I'm feeling pretty confused and a bit worried about this pain I've got going on. It started in my arms and now it's spread to my neck and shoulders. I'm not sure who I should reach out to firstshould I go to a general physician, a pain specialist, a physiotherapist, or an orthopedist? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Deworming medications are usually recommended for children and people living in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. However, if you're an adult looking to deworm, here are some common medications:

Albendazole (Zentel): A common deworming medication for adults. Meclizine (Decaris): Another deworming medication for adults. Mebendazole (Vermox): Also used for deworming in adults.

However, before taking any medication:

  1. Consult a doctor: To determine if deworming is necessary and to discuss potential side effects.
  2. Check for contraindications: Ensure you don't have any medical conditions that may interact with the medication.
  3. Follow the recommended dosage: Adhere to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration.

I'm a bit concerned about something that happened yesterday. I had a cold and decided to put some tiger balm on my nose to help with congestion because I've heard it's pretty strong. But later, I noticed a tiny bit might have gotten on my lips when I was drinking coffee. Since then, my throat's been kind of burning, and whenever I burp, that burning sensation is there too. Is this something I should be worried about? What would be the best way to treat it?

It sounds like the Tiger Balm might have irritated your throat or caused mild acid reflux. It's not usually dangerous, but to ease the discomfort, you can try drinking warm water or herbal tea, avoid spicy foods, and take an antacid if needed. If the burning persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.
