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.

View allI've been dealing with a lot of strange symptoms lately and I'm getting really worried about whether this might be omicron. So it all started with a sore throat a couple of weeks ago, which went away with medicine, but then I got a dry cough right after. The cough stopped, but since then, I've had this crazy muscle pain all over my body. I switched doctors and did a CBC test; the results showed my WBC and platelets were a bit high. The new doctor gave me amoxicillin, pacimol, and zecal active. The body pain faded, but now I have a cold and a lot of wet coughing. I skipped pacimol once, and that muscle pain is back with a vengeance. I haven't done a test yet because my exams are coming up and I'm always on the move in Mumbai local trains, although I wear a double mask and I'm fully vaccinated. Still, could this be omicron? Should I just take something like limcee, steam, or pcm at home? What steps should I follow to get better?
It's possible that you have a viral infection (possibly Omicron or another strain of flu), but you should ideally get tested to confirm. At-home measures such as rest, hydration, steam inhalation, and PCM can help manage your symptoms. Keep your doctor updated if symptoms persist or worsen. Lastly, double masking and social distancing are important, especially since you're traveling in crowded areas. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult your doctor if you're unsure about any medications or treatments.

Can I safely continue taking Vizylac Rich twice a day, one in the morning and one at night, for the rest of my life? I've been using this for a month now and I feel stronger, but I'm worried about any long-term effects.
You may feel strong, as it eliminates diarrhoea with the help of the good bacteria .. Until otherwise, prescribed by a doctor., kindly dont consume any medication on ur own, for life long..

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
