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 wondering if it's okay to smoke weed the day after getting MMR and meningococcal vaccines. If not, how long should I wait before smoking? Also, I'm planning to get varicella, Tdap, and hepatitis B vaccinations soon. Should I be extra cautious about smoking after these shots?

There is no such relation between them but its better to avoid smoking atlesst for a week

I've been having really bad pain inside my right rib cage for a few days now, and it's been so intense that I can't really sleep at night. I went to see some doctors nearby and got an X-ray of my rib, but they couldn't figure out what's causing it. There's been no injury, no vomiting, and no cough. The pain gets a lot worse whenever I inhale, sneeze, laugh, or even yawn. What could be going on?

To help relieve the pain and promote healing, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and practicing gentle stretching exercises for the rib cage muscles can also help. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

Can you tell me if it's safe to masturbate after getting vaccinated? I'm a bit worried if it might affect the vaccine's effectiveness since I read somewhere that there's no connection between these two processes. Is that true?

Masturbation does not interfere with the efficacy of the vaccination.
