For three days now, I have been unable to hear out of my left ear. I have tried removing wax with Q-tips and a Visine wax removal product, but my ear is still stopped up. What should I do next? Should I expect this to resolve itself or should I go see a doctor? It's really annoying.

My boyfriend and I were fooling around and I was giving him oral. I have a tongue ring, and I stuck my tongue a little in his hole. It's been 10 days since and his hole is sore now when he touches it. What's wrong with his penis? It's not red, it's not swollen.

I have Trichomoniasis and I was wondering if it's possible that my boyfriend of 6 years cheated on me, or if I could have gotten this infection from partners he was with before we started dating. I have only had one sex partner in my life, who is my boyfriend. Additionally, I have a 2-week-old daughter with thrush on her tongue, and I'm concerned if this infection could affect her or if she could have gotten it from me during vaginal birth. Lastly, I took the medication to treat the infection, but I'm wondering if it typically goes away completely or if it can come back even if my boyfriend is treated as well.

I have had an echocardiogram and EKG to rule out heart palpitations. I now keep having blood pressure readings of 130/90 and 150/95. The doctor wants me to take toprol for a few weeks. I am also on topamax for migraines. My symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, pins and needles in feet and hands (side effects of topamax), headaches, stomach aches, some loose stools but I also have IBS, and I am very anxious. The doctor thinks these are symptoms of anxiety. I also went to the ER for a full chest x-ray and blood work for the heart, which all came back normal. I am worried because my symptoms include high blood pressure, which is new, and I do not feel well. I weigh 110 pounds, am 5'4", exercise 4-5 days a week, and am a 39-year-old woman with three boys. Can stress do this much harm?

My mother is acutely confused for one week, forgetting her daughters and needing prompting to remember them. She has been repeating herself a lot for the last three years, but this is a new symptom. She had a normal MRI and is seeing a physician on Wednesday. What could be wrong?

If I have a UTI, can I get a prescription called in to my local pharmacy?
