I'm stationed in Okinawa with the Air Force and have developed laryngitis, which I suspect is due to mold allergies. I'm taking decongestants, wearing a face mask, and have almost lost my voice. I'm 71 years old, had a heavy-duty penicillin shot, and a left shoulder replacement in March. What should I do to manage this condition and should I see a specialist?

I sliced the tip of my finger on a mandolin. Do I need to go to urgent care? It has stopped bleeding and I can't see how it could take stitches.

I have hearing loss that has happened fairly quickly and when I talk it sounds like I am in a barrel/tunnel. I have no sinus problems, just fullness in the ear that never goes away. I do have hearing aids that help very little. I am very concerned. I have been dealing with this for over a year and have moderately high blood pressure controlled by medication, low thyroid, but otherwise fairly healthy. What should I do?

Last week, I was rushed to the emergency room due to dangerously low blood pressure, accompanied by major diarrhea that started dark and then became clear, and vomiting that started clear and then became foamy and white. I also experienced pressure in my eyes and forehead. Despite receiving 4 IVs, my condition did not improve, so they gave me a blood pressure monitor and sent me home. I am a wounded veteran with multiple injuries, high blood pressure, and type II diabetes. I am still experiencing diarrhea and my blood pressure remains low. They conducted several blood tests and stool samples, which indicated a stomach virus. Can you provide more insight into my condition?

I accidentally took my dog's Apoquel this morning. I took 1/2 of a 16mg pill. I am 60 years old and am not having any symptoms, but I just took it. I am taking losartan and generic relation. What medications do you take daily? Are you allergic to any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?
