Last year in November, I experienced irregular periods where I didn't have my period for 2 months, then it came and lasted for 6 weeks. This pattern has continued, with my period now occurring every other month and lasting 5 to 7 weeks. What could be causing this irregularity and what should I do?

My son is 16 and moderately autistic. He hasn't had a bowel movement in 5 days, which is unusual for him. We suspect he may have swallowed a foreign object, like a book cover. We've given him a stool softener for two nights. Should we give him a laxative to get his bowels moving, or is that not a good idea given the possibility of a swallowed object?

My 6-year-old son got hives or a rash all over his body about 8 days ago, and now my 9-year-old has a similar rash head to toe. I've been giving them Benadryl, and it's starting to go away. Could this be contagious, and did my 9-year-old get it from his brother? What could be causing this rash, and should I be concerned?
