I am experiencing stiffness, soreness, and swelling behind my left knee, which started about 4 weeks ago after beginning physical therapy on my right hip. I am a 40-year-old female with arthritis in my hands and am hyperextended. I take gabapentin and ibuprofen 800 mg. Could this be water on the knee (effusion), and what should I do until I can see a doctor?

I have a sinus infection and was given amoxicillin, a steroid shot, cough medicine, and albuterol for my nebulizer. My doctor said my lungs are clear and the coughing spells are from post nasal drip. I am coughing until I nearly pass out, which is making me very anxious. What else can I do for the cough?

I was diagnosed with the flu on December 26th and was given Xofluza. Two weeks later, I was prescribed Benzonate, but I am still coughing due to post nasal drip from the flu. I keep constantly coughing and needing cough drops all day even with taking Tylenol cold and flu every few hours. At what point should I go back to the doctor?

My white blood cell count (WBC) was 14.3, which is slightly high. What could this indicate, especially given that I'm coughing up green mucus and have a severe headache?

My wife's potassium level is high at 5.4. She is not on any medications, and her creatinine level is slightly low at 0.67. She has no history of kidney issues, but her last potassium check in 2018 was 3.9. What could be causing this and should we be concerned?

I have a bump under my tongue that I think is an inflamed taste bud. My dad, who is an oncologist, said it's normal anatomy, but I wanted a second opinion. Can you provide a diagnosis based on the picture I sent?
