I'm experiencing some pain under my left underarm, and it's really uncomfortable, especially when I sneeze or cough. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it maybe just a muscle strain? What should I do?

I'm in good health and don't have any ailments, but I've been told I need a medical certificate for my swimming lessons. Do I need to schedule an appointment just for this, or is there a simpler process to get a certificate when you're perfectly healthy?

I'm feeling feverish for the past couple of days, and I'm currently on medication for it. Is it okay to sleep in an air-conditioned room while having a fever? Would appreciate any advice.

I've got this sudden sharp pain in my left rib when I breathe in, and it started while I was just sitting at my desk at work. It's been half a day, and it hasn't gone away. I can't take a full deep breath. Do you think this will just go away on its own, or should I be worried?

Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
