I have been in a car accident and had an MRI scan of my cervical spine. My neurosurgeon says there is just a slight bump which will heal over time, but I believe there is more to it. I am experiencing lower cervical spine back pain and dizziness when I turn my neck. I have attached MRI images showing that C3 and C4 are curved up, unlike the rest of the vertebrae. Can you review the images and provide a second opinion?

I've been experiencing a stinging or pulsating pain in the head of my penis and around the opening of the urethra, which is red and irritated. I'm concerned it might be an STD like Chlamydia, but I don't have pain while urinating. I've also noticed a white, milky substance sometimes. Could this be due to rough masturbation, or is it something more serious? If it were Chlamydia, how long could it take to cause fertility problems? I've had these symptoms for about a month now, and I've only had unprotected oral sex.

I went to bed dizzy last night and woke up dizzy this morning. I felt fine all day, but right before I went to sleep, I felt the room spinning and my heart racing. I laid on my back and fell asleep, but I woke up still dizzy. I'm a 21-year-old female with no known heart conditions and a history of ear infections. What could be causing this dizziness, and what should I do?

My 11-year-old daughter is being treated for a sinus infection with Augmentin. She has been on the meds for 72 hours and also has asthma. She is complaining of a really bad sore throat, feels like she is wheezing, and can't get the 'gunk' out of the back of her throat. She is also coughing really hard. What should I do? I have given her hot tea and Mucinex, and she had a negative strep test on Tuesday.

I started my period late while on birth control and experienced pregnancy symptoms, but all pregnancy tests were negative. I noticed my tampon had brown, red, and sticky clear discharge. What could this be?

I have a rash covering most of my body. It's pink, slightly raised, and doesn't itch. I've tried antihistamines with no effect. The rash is slightly colored flat bumps that are slightly raised, affecting my forearms, torso, thighs, and lower legs, but not my neck. There are also some marks on my scrotum and shaft of my penis, which are flat, pinky/red, and slightly shiny. The rash has emerged over the course of 3-4 days and I've had it for about 5 days in total. I have no other symptoms, no fever, and no significant past medical illnesses. I'm allergic to pollen, pine sap, some glues, and certain soaps, but this rash doesn't resemble any past allergic reactions.
