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'm 24 and had typhoid fever about six months ago. Ever since, I've been feeling unusually cold, like I can't handle even a bit of cool weather, while everyone around me seems fine. Lately, I've been getting mild chest pains and sometimes, out of nowhere, I start shivering and getting goosebumps, even at normal room temperature. I feel sleepy all the time and get tired very quickly, even after light physical activity. Walking long distances has become challenging. I got married two months ago, and after the first few weeks everything was okay, but my health has been getting worse lately. I'm working but can't keep up like everyone else, and it's frustrating because even when it's not cold, I'm in a sweater and still can't shake off the chills. Why am I feeling like this, and should I be worried?

My mom tested positive for COVID five days ago. Right now, she only has a mild fever and feels weak. I attached her chest X-ray report. She's been taking favipiravir, ivermectin, azithral, doxycycline, zinc, and vitamin C. Should we keep going with this treatment, or think about switching to other medications?
