I've been feeling a weird pain in the bone area near my chest, just to the left of the breastbone. It really hurts when I press on it, and sometimes I get this sudden shock-like pain when I breathe. When I don't press it, there's usually no pain. What could be causing this?

View allI'm looking at my Widal test report, and I'm not quite sure how to understand it. It says S. Typhi O and S. Typhi H are 1:80 positive, while S. Para Typhi A and B are both negative. Does this mean my typhoid levels are high, medium, or low? Also, should I be changing anything in terms of my medication or diet and water habits?
Widal Test Report indicates a positive result for S. Typhi O and S. Typhi H, with titers of 1:80 each, suggesting a possible typhoid infection. The S.Para Typhi "AH" and S.Para Typhi "BH" results are negative, ruling out Paratyphoid infection. Since the Malaria Parasite test is negative, it confirms the absence of malaria infection. Based on the Widal Test results, the typhoid infection can be considered as moderate. Common medicines for treating typhoid include antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by a healthcare provider. In addition to medication, it is essential to focus on dietary and lifestyle changes. Patients with typhoid fever should consume a bland diet that is easy to digest, including soups, boiled vegetables, and rice. It is crucial to maintain hydration by drinking plenty of fluids such as water, coconut water, and oral rehydration solutions. Avoiding raw or undercooked food, as well as practicing good hand hygiene, can help prevent further spread of the infection. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of typhoid fever.

I ate with my hands just about 3040 seconds after using a hand sanitizer and could still smell it on my hands. The sanitizer has 70% Isopropyl Alcohol, and I read somewhere that consuming it can be harmful. My hands were dry when I ate, but I'm a bit worried if there's any risk from the sanitizer residue. Is everything okay?
too much consume it should be harmful

I'm feeling really weak these last couple of days, and it's got me worried. A while back, I was taking Neurobion Forte for low hemoglobin issues. Do you think it would be okay for me to start taking it again, maybe one dose after lunch for the next 15 days? I'm just not sure if it's the right move and would love your take on it.
Can be taken If weakness persist then visit physician
