Hey doc, I just yawned and now my throat hurts, feeling odd when I swallow. I'm a 26-year-old male with big tonsils, no lymph node swelling, and I suffer from GERD. The pain is roughly where my fingers indicate. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My right knee has been feeling uncomfortable, mainly in the back part and the bottom. I have started weight training but keep it light and stretch. What could this be and how can I prevent further damage? I do wear a patella brace.

My husband has been feeling ill with a fever over 102°F for 7 days. He was diagnosed with RSV and secondary pneumonia, prescribed Levaquin, but seems significantly worse today. At what point should I be concerned and seek further medical attention?

I just had umbilical hernia repair surgery on Wednesday and today I noticed a pain in my left calf muscle. The pain comes and goes, is sharp but mild, and is localized to one small area in the back of my calf. I am currently taking Tylenol and 5mg Percocet, and I am 37 years old. Should I be concerned about this pain, and what steps should I take to address it?

I have been experiencing pain when swallowing for several months, which I initially dismissed as not serious. Given my history of bulimia and concerns about Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer, I am worried about the potential risks and whether my symptoms could indicate a serious condition. Additionally, I have been experiencing other symptoms such as gurgling noises in my stomach and chest, excessive flatulence, difficulty burping, a feeling of something stuck in my chest, and occasional heartburn despite being on omeprazole and gaviscon. Could these symptoms be related to GERD or anxiety, and what should I do next?
