Hi doc, I just had some yoghurt with fruit topping and some small pieces of granola. I feel like a small piece has gone down the wrong way. Can that be dangerous, or do you think I'll be okay?

I am looking to speak to an MRO or an individual familiar with the review process for positive drug screenings. I have been suffering from a severe URI for the past 10 days, including a very sore throat and severe coughing fits that have caused vomiting and breathlessness. On days 7 and 8, I took my husband's Guaiatussin AC syrup during coughing fits. On day 9, I was drug tested for a new position at work, and on day 10, I was informed that my drug test came back positive for codeine. I am in a line of work where drug abuse has serious consequences, and I am extremely worried about what this positive drug screen means for my professional reputation and my job.

My urine test results came back negative for bladder and kidney infections. The doctor's office showed blood and protein in the urine, but the lab showed no growth. Why would blood and protein be in my urine, and what could be the cause of my flank pain?

Hello, I have a 23-year-old son who has been stung by a wasp and is having an unexpected reaction. Last summer, he was stung and experienced significant swelling, pain, itching, and body aches, which were treated with pain medication, antihistamines, and antibiotics. This year, he has been stung again and is experiencing similar symptoms, including swelling, redness, itching, tiredness, and feeling worse overall. He has never had reactions like these as a child. Do you think this may turn into a full-blown allergy that could be anaphylactic? Should he carry Benadryl all summer or should we look into an EpiPen?
