I have a nasal and ear infection that has persisted for 6 days after a flight, causing pressure build-up in my ear and making it hard to hear. My nose is also bubbling, and I can't breathe properly due to mucus build-up. I'm 18 years old and currently using a neti pot, but it only helps for 30 minutes. I have a history of ear infections from when I was younger. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to alleviate them?

I am a 48-year-old male with a history of GERD and a Nissen repair 11 years ago. Today, I experienced intense abdominal pain on my upper right side, which felt like a giant gas bubble. The pain subsided after about 3 hours, but it was tender to touch and sometimes radiated to the center of my chest and right side. I also noticed some gas movement and occasional small burps. Is this likely gallbladder or gastritis pain, and if it is a gallstone trying to pass, is there a quick way to remedy it? Additionally, how can I self-confirm the issue, and what foods can help prevent a recurrence or improve my current condition?

My brother, 67, has been experiencing sudden onset numbness on his right side, including his face, and balance issues after standing for long periods. His CT scan, blood work, and X-rays were normal, but he has a history of uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure, which are now under control. What additional tests should be considered, and what could be the possible causes of his symptoms, such as stroke, Bell's palsy, or MS?

I have symptoms of illness but tested negative for COVID. I suspect black mold in my bathroom is causing my symptoms. Do these symptoms align with mold exposure?

I took pantoprazole for 28 days and sucralfate for about 15 days for GERD symptoms and possible ulcer. I felt better but experienced epigastric discomfort and chest pain after stopping the medication 4 days ago. What could this mean?
