I'm feeling pain under my breast and kind of in the lower chest area since this morning. It really hurts when I touch it and even more when I try to take a deep breath. I'm worried about what it could be, but with the current situation, I'm scared to go to the hospital for an X-ray or anything like that. I had the same issue last year, and it got better after taking calcium supplements. Can you suggest what I should do now?

I've been feeling a bit off and noticed my temperature is around 98.2F. I'm kind of worried if that's considered a fever, especially since it's summer. Is having a temperature between 97 and 99F something I should be concerned about right now?

No its not considered as fever
