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 worried because I've had a throat infection and fever since Sunday morning, which began two days after I went swimming. I'm also experiencing night sweats and a blocked throat when I wake up. I started taking Combiflam on Monday morning, but it's Tuesday night now, and I'm still not feeling any better. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about? Should I be doing anything else to help with these symptoms?

I'm not sure what's going on with me today. After having chicken, curd, and veg pulav for lunch, I suddenly got super sleepy and tired. I tried to nap, but it wasn't great sleep. Now Im dealing with body aches, a headache, shivering, and chills. My body feels a little warm, but thankfully there's no nausea or stomach ache. Do you have any advice on how to feel better and get my energy back? Id really appreciate some detailed insights.

First thing is eat well, eat after getting hungry. Chew the food properly. For some day try avoiding non veg. I can understood that your body is trying hard to digest. The warmth you feel is nothing but a sign that your body works a lot. Say for eg, you are not hungry. Which states that you stomach is not ready to digest anything, it lacks enzyme for digestion at that time. When you eat heavy food that time, body tried hard to digest what you have eat. Stomach is need need to get more blood supply for more functioning. Which leads to poor blood supply to brain. Which is why many person feel sleepy after heavy food intake. Understand the digestion physiology and eat accordingly. Try taking Lemon, orange, pinapple, grape, amla soups at 12pm afternoon. It may act as an appetizer. Don't eat anything after breakfast.

I'm curious about the lymph nodes in my neck. The doctor said they're within the normal range, but I've noticed what I thought was a supraclavicular lymph node. The doctor mentioned it was actually cervical. How high up from the collarbone would a supraclavicular lymph node typically be?

Ideally thats not possible,visit ENT doctor for evaluation and cause of swelling
