I came home from a business trip a week ago and started coughing that night. The cough has worsened, and I've developed cold symptoms and occasional wheezing. I'm concerned it might be bronchitis. I'm flying out of town again on Saturday and wondering if there's anything specific I should take to deal with the flight. I've been taking Mucinex, drinking lots of water and decaffeinated tea, and sleeping in a recliner. My coughing has been productive. What should I do?

David's psychiatrist has been on vacation. We have an appointment tomorrow, but the last three weeks he has been worse. My husband has been very paranoid and anxious. He actually quit taking Xanax because he believes someone tampered with the pills. I don't know who to turn to. What doctor can evaluate him?

I have dietary restrictions and would like to know how to ensure that I can have meals I can eat. I cannot have dairy, soy, rice, coconut, or gluten. I can have fruits, vegetables sautéed in virgin olive oil, and meats cooked on canola or butter. I'm 62 and I'm asking for buffets and restaurants.

I accidentally took my morning medications (Glipizide 2 tabs, Metformin) instead of my bedtime meds. I take Lisinopril, Glipizide, Metformin, and Wellbutrin in the morning, Metformin at dinner, and Wellbutrin, Pravastatin, and Hydroxyzine at bedtime. I am a 59-year-old female with no symptoms. What should I do?

Over the past few weeks, I've had an odd sweet taste in my mouth that persists even after brushing my teeth and gargling Listerine. What could be causing this?

I had an IV drip in my right arm two weeks ago due to Salmonella ingestion. Two days after leaving the ER, I developed pain in that arm about two inches from the IV point. The pain extends from the origination point all the way to my wrist and follows a tendon, nerve, or vein path. The pain is concentrated in the specific tissue only and does not extend beyond that. It feels like a bruise all along the path of that specific tendon. There is no discoloring of skin or swelling; just a dull pain. What could this be?
