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.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit tablets and general multivitamin tablets. Which one would you recommend I take to boost my immunity? Also, is there a best time of day to take them for someone who's generally healthy?
For a normal person looking to boost immunity, both Zincovit and a multivitamin tablet can be beneficial. The best time to take these supplements is usually after meals to enhance absorption. Consistency in taking the supplements daily is key to seeing the benefits in the long run. Remember, supplements should not be a substitute for a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. If you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
