My husband took a bite of hardshell tacos and got a piece stuck in his throat, which then went down and caused coughing and a small amount of blood. He is now experiencing pain when taking deep breaths, initially around his breastbone but now on his right side under his rib cage. Should he go to the hospital, and how will they be able to diagnose and treat his condition?

Does this look like ringworm on the left side of my finger? I had a wart removed that has come back on the right after wearing a ring on that finger through summer. The skin seemed to have dried completely out where the ring was before the wart came back. On the left side, this circular rash/raw area appeared over time. It is scaly and since I’ve been washing my hands a lot and using hand sanitizer, I feel like it is much more irritated and is now kind of warm to the touch.
