I am a nervous flyer and considering taking Xanax or Ativan for a 5-hour flight. I currently take Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo birth control pills. Are there any interactions between these medications, and will they affect the effectiveness of my birth control? Which medication is preferred, and what side effects should I be aware of?

My father is in the hospital with gangrene. They amputated his left leg above the knee, and he now has it in his blood system. They are not giving him antibiotics, and he hasn't been responsive. He is in a long-term care facility called Kindred in Louisville. We want to get him to an acute hospital to save his life, but they are not cooperating. What should I do?

I was on the pill and antibiotics, had unprotected sex, and now I'm experiencing symptoms like nausea, mood swings, and spotting. Is it the pills acting up or messing with my hormones?

I am 20 days late for my period, and I've taken 2 pregnancy tests which were both negative. Could I still be pregnant? I am also nursing my 2-year-old, could this affect my period?

I've been sick for a couple of days and now it feels like there's a lump in my throat that causes hiccups and a gag reflex, especially when I swallow. I threw up two days ago and had massive heartburn, followed by this lump feeling. What could this be, and what can I do to alleviate it?
