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?

I'm a bit confused about my health situation. I took my temperature with a thermometer, and it reads 98.7. I'm worried I might have an internal fever, but Im not entirely sure. Could you tell me what the temperature range for an internal fever usually is?

Internal fever, also known as occult fever, can manifest with normal body temperature readings (98.6-99.5F or 37-37.5C) despite the presence of an underlying infection or inflammation; in such cases, other symptoms like fatigue, chills, sweating, or localized pain may be present

I'm really concerned about my sister. She was just diagnosed with dengue yesterday, and it was her first day of having a fever. The doctor prescribed pcm and pan, but her fever hasn't come down at all. Her temperature is stuck at 104.6, and her platelet count is 2 lakhs. Should I be worried? Also, any suggestions on what she can eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that might be suitable for her? She's 30 years old and currently experiencing full body pain, saying her body is burning. I'm really anxious since she hasn't eaten anything yet. Is there something I can do to help her feel better? And is it okay to give her solo again now since I gave her some at 9 pm last night?
