I'm feeling a bit worried. So, I was having some trouble swallowing and the doctor prescribed me Aziwok 500 once a day and Calpol twice a day for 5 days. It's been 2 days, and my throat's feeling better, but now I'm running a fever of about 101. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about this?

I'm feeling really under the weather with a cold and a lot of sneezing. I've heard about this med called Montek LC. Do you think its okay for me to take it, or is there something else youd recommend?

Given the sudden appearance of the red spot and your history of tobacco chewing, it's essential to take precautions. Here's what you can do: *Immediate Action* 1. *Stop tobacco chewing immediately*: This will help prevent further irritation and potential harm. 2. *Monitor the spot closely*: Keep an eye on the spot's size, color, and texture. If it changes or persists, consult your doctor. *Oral Care* 1. *Maintain good oral hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly to keep your mouth clean. 2. *Use a topical antioxidant gel or mouthwash*: This can help soothe the area and promote healing. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Schedule a dental check-up*: Visit your dentist for a thorough examination, even if it's earlier than your scheduled appointment. 2. *Consult your doctor*: If the spot persists or changes, consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. *Potential Causes* The red spot could be a minor issue, such as: - Trauma or irritation from tobacco chewing - Mouth ulcers or canker sores - Oral thrush or fungal infections However, it's crucial to monitor the spot and consult your doctor to rule out more serious conditions, such as: - Oral cancer (although rare, it's essential to investigate) - Precancerous lesions Stay vigilant, and don't hesitate to seek medical attention if you notice any changes or concerns.

I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been experiencing this weird internal fever sensation every evening and I feel super uncomfortable. And in the mornings, I wake up feeling really weak. It's been happening every day for the last 15 days. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried?
