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 got my first vaccine shot on May 5th. I noticed some swelling at the injection site right away, and the pain was manageable for four days. But today, my entire arm is really hurting, and it's become unbearable. I resumed taking my alprazolam today - could this pain be because of that?

My sister's been dealing with a dry cough for the last couple of days, and she's been taking Benadryl dry cough syrup, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Should we try something else, or do you think we should give the syrup more time to work? Is there anything else we can do to ease her discomfort?
Continue to take Benadryl, and consider starting a course of antibiotics if her cough is accompanied with fever. You may also try some antihistamines to help with any allergic component of her symptoms.
