My mother is a three-time survivor of colon cancer, and recent tests show she is clear of cancer. However, she recently woke up with swollen neck glands, a swollen face, and swollen under-eye area. Her doctor's blood tests revealed no abnormalities, and she has no fever, pain, or tenderness. What else could we look at?

I was diagnosed with ADD as a child 12 years ago by the school psychologist and it's affecting me now. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to discuss medication. Will I have to go through more testing, or can the doctor start me on medication based on my past diagnosis?

I have been experiencing unusual stomach sensations intermittently for 3 weeks, mostly in the afternoon or evening, along with recent breast soreness and weepiness. My period was 4 days late and lighter than usual, but I still had bad cramps. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests over the course of the month, all of which were negative. Should I consider these as PMS symptoms, or could there be another cause?

I became pregnant in 2003 with my daughter after two one-night stands. The first encounter involved a condom that was not used properly, and the second encounter involved sex without a condom after the condom broke. I took the morning-after pill three days later. My daughter is white, so I can rule out the black man as her father. Which man is most likely to be her real dad, and can I ever know for sure?

My daughter found household cleaning wipes behind the toilet and used them as toilet wipes. She is just under three years old. I noticed a rash down there the next day. She was already almost asleep, so I put hydrocortisone on it and put her to bed. I am worried if she will be okay, if I need to take her to the ER, when to know if it has gotten more serious, if there is an over-the-counter treatment, and what symptoms of shock to look for in a 3-year-old.

What are the risks and chances of a successful full-term delivery with a Copper-T IUD (CuT) during pregnancy, and what is the advisability of removing the device in the early first trimester without disrupting the pregnancy?
