses in a day, monitor yourself for any unusual symptoms and consider skipping the next dose to prevent further complications.

I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my rib, kind of towards the end of one rib. It's been there for a few weeks now. It doesn't bother me when I'm breathing, but I notice it more when I touch it or if I'm moving around a lot at work. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I'm really not feeling great since last night. I've got a high fever and my whole body aches. I haven't seen a doctor yet; just been trying to rest in bed, but it hasn't helped much. Could you suggest some medication that might help?
