I'm a 22-year-old female who has just had a mediastinoscopy for enlarged lymph nodes in my chest. Since the surgery, I've had a low heart rate (in the low 50s) and haven't had a bowel movement. Is this normal, and what advice can you provide?

On December 9th, I experienced a sore throat on the left side with no fever, cough, or runny nose. After testing negative for strep and being treated with antibiotics without relief, the pain spread to both sides of my throat. I later had oral sex with a woman on December 1st and, after experiencing additional symptoms, was diagnosed with oral gonorrhea and treated. However, the left side of my throat and ear are still hurting. How long does it take to clear oral gonorrhea, and could there be another underlying issue such as mononucleosis?

My stomach burns all day, I can't even eat cheerios, and sometimes my throat burns. I can't stop burping. I just got my gallbladder removed two weeks ago. Should I go to the hospital?

I cut my hand with a knife 3 days ago. The cut was in the palm of the hand near the pointer finger, and the finger immediately became swollen and stiff. I went to the hospital, got a tetanus shot, and a stitch on the cut. My concern is that, even though I'm taking antibiotics, the finger is still swollen, stiff, and hurts when I try to do anything. It's weak. Could I have injured any tendon or nerve? Do I need to do anything about it? The cut is fine and already closed.
