I had a fall down the stairs 3 months ago, resulting in a hospital stay and a follow-up CT scan that showed mild edema or early encephalomalacia. I was told there was mild swelling but nothing more serious was mentioned. Now, I'm worried that I might have a more serious condition that was overlooked. What should I understand about the CT scan results and why wasn't the more serious condition discussed?

What kind of insect is biting me on my leg in Indianapolis, IN?

I have a foreskin problem. It looks inflamed or swollen, and when I try to pull it back, the tip is red and looks like it covers a bit beyond the tip. The eczema only triggered after I had COVID, and I'm experiencing discomfort like itching. It looks like it might get difficult to pee at one point. I can get some space if I try to clean under the foreskin, but it returns after a few seconds. What could this be, and what should I do?

My 3-year-old son had food poisoning, followed by vomiting and diarrhea, and then developed a mild fever. My 7-year-old daughter also started vomiting and had a fever. What should I do for their recovery, and what food and vaccines would you recommend for their overall wellbeing, especially considering my daughter has mild-moderate autism and is non-verbal?

I am a 36-year-old healthy male. I noticed blood on the tissue after wiping and a small amount on the top of my stool. This has happened occasionally for months, but today was more noticeable. I had some straining during bowel movement, which was painful for about 8 seconds. Is this something I should be concerned about?

What should I do about edema affecting my whole legs, irregular breathing, and sporadic heart pain, especially since I've recently started new medications but not changed my diet, and was previously taking furosemide?
