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 really concerned about my father's health because for the past two or three days, he's been feeling 'komppan' in his entire body during the afternoons into the evenings. We're trying to understand what kind of issue this might be and which type of specialist we should see about it. We're based in Greater Noida NCR. Do you think we need to get a complete body health checkup done? Any advice would be appreciated.
The symptoms you described, where your father experiences generalized body aching (komppan) in the afternoons and evenings, could be indicative of various conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or even a viral infection; consider consulting a General Physician or an Orthopedician in Greater Noida (NCR) for an initial evaluation; a complete body health checkup may be beneficial in identifying underlying conditions, and your doctor may recommend diagnostic tests, such as blood work, X-rays, or an ECG, to determine the cause of the symptoms.

I'm having trouble sleeping before 4 am, so I've been taking melatonin. But now I've come down with a fever and took some paracetamol. Can I still take melatonin after that? Is it safe to use both?
Yes, you can take paracetamol and melatonin together. Paracetamol is safe to take for fever, and melatonin can help with sleep. Just make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each.

I'm dealing with a throat infection and my doctor suggested I take Zedocef 200. After a couple of days, I'm now experiencing a pretty bad headache that just won't go away. I tried taking Disprine today but it didn't really help. The headache seems to be focused right at the top center of my head. Could you recommend something that might help?
