I've been having this sharp pain on the right side below my chest for the last couple of days, especially when I breathe. My blood pressure seems normal, but my pulse rate is over 100. I'm a bit worried about what could be going on. Can you help me understand what might be causing this?

I've been wondering if it's okay to take a bath an hour after eating a meal. Is that gap of one hour alright, or could it cause issues like problems with digestion?

I'm having loose motions and sour burps today, and I remember the same thing happened on Wednesday night, but I also had vomiting then. I thought it was just indigestion at the time, but since it's happening again, I'm a bit worried. Could this be some kind of stomach infection?

GIC (Glass Ionomer Cement) fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years on the biting surface of molars. Their durability depends on factors such as: - Size and location of the filling - Oral hygiene and maintenance - Chewing habits and forces Given the cost of each filling (Rs. 500), it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to extend the lifespan of your GIC fillings.
