I'm experiencing really sharp pain on my left side under my armpit whenever I bend over. It also gets really painful if I try to lay on my left side. Should I be worried about this? What could possibly be causing this shooting pain?

I'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?

no need to worry follow your doctors advice

I got my vaccine today, and I'm wondering if it's okay to smoke afterwards. Should I wait before lighting up, and for how long if needed? Is smoking even related to the vaccine at all? I was advised not to drink alcohol after the shot, but no one mentioned anything about smoking. What should I do?

i will not advise you for smoking and conxuming liquor because all these cause bad impact on our health
