At daycare, my daughter had pimples on her feet that were thought to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. We quarantined her and applied a homeopathic ointment. All pimples dried up into scabs without spreading to her mouth, face, or hands, and she never had a fever. Was this really hand, foot, and mouth disease?

I had a period in September (15-18th) with light bleeding when I wiped, and another period in October (supposed to be 11-14th) with similar light bleeding, saved incorrectly on my app. I experienced nausea, sensitivity, tiredness, and regular headaches between periods, and now I'm having a headache and slight cramping during this supposed period. What could be the cause of this irregular bleeding and symptoms?

I live in Los Angeles, CA, where there has been an outbreak of hepatitis A. I had all my vaccinations as a child and am now 27 years old. How can I ensure my health and prevent infection during this outbreak? Are additional vaccinations necessary, and what precautions should I take in terms of food, water, and interactions with others?

I am 52 years old, obese, and have type 2 diabetes. I recently experienced tender breasts, followed by menstrual-like cramping and bleeding, despite not having a menstrual cycle in a couple of years. I had a clear pap smear last year and have never had irregular cycles. I am also experiencing unexplained rib pain and vaginal irritation after urination. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?

Can you cough so hard that you may cough up some blood, especially if you've been dealing with a cough since the fires last week and have a history of COPD?
