I'm a bit worried because I've had a dry cough for about a week, and now the right side of my back is swollen. I went to the doctor, and she said the swelling is from the cough and it's nothing serious. The swelling has gone down, but I'm still feeling a little pain around my right rib area. Should I be concerned about this lingering pain? Could it be something more than just from the cough?

I've been dealing with a throat infection and have a pretty bad headache. My eyes are burning too. I just wanted to ask if it's okay to use Zerodol-P for this?

I'm currently taking tablets, supplements, and multivitamins, but I'm not seeing any improvement. Can you recommend an injection that could help boost my stamina?

Instead of relying solely on multivitamin tablets, consider consulting a healthcare professional about vitamin B12 injections, which can help boost energy levels and improve stamina, especially if you have a deficiency; however, it's essential to undergo a blood test to determine the underlying cause of your fatigue and rule out any underlying medical conditions that may require specific treatment.
