I'm a bit concerned because I've been feeling some slight pain in my lower left rib area for the past 10 days. It's mostly noticeable when I lie down on my bed for a few seconds. It doesn't feel like the rib bones themselves are hurting, but more like something underneath or nearby them. I've never smoked and haven't had any lung issues in the past, but I did have COVID about a year ago. Do you think this could be something related to my lungs or heart?

I've had this lymph node that got swollen after a fever a couple of years ago, and I used to press it a lot back then. I just recently got tested for HIV and VDRL, both came back negative, and I feel good overall, like my weight's normal and all. Do you think the swelling could be from pressing it too much back then, or could there be something else going on that's more serious?

I'm curious if Buscopan can help with reducing body temperature. Would love to know more about this.

Buscogast, primarily containing Hyoscine Butylbromide, is designed to relieve muscle spasms and cramps in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, but it doesn't directly affect body temperature. Its mechanism of action focuses on relaxing smooth muscles and suppressing secretions, which doesn't inherently influence body temperature regulation.

I'm feeling really off with sweating and shivering, and it's like I can't control it. Then out of nowhere, I really need to go to the bathroom. My forehead feels like it's under a lot of pressure and I'm having difficulty breathing through my nose because it's all clogged up. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can get rid of these symptoms?
