Question 1

I've been having this sharp pain on the left side, just above my rib cage, for a couple of days now. It's really bad when I sneeze or breathe too hard, and now it's even moved to my back. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I can do to ease the pain?

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've been taking paracetamol every 5 hours like they told me, but it's the third day now and I still don't see any improvement in my dengue fever symptoms. Could you suggest anything else I might try to get this under control?

Question 3
