I have been prescribed metronidazole for my IBS. The doctor said to take it every 8 hours, which is 3 times a day. I think he mentioned 5 days, but I'm not sure. Could you confirm the duration and also explain why this medicine was given and if it can eliminate the bad bacteria causing my IBS symptoms? Additionally, should I use Nexium with metronidazole, and if so, how many hours should I keep between the two medicines?

I gave my 12-year-old daughter half a dose of Dayquil and 6 children's Tylenol. Is she going to be okay? I just read that Dayquil also contains acetaminophen.

I accidentally inserted pieces of tissue into my vagina while checking for my period. Will this cause toxic shock syndrome, and what can I do to remove the tissue if it's still inside?

I don't know how many months pregnant I am. I had unprotected sex on September 10th and thought I had a period two weeks later, but it only lasted two days. I didn't have my period in October or November, and I had protected sex on November 8th. I visited my GP in early January and was told I was 12 weeks pregnant, but I gave the wrong date of my last period. I had an ultrasound at an abortion clinic that said I was 13 weeks pregnant with a due date of July 22nd. I'm confused about who the father might be and if the ultrasound could be wrong.
