I've been having this sharp pain on the left side, just above my rib cage, for a couple of days now. It's really bad when I sneeze or breathe too hard, and now it's even moved to my back. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I can do to ease the pain?

The sharp pains on the left side above the rib cage, exacerbated by sneezing or breathing heavily, and radiating to the back, could be indicative of a musculoskeletal issue, such as intercostal muscle strain or costochondritis, or potentially a gastrointestinal problem consult md medicine

View allA rat bit me last week and I already got a TT injection along with an anti-rabies shot. I'm wondering if I should go for the other two anti-rabies injections or if I'm good since I'm not really feeling any pain where the scratch is. Is there another step I should be taking here?
Yes, Tryptomer (Amitriptyline) can cause heartburn as a side effect, especially when taken in the evening. Other possible gastrointestinal side effects of Tryptomer include nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. To alleviate nighttime heartburn, consider taking Tryptomer in the morning or with food. You can also try antacids or acid reducers, like ranitidine, to help manage heartburn symptoms. Consult your doctor or prescribing physician to discuss alternative dosing schedules or medications. They can help you balance the benefits of Tryptomer with its side effects.

I've been dealing with this constant headache and loose motion for the past 24 hours. The headache's not as bad as it was initially, but it's still there. Should I be concerned or is this just a temporary thing?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a tough combination of symptoms. I'm glad the headache is easing, but persistent loose motions can be draining. It might help to stay hydrated and rest, and if it continues, a doctors advice could be beneficial.

I've had a cough and cold for a week now and my complete blood profile came back normal, but my ESR is 75mm. I haven't had any fever, body pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Currently, I'm on amoxyclav and taking ascoryl syrup. Do you think I need any more medication or any other tests? I'm a bit worried.
