I'm noticing a lump in my armpit and I'm not sure who I should see about it. Should I start with a general physician or is it better to go straight to a specialist? Would love your advice on this.

I'm dealing with a viral fever right now and I'm feeling alright at the moment. I've been sticking to fluids and vegetarian meals, but I'm really craving some spicy food, like non-vegetarian biryani. Is it okay to satisfy that craving while I'm in this condition?

-It's good that you're feeling better! You can enjoy some spicy non-vegetarian biryani if your appetite and digestion are normal now. Just eat in moderation and ensure it's freshly cooked to avoid upsetting your stomach.
