My daughter, 16 years old, ran a fever and threw up several times on Wednesday. She experienced stomach pain on Thursday and Friday, was nauseous on Saturday, and threw up again this morning. She has had no fever since Wednesday. The stomach pain comes and goes and feels more like gas or bloating. She has taken a few Pepto-Bismol tablets and some Dayquil and Nyquil on Wednesday. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

I have no feeling in my jaw and facial numbness on the right side, with jaw popping on the left. I also have difficulty opening my mouth and chewing solid foods. My neurology ruled out trigeminal neuralgia. What could be causing these symptoms, and is it related to my chronic sinus infection?

My left hand and forearm keep going numb and feel tired. How long have you had the numbness? Is this stable or getting worse? Any dizziness or muscle spasms? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the numbness or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I drank from a stranger's glass without thinking. Should I be worried about potential infections like herpes, given that I am 22 years old, do not take any medications, and have no known medical conditions?

I have been having trouble breathing while sleeping and staying asleep. I am currently on Lexapro and Vistaril, I am 21 years old, and have been experiencing this issue for the past few days, although it has happened occasionally in the past. I have a congested feeling and difficulty breathing through my nose when I lay down to sleep. I also wake up drooling, at random hours of the night, and have trouble getting back to sleep. I have been told I snore. I have seen a doctor before who thought it could be seasonal allergies, and I have an allergy test coming up. I am currently using Flonase and Allegra, but I'm not sure how much they are helping. I am overweight and do not smoke. I get seasonal allergies occasionally but no other respiratory conditions. There is no nasal congestion or mucus. I have noticed snoring, daytime sleepiness, and dry mouth in the morning, but not gasping.
