A few months after having a baby, I experienced numbness in one side of my lip and difficulty talking, which was diagnosed as a TIA. Yesterday, after being bitten by something, my arm swelled and I developed small bumps. After taking Benadryl, my speech briefly slowed down. Could this be just a reaction to the bite or Benadryl?

I've been experiencing itchy rashes on my hands and thighs for the past two days. The rashes don't hurt but itch a lot and spread when scratched. I had slight rashes due to summer heat a couple of years ago but no known allergies. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?

Hi Pearl, I have been struggling with my breathing a lot today. I have been sick with a viral infection and have been taking water and Panadol. Now it has turned into a nasty dry cough and making it hard to breathe. Anything I can do to help the pressure on my chest?

During a blood draw, is it common for nurses to touch the injection site after rubbing it with an alcohol swab, and does this affect the accuracy of HIV and hepatitis B/C tests if the nurse's hand is potentially contaminated?
