How common is esophageal or throat cancer in people with LPR/GERD, and what are the significant symptoms that could indicate a higher risk of cancer? I have moderate LPR with minimal to no heartburn, perfect blood work, very low CRP, and have controlled LPR with diet, weight loss, and medications like Gaviscon UK and CBD oil. My main concern is the long-term risk of cancer due to having LPR for over 20 years.

I have high liver GGT levels and have noticed my ALK levels rising over the years, along with significant muscle mass loss and joint clicking. I've had an MRI that shows some cysts on my liver but no concerning masses. I'm a 55-year-old male who doesn't drink or smoke and is in good health otherwise. What could be causing these elevated levels and what should I do next?

I realized I have a gland on my scrotum. Is it dangerous, and could it be related to not showering for two days and sweating a lot?

My 31-year-old son has had diarrhea for 24 hours, vomiting, and a spiking fever of 101°F. Should he be seen at urgent care? He has no cough, chills, or pre-existing respiratory conditions. He rarely gets sick, takes no routine medications, and first felt ill about 4 hours after eating at a restaurant. He has been taking Immodium and increasing fluids, but has vomited twice and needs to drink more fluids.
