View allI've been having this sharp pain in the right side of my chest, kind of around the upper chest near the ribs or maybe just below. It started yesterday morning and sometimes it feels like a stabbing sensation when I breathe. These cramps come and go all day, and I must feel them around 35 times a day. The rest of the time, there's just this discomfort. I'm getting pretty worried. What could this be, and should I do something about it?
No need to worry, consume bland diet and take adequate rest it will heal,if its becoming worse visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and I've got a worry I can't shake. I tend to poke and press my lymph nodes pretty often, like maybe 10 to 15 times a day. Could doing this make them swell up or harm them? I know I'm checking them a lot, practically every hour, but I'm just really concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?
Yes, do not unnecessary press the lymph nodes. They are the organs which filter the infections from the body. These infection causing organisms will be stored in a dormant form in the lymph nodes so pressing it unnecessary is not a good thing. Secondly, examining oneself 10-15 times is alarming, it can be OCD with hypochrondria which requires medications.

I've had a fever for the past three days, with my temperature fluctuating between 98.6 and 102. I get really cold in the evenings, probably because of the sweating, and I'm worried it's making the fever worse since I don't change my shirt soon enough. I don't have any body, joint, or muscle pain, but my nose is a bit runny and my throat hurts slightly. Could this be something serious, or is there anything specific I should do to get better quickly?
Your symptoms, including fever, sweating, chills, runny nose, and slight throat pain, suggest a possible viral upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold or flu; however, to rule out other causes like bacterial infections or pneumonia, consider consulting a doctor for a physical examination, and possibly, a rapid antigen test or chest X-ray.
