I'm experiencing some pain under my left underarm, and it's really uncomfortable, especially when I sneeze or cough. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it maybe just a muscle strain? What should I do?

I'm really curious about the term "Forte" that's used in so many medicine brand names. Like, I've noticed meds called Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, and even Becozyme C Forte. They all seem to end with Forte, and I think it might mean something like "Plus" or maybe indicate a combination of ingredients. Am I on the right track here, or does it mean something else? Just trying to understand it better.
"Forte" is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "potent," but in the context of medication names, it typically indicates a stronger or higher-dose version of a medication, often a combination product, so your understanding of "Forte" being similar to "Plus" is generally correct.
