If there was a blood clot in the lower leg (where the purple on the diagram is), there would be foot swelling, right? The area just above my left ankle (area in red) is swollen 1 cm larger on the left than the right and I’m having a stinging aching feeling in that area but no redness and the pain doesn’t get worse when I flex my foot. That’s likely not a blood clot, correct? Thank you.

I mistakenly took my dog's Apoquel 16mg pill and immediately vomited at least 4 times within 5 minutes. I didn't see the pill in the vomit, so I'm unsure if it dissolved quickly. I take other medications for diabetes (Metformin and Jardiance), as well as Valsartan, Indapamide, Norvasc, and Carvedilol. I'm a female with a history of scleritis and an allergy to sulfa. Should I be concerned about the single dose of Apoquel, and what should I do now?

I think I might be experiencing histamine issues due to mold in my apartment. I cleaned up the visible mold but have been experiencing widespread itching and insomnia since then. Can I use these symptoms as a 'barometer' to determine if there is still mold present, or could there be another reason for my ongoing symptoms?

Had a stroke in November 2020 and I have debilitating numbness in my left thigh. The numbness has never gone away since the stroke and sometimes varies in intensity. I don’t have insurance and will be paying out-of-pocket. What are the available treatments for this condition?

I had unprotected sex and started my period the day after. Could I still get pregnant? My period was different from usual: it came earlier, had lighter bleeding, and lasted longer. I took Plan B the next day, but I'm still worried.
