I'm a bit concerned because whenever I take a deep breath or yawn, I feel a really sharp pain. Plus, I've been dealing with a cold, sneezing, and a mild cough for the last four days. Should I be worried? Could it be something more serious?

How much unexplained weight loss is bad?

Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.
