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 dealing with a frequent dry cough and I'm always thirsty. Drinking water helps a bit with my throat irritation, but I'm worried. I have hypertension and diabetes, so I'm wondering if these symptoms are related to my existing conditions. What should I do about this?

That could be due to allergy,identify the triggering factor and try to avoid it also consume balanced diet with fruits and vegetables.

I'm suddenly experiencing chills in the afternoons and at night for the past two days, but I don't have a fever. My diet and activities are normal, except when the shivering hits; it lasts about fifteen minutes. What medication can I take today? I'm planning to see a doctor tomorrow. What should I do in the meantime?

provide warm temperatures

I was eating some leftover pizza and noticed tiny bugs crawling all over it after I had taken a bite. I read online that people say it's just extra protein, but since they were alive, I'm pretty nervous. Do you think Ill be okay?

If you are concerned about potential food contamination, it is always best to err on the side of caution. You may consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) to help with any potential allergic reactions. If you develop any symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek medical attention immediately.
