I've got this sudden sharp pain in my left rib when I breathe in, and it started while I was just sitting at my desk at work. It's been half a day, and it hasn't gone away. I can't take a full deep breath. Do you think this will just go away on its own, or should I be worried?

I took Tesco Recovery Powder for an upset stomach but forgot it has paracetamol in it. Earlier I had a cocodamol tablet for post-surgery pain about 2-3 hours before. That's 500mg paracetamol around 7:45pm and then 1000mg at 10:15pm. I didn't go over the daily limit but could this combo cause any harm?

To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.

I'm on my 13th day without being able to smell or taste anything, and my nose is still blocked. I tested positive for COVID ten days ago and haven't had symptoms like fever or breathlessness since day one. I've been taking Azithromycin 500 for five days, along with Montek, Limcee, Zincovit, and vitamin D weekly. I'm feeling just like I did on day onenothing's improved or gotten worse. A doctor suggested I take Ivermectol once daily for three days and Doxy 1 LDR twice a day for five days. Should I go ahead with this? My oxygen levels are between 97 and 99. What do you think?

I recently had a massage, and during it, I ended up sucking on the masseuse's nipple. There wasn't any milk or anything, but I'm worried. Is there any health risk involved with doing that?

It's important to maintain boundaries and respect during any physical interaction, including massages. While nipple sucking itself doesn't typically pose health risks, it can be uncomfortable for the other person and may lead to misunderstandings. It's essential to ensure all actions are consensual and appropriate for both parties. If you have concerns, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider.
