I'm really worried because my roommate has been dealing with swine flu for the past couple of days. What steps should I take to protect myself? Is there a specific vaccine that's recommended?

I've been dealing with vitamin D and B12 deficiencies for about a month now and it's causing me some issues. I've noticed that I don't have much of an appetite and Im having trouble with digestion, like my motions aren't normal. I also feel really tired and my joints are aching. What could be causing all these symptoms, and what should I do about it?

Considering your Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, lack of appetite, digestion issues, tiredness, and joint pain, consult your doctor about taking supplements, and also focus on dietary changes, such as incorporating Vitamin D-rich foods like fortified dairy products, mushrooms, and fatty fish, and Vitamin B12-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and plant-based milk, while also addressing digestive issues through probiotics, fiber-rich foods, and adequate hydration.

I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my rib, kind of towards the end of one rib. It's been there for a few weeks now. It doesn't bother me when I'm breathing, but I notice it more when I touch it or if I'm moving around a lot at work. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I've started taking Lariago DS and took 2 tablets at 2 PM. Then, around 4:30 PM, I suddenly developed a fever hitting 102. So I took some paracetamol. Can you tell me if it's okay to mix paracetamol with Lariago DS? Really looking forward to your advice.

Yes you can take no problem.
