I've been experiencing this sharp pain on my right side just below my rib cage. It feels like a pinching sensation, especially when I take a deep breath. A couple of days ago, the same area was really itchy, but it felt like it was deep in my lungs. I can't figure out what's going on because I don't have any other symptoms like fever or body pain. I did have a cough and cold a few days ago though. Could this be something serious? What might be causing this?

I'm really worried because I've had a high fever with shivering for two days now. The fever keeps coming and going, but my feet are extremely cold. I've taken dolo 650 and norflox, but now I'm feeling nauseous since this morning. All I've eaten is some bread and milk. On top of that, I'm dealing with a cold and really bad body pain. What should I do?

You may be experiencing a viral infection. To help with your symptoms, I recommend taking Tab. Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain. You can take one tablet every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, for nausea, you can take Tab. Ondansetron 4mg. It can be taken twice a day to help with nausea. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm just wondering, how often should I take D-Cold Total in a day? I'm feeling a bit under the weather and not sure what's safe. Could you guide me on this?

You can take four times a day maximum, depending upon the severity of symptoms.

Could you suggest a good cough syrup? I've had this dry cough since this morning and it's quite uncomfortable. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
