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.

I have a burning sensation on my left index finger, specifically on the thumb-side near the fingernail. The sensation gradually gets hot but is never really painful, lasting from 10 seconds to several minutes. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I have pain in my vagina when sitting and walking, it feels very dry and I have an abrasion-type sore that stings when I urinate. The pain gets worse after using the bathroom. What can I do to ease the pain until I can see a doctor?
