I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my rib, kind of towards the end of one rib. It's been there for a few weeks now. It doesn't bother me when I'm breathing, but I notice it more when I touch it or if I'm moving around a lot at work. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I'm curious about deworming for adults in the 40-50 age range. Should we be doing it even if everything seems fine, or is it unnecessary? Also, would taking albendazole be safe in such cases?

I'm thinking about trying the REFOLLIUM capsules, but I'm a bit concerned about whether they're actually good for my health. Do they come with any side effects I should be aware of?

I've been feeling like my body has a heat problem recently and I'm not sure what to do about it. Can someone give me some advice or suggestions on how to manage this?

My body has heat problem. To reduce body heat, you can try taking Tab. Paracetamol 500mg twice a day after meals. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, wear loose and breathable clothing, and avoid spicy and oily foods. Additionally, you can try applying a cool compress to your forehead and neck to help lower your body temperature.
