My stomach hurts and the area where my stomach meets my chest hurts a lot. I press down on it and it also hurts. I am feeling the need to vomit but the second I move it's almost gone. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

I have a DVT in my leg from a calf surgery I had in September. The doctor has me on blood thinners until the DVT goes away by itself. She recommended that I get a second opinion if I wanted to. I was wondering if she is correct and I should let my body remove the DVT itself OR should I possibly look to getting it removed. Has DVT been stable or getting worse? Has blood thinners helped at all? What's your dosage? Is there any improvement of swelling since September? Do you have any problem walking? Did you have any repeat ultrasound recently to check on the blood clot? How big is the clot? Will a hardened clot affect my circulation in the future?

My daughter has croup and experienced a severe coughing attack followed by a brief episode where she couldn't breathe, making a high-pitched, strained sound. She has since calmed down and is acting normally. Should I take her to the ER?

I have a vein blockage on my right leg below the knee. I took a pill and gave myself shots for 30 days, then switched to warfarin. I've been on warfarin for about 3 weeks, but the swelling hasn't reduced. In the mornings, the swelling is normal, but it starts to swell in the afternoons. There's no pain, and my knee moves fine. I'm currently only on warfarin. Should I be worried, and what should I do next?

My 8-year-old son has had recurrent flu episodes, including a bad flu in February, a milder cold in April, and another bad flu in May, each causing swollen glands and requiring antibiotics. He now has a fever in June, and I'm concerned about the possibility of CVID. What could be causing these recurrent flu episodes, and should I be worried about CVID?
