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 accidentally took 9 Crocin tablets all at once. I'm really worried about what might happen. Can you please tell me what the possible side effects or risks might be?
Taking 9 tablets of Crocin (Paracetamol) at once can lead to an overdose of the medication. The side effects of an overdose of Crocin may include liver damage, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to liver failure. It is important to seek medical help immediately if an overdose is suspected. The usual recommended dosage of Crocin is 1-2 tablets (500mg each) every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours for adults.

Accidentally took 1200mg of ibuprofen, is that going to affect me? I weigh around 180lbs. Should I be worried about any side effects?
Taking 1200mg of ibuprofen is above the typical recommended dose (400-600mg), but for your weight, it's not likely to cause serious harm if its a one-time occurrence. However, watch for signs of stomach upset, dizziness, or any unusual symptoms. If you experience anything concerning, contact a healthcare professional right away.
