I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.

I've been dealing with some lingering symptoms after testing negative for COVID. It's been 26 days since I initially tested positive, but I'm still experiencing a mild fever, mild cough, and body aches. I noticed my CRP levels are at 4.4, which is double what they were before I had COVID. I'm just wondering, what should I do about this?

I'm having this sharp pain in my right chest just below my breast for the past few days. It tends to get worse when I'm bending or making movements that involve that area, and sometimes I even feel it when I'm breathing heavily. I'm really worrieddo you think this could be something serious?

I'm a 30-year-old guy and I've been dealing with this weird recurring fever thing for the past couple of years. Basically, every month or two I start feeling feverishsometimes there's a bit of a cold and a headache along with it. The fever isn't super high but it goes away with anti-pyretics after 4 to 6 days. At first, I thought it might be allergies but that doesnt seem to be the case. I've been to quite a few doctors and done tons of tests, but they just treat the fever and tell me there's nothing wrong. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do next. Could it be something thats just not showing up in the usual tests?
