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 really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

continue the medicine, no need to consult a doctor

I'm having a sore throat and a dry cough pretty much all the time, especially when I'm outside and come into contact with dust or after eating hot foods. Now, on top of that, I'm dealing with daily constipation and back pain. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's starting to bother me. Any idea what's causing this or how I can get some relief?

I'm a bit confused because my doctor prescribed me Nurokind 1500 mg tablets, but the pharmacy gave me Nurokind OD tablets instead. Are these the same thing? And how exactly should I be taking these Nurokind OD tablets? Should I just swallow them?

Nurokind 1500 mg and Nurokind OD are similar, containing Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), but with different formulations; Nurokind OD is designed for once-daily dosing, typically with a higher strength (e.g., 2500-3000 mcg), and should be swallowed whole with water, once daily, at the same time.
