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 a sore throat and this strange sensation between my chest. It was really intense when it first showed up, but then the next day, I felt completely fine. Now that sore throat is back, and my chest feels tight again. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do about it?

I'm experiencing some pain under my left underarm, and it's really uncomfortable, especially when I sneeze or cough. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could it be something serious, or is it maybe just a muscle strain? What should I do?
