I've been having this pain in the ribs on the lower side of my chest for the past couple of days, plus my neck and shoulders are aching. There's no trouble when I breathe, and I'm not overweight. I make sure to exercise and walk every day. What do you think might be going on?

View allI've been feeling warm lately but don't have a fever. I checked my temperature three times, and it has been between 98 and 98.6 degrees. My throat feels a bit irritated, but there's no coughing. What should I do about this?
Given your symptoms of feeling warm without a fever, throat irritation, and no cough, consider the following steps: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and rest to help your body recover; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a general physician for a proper evaluation and guidance, as it's possible you may be experiencing early signs of a viral or bacterial infection.

I've been dealing with viral fever-like symptoms for the last three days and even after getting three injections and taking some large tablets from my doctor, there's been no major improvement. I'm feeling really heavy, off-balance, experiencing vomiting and gas in my stomach. I'm starting to worry if my doctor is just in it for the money. Can someone genuinely help me out? I'm getting really impatient with all this discomfort.

I'm really struggling with a dry cough and it's quite annoying. Are there any effective cough syrups you could recommend to help with this? I've tried a couple from the pharmacy but haven't had much luck, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
For dry cough, you can try using Delsym (dextromethorphan) syrup. The recommended dosage for adults is 10 mL every 12 hours. Another option is Robitussin Dry Cough (dextromethorphan) syrup, with a recommended dosage of 10 mL every 4 hours. Always follow the instructions on the label and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
