I have been feeling a bean-shaped thing in the middle of my throat for about 2 months. It doesn't hurt, and I can move it when I touch it. It hasn't gone away and I'm wondering what it might be and if it could be concerning, like HIV or something.

I took one pill of phentermine to lose weight and my vision became severely blurry. I was prescribed this medication 4 months ago but stopped taking it for a while. I took one pill 2 hours ago and now feel unwell with vision problems. I have a history of vertigo and am taking natural pills for inner ear balance. What can I drink to feel better?

My wife and I have just gone through IVF and tested positive for pregnancy. We had a scan today where she should be 8 weeks and 3 days, but the baby is measuring 7 weeks and 2 days. There is a heartbeat, but we are worried after reading about potential miscarriage or incorrect dates. Should we be worried?

I have recently found a small lump in my breast that seemed to appear overnight. The lump seems to change shape almost daily, feels like several small peas stuck together, and has reduced in size since first discovered. It feels slightly sore and is easily manipulated and moved. I am 32 years old with no history of breast cancer in my family. What could this lump be and should I be concerned?

I have been diagnosed with a boil that has healed over. It started oozing slightly and then stopped, but now it is bleeding a little. The boil doesn't hurt much and is about 1/4" thick. I was advised to use warm washcloths over the area for 20 minutes three times a day. Should I continue this treatment, and how long will it take for the boil to heal without medication?
