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 friend accidentally gave me a duralast 30mg tablet and I took it without realizing. I'm concerned about any potential side effects or reactions I might have. Could something happen to me because of this? Please, I need some advice quickly.
Duralast 30 mg contains **dapoxetine**, typically used for specific conditions like premature ejaculation. Taking one tablet accidentally is unlikely to cause serious harm but may lead to mild side effects like nausea, dizziness, or headache. Stay hydrated, monitor yourself, and consult a doctor if you feel unwell.

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.
