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 dealing with a cold, fever, and a throat infection right now. My fever is pretty mild, so I'm wondering if it's alright to take Sinarest along with Paracetamol Dolo. What do you think?

I've been experiencing this weird internal fever sensation every evening and I feel super uncomfortable. And in the mornings, I wake up feeling really weak. It's been happening every day for the last 15 days. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm a bit concerned because my vaccinated dog bit me, and I started bleeding. I got my anti-rabies shot about 15 hours later, but the doctor gave me the injection on my butt. Some people are saying it should've been given on the shoulders instead. Does this mean my vaccination might not work, or should I be worried about it?

No need to worry, giving injection to the muscle is important let it be shoulder or butt.
