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?

View allI'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with dengue fever. He's getting treatment right now, and I'm curious about how long it'll take for him to feel better. His platelet count is okay, but he's still running a high fever around 103-104. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm a bit worried and wanted to see if I can get your advice. My family doctor told me to take ivermectin even though I don't have COVID, and she suggested taking a second dose three days after the first one. She mentioned that I should do this every month. I'm not sure if it's okay to take ivermectin twice a month like this when I'm not even sick with COVID. Is this safe?
Ivermectin is typically used to treat parasitic infections, and its safety and efficacy for regular, monthly use without COVID-19 or parasitic infections are unclear; potential risks and side effects include gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, and interactions with other medications; consult a specialist or pharmacist to discuss the potential benefits and risks and determine if alternative treatments are available for your specific condition.

I'm worried because I found some tiny holes in the packet of rice and noodles and I'm thinking it might be from a rat. If I cook the rice and noodles really well, is it still safe to eat them? I'm just unsure if cooking alone would make them okay, considering the rat aspect. Can you help me figure this out?
