Hello, my throat has significantly swollen due to strep throat and my tonsils almost block half of my throat. The swelling is getting worse over time, with black spots appearing in the white spots on my tonsils, and my left tonsil has started swelling as well. All of my tonsils are affected and it is extremely painful. I was prescribed amoxicillin and have been taking Tylenol and ibuprofen for the pain. What should I do?

I'm 27 and have health anxiety and stress. I've been experiencing twitches in different parts of my body, like my triceps and chest, every other day for about a month and a half. I'm concerned about these twitches and whether they could be a sign of something serious, like ALS.

I suddenly noticed my voice was hoarse and feels a little crispy. I clear my throat quite a lot. I had a clean laryngoscopy on July 6 - all normal. Is it highly likely that this throat concern is benign?

I have a bladder infection and it's midnight on a Sunday. My discomfort is increasing. I'm 32 years old, not using any medications, and have no other medical history. What can I do for immediate relief and who should I consult if it's not better by tomorrow?

I have developed tendinitis in both heels and severe head fog after taking an antibiotic from the cipro family for 2-3 days. I stopped the antibiotic. What are the chances of permanent damage, how long does tendinitis typically last, and how can I treat the head fog and overall feeling of being unwell?

I tore my frenulum during intercourse and now there is a small loose piece of skin that is not attached to the head anymore. There was a lot of blood, but now it seems to have a whiteish film building over the area. Should I get treatment, and if so, what kind of treatment is needed? How long should I avoid sexual activity, and do I need to see a special doctor for this?
