I'm experiencing some pain on the left side of my lower rib cage, especially when I breathe. It just came on suddenly while I was sleeping in the evening and I'm a bit worried about what might be causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The sudden onset of left lower rib cage pain when breathing may indicate costochondritis, pneumothorax, pleurisy, or muscle strain; however, it's essential to consult a doctor promptly to rule out any underlying serious conditions, especially if the pain worsens, is severe, or accompanied by difficulty breathing, cough, or fever.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my WBC count came back at 11.6 this time, and last month it was 9.4. I had a slight cough when they did my blood work. Could that be causing the increase? Should I be worried about this?
A WBC count of 11.6 is slightly elevated, but it may not be a cause for concern, especially if you were experiencing a cough at the time of the test. Infections or even mild illnesses like a cough can temporarily raise your WBC count. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you're concerned.

I'm dealing with a viral fever and I'm already on medication. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk or if I should avoid it for now. Is milk a good idea when I'm sick?
Yes, you can drink milk during a fever; it provides nutrition and energy. However, if it upsets your stomach or increases mucus, opt for lighter alternatives like soups or warm water. Always stay hydrated and rest well.
