I'm having some pain around my rib, just under the left breast, but only when I move a certain way. I can walk and sit fine without any pain, but it really hurts when I'm lying down or trying to get up. I've tried using pain relief sprays and balms, but there's been no change. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this pain?

I'm really worried about my dad. He took Lipaglyn 4mg for his high cholesterol as his doctor suggested, but now he's got a fever of 102F, body aches, and his throat is bothering him. We gave him Dolo last night, which brought the fever down a little to 100.5F, but this morning it's back up to 101.5F. We gave him Dolo again, but I'm not sure what else to do since it's Sunday and I can't reach a doctor. What would you suggest we do next?

Its possible that the fever and symptoms are unrelated to Lipaglyn and might be due to an infection. Continue giving Dolo as needed (every 6 hours) to manage the fever and ensure your father stays hydrated. If the symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor as soon as possible.

I've been feeling really dizzy for the last three days, almost like I might pass out, and I'm also dealing with nausea and just a general sense of weakness. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
