I got bitten by a house dog last Saturday on my left hand. The wound became swollen and had pus, so I went to the hospital where they treated it with antibiotics and a tetanus shot. It's now Wednesday night, and I'm feeling pain and tenderness in my left armpit. I'm wondering if this is an infection or just inflammation due to the tetanus shot. Additionally, I've had more post-nasal drip than usual today. Could this be related to the tetanus shot, augmentin, or infection?

I have a new left hip acetabular labral tear, a paralabral cyst, and a pistol-grip deformity, which are causing stabbing pain and locking sensations in my hip. Additionally, I have an iliacus OS musculotendinous junction edema suggesting strain or abnormal mechanics. What kind of doctor should I see for these issues, and what type of doctor are you?

I was wearing shoes while walking and a broken shoe caused a needle to enter and touch my leg. Is there a risk of contracting a dangerous virus such as HIV or HCV from this incident?

I'm 14 weeks pregnant with mono twins and had a very light brown discharge once on my underwear and toilet paper. I had a stomach ultrasound two days ago which was fine. Should I go to the hospital, or is it okay to wait and monitor the situation?

I have type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and Barrett's Esophagus. I've had diarrhea and constipation for the past two weeks, and my stools are yellowish, stringy, and sometimes have mucus. I wipe yellow after stool/diarrhea. My gastroenterologist prescribed Neomycin for 10 days for possible SIBO, and I am concerned I might have candida. I also have mild thrush on the back of my tongue and am worried about taking Nystatin liquid. Should I stop taking Omeprazole while on Neomycin?
