I'm really worried about my mom. She's 48 and recently started having continuous chest pain. She had a viral fever and some cough, so we initially thought it was just that, but the pain didn't go away. We went to a government hospital and the doctor there told us to do an ECG test and mentioned it was serious. But then we went to a private hospital and they said not to worry. I'm feeling confused with these mixed messages. What should I do next?

The chest pain in your mother could be due to various reasons, including cardiac issues. Since the government doctor recommended an ECG test, it is important to follow through with that recommendation to rule out any serious heart problems. If the private hospital has reassured you that there is no immediate cause for concern, it is still advisable to monitor the situation closely. In the meantime, to help alleviate the chest pain and cough, you can consider giving her a medication like Paracetamol for pain relief and Cough syrup for cough. However, it is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical advice.

I've been prescribed Biotor tablet 10 instead of Clavix and Atorlip, and my doctor mentioned it has Ecospirin in it. But when I looked it up online, it seems like it only contains atorvastatin. I'm really confused nowdoes Biotor tablet 10 actually have Ecospirin too?
No it does not contain aspirin.
