I'm worried because I found some tiny holes in the packet of rice and noodles and I'm thinking it might be from a rat. If I cook the rice and noodles really well, is it still safe to eat them? I'm just unsure if cooking alone would make them okay, considering the rat aspect. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm feeling pain under my breast and kind of in the lower chest area since this morning. It really hurts when I touch it and even more when I try to take a deep breath. I'm worried about what it could be, but with the current situation, I'm scared to go to the hospital for an X-ray or anything like that. I had the same issue last year, and it got better after taking calcium supplements. Can you suggest what I should do now?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm a bit confused about the medication I was prescribed. Should I be taking the ifin 500 and hhlevo M before or after I eat? It's not clear on the label, and I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Would love some guidance on this.
