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 curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again. Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?

I've heard some people say that drinking alcohol in moderation can be good for your health, but others argue that even a little bit isn't beneficial at all. I'm feeling a bit confused about this and would love to get some clarity. Is there any truth to the idea that a small amount of alcohol can actually be good for you, or should it really be avoided completely?
Moderate alcohol consumption, defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men, may have potential health benefits, such as reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer, due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties found in some alcoholic beverages; however, excessive drinking can lead to numerous health problems, including liver disease, certain cancers, and injuries
