I've been experiencing some sharp pain in the upper left side of my chest after sneezing on a flight today. It doesn't hurt more when I take deep breaths, but it's definitely noticeable when I cough or sneeze. I'm wondering if this could be a muscle strain that'll go away on its own, or if there's a chance I've injured my lung or done some other damage. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I've been getting a fever at night after feeling cold for the past couple of days, but it seems to go away by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing it? Would love to get some insight into what's going on.

You may be experiencing viral syndrome, or developing a viral fever. If your fever is high grade (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), and associated with chills, you may need to undergo a blood test to rule out diseases like malaria and denggue. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.

I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

do regular breathing exercises

I'm a bit worried about taking Augmentin 625 because I read somewhere that if you've had jaundice in the past, you should let your doctor know. I had jaundice around 15 years back, but I've just finished dealing with chicken pox two weeks ago and now I've got this boil. Do you think it's safe for me to go ahead with Augmentin?

yes you can take
