I have a cold and my chest feels tight. I've been experiencing this for 3 days, and I think I'm just stuffed up, but my chest feels like someone is sitting on it. I'm pregnant and take Unisom at bedtime for morning sickness. Can I still take Benadryl? I'm also concerned about eating meat that might not be fully cooked and about my diet affecting my baby's development. I'm not getting enough calories and food doesn't sound appealing due to queasiness. What should I do?

I had an unnecessary abdominal/pelvic CT scan several years ago due to a misdiagnosis, and I'm concerned about the long-term health effects of the radiation exposure. I've read that the radiation from such a scan is equivalent to several years of background radiation and multiple chest x-rays. I'm worried about my chances of developing cancer from this high radiation dose. Can you provide information on the potential risks associated with this type of CT scan and whether there is any evidence of increased cancer rates in people who have had similar scans?

I have had a temperature of 102°F for 2 days, dizziness when standing, a dry, hacking cough that extends from below the breast bone to behind the back, muscle aches, a runny nose, and constant chills and sweating. I am very healthy and active, but this is day 3 and I'm not getting better. I have no health insurance. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?
