I'm really not that great at English, so bear with me. Anyway, about five days ago, I started feeling this chest tightness and had a lump-in-the-throat kind of feeling. I checked online and decided to drink a bottle of Smirnoff Mule vodkait works as my soda substitute. It helped a bit, though I could still feel a bit of tightness, but not as bad as before. So now, three days later, I'm feeling this discomfort in my lower left rib cage and my back, but there's no pain when I press on the area, and it disappeared after 24 hours. Right now, it's more about discomfort on the left side of my throat when I swallow, near my Adam's apple. I haven't had a fever since last week, either. Could you guide me on where I might be able to have a general check-up around the BGC or Pembo Makati area?

I'm really concerned because I've been feeling really weak and my energy levels just keep dropping day by day. It's like no matter what I do, I can't shake this constant tiredness. Sometimes it even feels like I might be running a fever, but it just comes and goes. I find myself wanting to stay in bed almost all day because I'm always so exhausted. Could these be symptoms of something more serious, or is there something I could try to get my energy back up?

I'm really worried because my 2-year-old daughter has bronchopneumonia, and the doctor recommended Zifi CV 100 for her. Now, I've been coughing for 5 days and I think I might have caught the same thing. Do you think its safe for me to take Zifi CV 200, or should I be considering something else?

No you shouldn't take anything by yourself. Get it checked out by a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. He will examine you and then suggest you accordingly. Don't self medicate. This is how antibiotic resistance develops.
