I'm having some pain on the right side of my chest, kind of near the nipple area. It's really freaking me out. It also hurts when I touch it. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I've been having this low-grade fever for 16 days now, hovering between 98 and 99.8. I took a Widal test and my results showed S.typhiO 1320 and S typhi H 1160. The doctor I saw prescribed Azilide500 and Oflomac400 for me. I even had a urine test done, which came back normal. Sometimes my fever goes away, but then it creeps back up to 99. It's making me a bit impatient and kind of worried. How much longer is this likely to last, and is there anything else I should be doing?

We're planning to adopt a child and need to get a medical certificate for the adoption process with CARA. It should say we're not dealing with any chronic illnesses and are fit and healthy. We're wondering, should we go to a general physician or a gynaecologist for this? And what kind of medical tests are usually involved? Would really appreciate any advice.

Clove oil can be quite potent and potentially irritating, especially if used undiluted or in excess. The darkening of your lips and mouth, along with the skin peeling off, suggests a chemical burn or irritation. _Immediate Remedies_ 1. _Stop using clove oil_: Discontinue using clove oil on your gums immediately. 2. _Curd or yogurt_: Continue applying curd or yogurt to the affected area for its cooling and soothing effects. 3. _Aloe vera gel_: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. 4. _Coconut oil_: Gently apply coconut oil to the affected area to help moisturize and protect the skin. 5. _Topical antibiotic cream_: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, like Neosporin or Bacitracin, to the affected area to prevent infection. _Oral Care Alternatives_ 1. _Desensitizing toothpaste_: Switch to a desensitizing toothpaste, like Sensodyne, to help alleviate gum recession. 2. _Saltwater rinse_: Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater several times a day to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the affected area. 2. _Increased redness or swelling_: If the affected area becomes increasingly red, swollen, or inflamed. 3. _Pus or discharge_: If you notice pus or discharge from the affected area. 4. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C).

I accidentally took a 500mg azithromycin tablet thinking it was an anti-allergic medicine. Should I continue taking it for the full 3-day course, or is it okay to stop now and not take any more?
