I have red dots on my underwear line, specifically in two areas at the bottom of my genital area. I had unprotected sex in December. Additionally, I have been experiencing a bad chill without goosebumps, especially when I breathe out loudly. What could these symptoms indicate, and what should I do?

My stepdaughter, who is 13 years old, has had a rash for about 9 months. The rash is on the back of her arm, round, and resembles a bull's eye with red on the outside and normal skin in the center. Sometimes she gets small blisters around it. There used to be just one, but now there is another on her back. She claims her mom took her to the doctor, who said if it clears up, it's fine. I am concerned because her mother has herpes, and I fear it could be an infectious rash related to herpes. Additionally, my husband had a liver transplant in 2009 and could be at risk if it is something serious. What could this rash be, and what should we do?

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.

Is there any over-the-counter option for carisoprodol (Soma) or any other medication that can help relax muscles for sleep, given that I have muscle spasms?
