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'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid at the same time, and my platelet count is at 1.9 lakh. I've tested positive for antigen NS1 and had a positive Widal test. Should I be worried about this and consider getting hospitalized, or is it something I can manage at home?

I've been dealing with viral fever-like symptoms for the last three days and even after getting three injections and taking some large tablets from my doctor, there's been no major improvement. I'm feeling really heavy, off-balance, experiencing vomiting and gas in my stomach. I'm starting to worry if my doctor is just in it for the money. Can someone genuinely help me out? I'm getting really impatient with all this discomfort.
