My recent x-ray showed minimal bilateral subsegmental atelectasis and trace effusion, with low lung volumes. I had the x-ray due to symptoms of a bowel obstruction, but the chest x-ray report mentioned 'Clinical Information: Pneumonia'. Do I need to follow up on this, and should I see my primary doctor's replacement while he is out of town?

I have been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, stuffy nose, dizziness, ear fullness, tingling sensation in the throat leading to coughing, and watery eyes for a week. I am currently taking AllegraD, Flonase, a steroid nose drop (azelastine), Singulair, and Zofran, but they do not seem to be helping. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I had my tonsils removed 10 years ago due to a blood clot on one of them. Recently, I've been sick with allergies/sinus infection and felt something in the back of my throat similar to the blood clot sensation. There is a red, pea-sized ball where my tonsil used to be. Could this be due to excessive coughing, and should I be concerned about it being another blood clot?

I woke up with a slight runny nose and chest congestion. Now, I think my neck is swelling and my right shoulder hurts. What's going on?

My lower lip started twitching 2 days ago. I'm 37 weeks pregnant. Is this a normal thing, and will it go away on its own?
