I got hit in the ribs during a fight, and it's been really painful when I laugh, take a deep breath, or even when I cough. I originally thought it might be a broken rib, but it surprisingly doesn't hurt when I touch it or move my torso around. It's been hurting for four days without any sign of getting better; if anything, it feels like it's getting worse. Do you think this could be a serious problem? Should I consider seeing a doctor?

View allI'm really worried because my flatmate accidentally took sorbitrate instead of her prescribed medicine for a UTI. She's only 22 and is now feeling dizzy. The sorbitrate she took was actually meant for her late grandfather. We're in Delhi North Campus and I'm not sure what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to handle this situation and what steps we should take to ensure she's okay?

I'm really worried because he's having neck and ear pain, and now his heart rate is up to 118, and his BP's at 13593. Plus, he's been dealing with a cold and cough since yesterday. Should I be concerned about these symptoms happening all together?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to an upper respiratory tract infection. To address your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen for pain relief and a decongestant like pseudoephedrine for your cold symptoms. Additionally, you can use a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. For your cough, you can try a cough syrup containing dextromethorphan. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
