I am paraplegic t4/t5 complete and have developed a persistent cough. I have been using my Ventolin inhaler for 2 years, but it hasn't helped this time. The cough started getting worse yesterday. I also have high blood pressure and some nasal congestion. What can I do to alleviate the cough since my GP is unavailable?

Is there a test to determine if a woman’s immune system is making antibodies against the HCG hormone, and if so, what is it called and how does one go about getting tested?

I have only had one small bowel movement since Thursday, despite eating a lot. I used a mineral oil enema 30 minutes ago and was advised to see a doctor if there was no movement within 30 minutes. I feel slightly nauseous and have taken laxatives and was previously prescribed Lynzess. I also had a laxative tea last night that didn't work. I'm 27 years old, experienced no bowel movement after the oil enema, have abdominal cramps, extreme bloating, and discomfort. What should I do?

I started experiencing symptoms such as chills, weakness, lightheadedness, a pounding headache, overall sick feeling, joint pain in my right hand knuckles and left hip 10 days ago. I thought I was recovering, but then I got a sore throat, cough, congestion, and a low-grade fever. I have since taken Aleve for headaches and Max Strength Mucinex DM for cough and congestion. I have no appetite and had diarrhea yesterday. I am 55 years old and have occasional shortness of breath. My throat is not very sore but feels irritated, and I have a kink in my neck. What is your recommendation for my ongoing symptoms?

I'm a 14-year-old boy experiencing joint pain, whole body weakness, lightheadedness, leg tremors, and muscle spasms. I have a family history of autoimmune diseases on my father's side. I am seeing a rheumatologist soon, but I was wondering if you had any clues to what might be going on.
