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've been feeling really unwell lately. I caught a fever from the cold weather, and to make matters worse, I ended up eating some ice cream. While I was asleep, my family turned on the cooler, and the room got way too cold. So now, I woke up with this nasty cold, a splitting headache, and my fever's just gotten worse since then. What should I do to get better?
don't take cool items

I'm really worried because my WBC count came back as 13,000 and my GP mentioned it could mean there's an infection in my blood. Do I need to get tested again? I'm scared it might be something serious like sepsis. Could you help me understand what this might mean?
An elevated WBC count can indicate an infection. _Interpretation of WBC Count_ 1. _Mild elevation_: 10,000-15,000 cellsL (your count is 13,000) 2. _Moderate elevation_: 15,000-25,000 cellsL 3. _Severe elevation_: >25,000 cellsL _Possible Causes_ 1. _Bacterial infections_: Pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or skin infections 2. _Viral infections_: Flu, common cold, or viral gastroenteritis 3. _Fungal infections_: Candidiasis or aspergillosis 4. _Other causes_: Inflammatory conditions, allergic reactions, or stress _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your GP_: Discuss your concerns and the elevated WBC count. 2. _Additional tests_: Your GP may order further tests, such as: - Blood cultures to identify the causative agent - Imaging studies (e.g., chest X-ray or ultrasound) to locate the source of infection - Other blood tests to assess inflammation or organ function 3. _Antibiotics or antifungals_: If an infection is confirmed, your GP may prescribe antibiotics or antifungals to treat the underlying cause. _Sepsis Risk_ While an elevated WBC count can indicate an infection, sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek emergency care: 1. _Severe difficulty breathing_ 2. _Chest pain or pressure_ 3. _Severe abdominal pain_ 4. _Confusion or disorientation_ 5. _Severe headache or stiff neck
