I have acid reflux, and despite taking medications like Pontoprazole and Cipoxaline, I still experience constant dry cough, throat pain, swollen tongue with bruises, headache, and a hoarse voice. I am 65 years old and have been dealing with these symptoms since December. Additionally, my mother has Monoclonal Gammopathy, and I am concerned if this could be related to my symptoms. What can be done to manage these symptoms and determine their cause?

I asked about the oral supplement SAM-e and its effects, particularly in reducing ADHD medication. I stopped using it due to concerns about potential adverse interactions and withdrawal symptoms, which some people reported.

I have a sore head, ears, and throat from my granddaughter, who gave me her sickness. My whole family has been having this for six weeks, and I'm the last one to get it, starting four days ago. I'm fighting it, but they all took a Z pack to get better, and I'm not feeling well, especially with the holidays coming. I don’t want to be too sick. How long have you had the soreness? Is this stable or getting worse? Have you used the antibiotics or anything similar before? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
