I've noticed this painful lump in my left armpit for the last two days. It's small, not something you can really see from the outside, but you can definitely feel it when you press down. There's some mild pain when I do that. Could it be something serious?

Its possible that the lump in your armpit could be a swollen lymph node or a minor cyst, which are usually not serious. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me a bit worried. My palms and the soles of my feet feel cold but warm at the same time, and I've got this annoying body ache. Also, my eyes are warm and watery, and this has been happening since yesterday. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be concerned?

You can take a tab. Zerodol-p twice a day after food for 3 days. Tab. Monticope-a twice a day after food for 2 days. Drink plenty of fluids. If it still persists, get it checked out.

Is it healthy to sleep naked?

Although it is not scientifically proven, sleeping naked may help you to fall asleep faster and also helps in having better quality of sleep. Good quality of sleep inturn keeps skin healthy, reduces stress. Tight fitting or sweaty underwear can increase vaginal fungal infections which may be avoided by sleeping naked.
