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 diagnosed with typhoid just a few days ago and my Widal test showed s typhi H at 1:320. I was put on ciprofloxacin and tradamol-paracetamol, and the fever's gone, but now I'm struggling with vomiting since this morning. The doctor gave me metoclopramide vominorm tablets, which helped a bit, but the vomiting kicked back in when I drank some water. Any suggestions on what I can do next? I got my blood tested today, and the result showed Widal s typhi H at 1:40. I'm in Africa, and the medical facilities here aren't great, so any advice would be helpful.
Hydration and small, frequent sips of water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) are crucial to prevent dehydration. Continue taking metoclopramide as prescribed for nausea and vomiting, but follow up with your doctor if vomiting persists. If the vomiting continues and worsens, or if you notice any serious symptoms, you may need additional medical intervention

I've been dealing with a bad sore throat and a mild fever that's been coming and going for the last three days. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to get worried. Someone mentioned trying diclomol, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Could you suggest what medicine might help with these symptoms?

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.
