Why would my temperature be low? It is between 94.6 and 96.9. I am a type 2 diabetic, on thyroid medication, diabetic medication, blood pressure medication, and cholesterol medication. I just got over malaria that I got from being in Uganda, Africa. I did take mefloquine while on this trip. I had a fever during the malaria then when it went down is when I noticed that my temp was so low. It has been 3 weeks now and I have checked it off and on during the day. I am still not feeling myself and am very tired. Could the low temp be from the malaria?

I have a cold and flu that is almost over, but I still have a runny nose and both ears are blocked with a little fluid behind my eardrum. My eustachian tube is blocked, and the doctor said it could take 1-3 months for the fluid to drain. Will my ears stay blocked for 1-3 months, or will they get better sooner? If the medications don't work, should I ask for antibiotics, as they helped a lot last time? How long should I wait before seeing a doctor again if there's no improvement?

I have had severe diarrhea for the last 4 days, with bowel movements occurring at least 7+ times a day. There is no pain, but a restless feeling in my bowels. I'm afraid to venture too far from a bathroom. How can I stop the diarrhea? I've been using a home remedy of boiling rice until the water turns milky and drinking it, but it hasn't worked this time. I've lost a few pounds during these last few days.

I am 51 years old and experienced sudden knee pain in August 2007, which has since affected both knees, causing stiffness, pain, and difficulty with certain movements. The doctor advised non-weight bearing exercises, weight loss, and vitamins, but no x-rays or MRIs were ordered. What could be the cause of my knee issues?
