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?

My wife is feeling okay most of the time, but suddenly she's getting cold, has a head pain, and sneezes a lot. Im kind of worried and not sure what to do. She took a Recofast tablet and seemed to feel better for a while. Does this sound like a common issue, or should we be looking out for something more serious?

Persistent cough and throat infection can be frustrating. Considering you've already taken Azithromycin, Montair LC, and Omnacortil, it's possible that: - The infection might be viral, requiring antiviral medication or supportive care. - The antibiotic course might not have been completed or effective. - Underlying allergies or asthma might be exacerbating symptoms. Consult your doctor to reassess your condition and adjust treatment accordingly.
