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 been feeling really unwell since yesterday with symptoms like a headache, fever, and loose motions. There's also this intense pain in my stomach, and it's making me feel really weak. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do to feel better?

For your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for headache and fever. For loose motions, you can take Loperamide 2mg. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole 20mg for stomach pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm noticing that my right chest is smaller than my left one. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and look into it further? What do you suggest I do about it?

It is not uncommon for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. However, if you notice a significant difference in size between your right and left breasts, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include hormonal therapy or surgical intervention.
