I have a fear of hospitals and operating rooms. Could my girlfriend be allowed to escort me into the OR and be present during my removal from there? I'm also 25 and have a shunt replacement due to hydrocephalus since birth. What can the hospital do to accommodate my needs, and how accommodating are hospitals in general regarding my specific requests?

I have redness and pain in my penis, and I feel a little pain while urinating. I have noticed a small amount of blood when I touch the head of my penis. How long have you had the pain? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the pain? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I am on Prilosec and Carafate, and now I have to add an antibiotic, Macrobid. How is this going to work, and what should I do about the foaming issue I'm experiencing?

I had 24 oz of cucumber juice on Wednesday morning, and since then, I've experienced nausea, diarrhea, and gas. I'm concerned if this could be a stomach bug or related to the juice. I'm also worried about the possibility of colon cancer, but I'm 33 and had a healthy physical in January. What should I do?

I'm an 18-year-old female with a sore throat on only one side, which is unusual for me. I had a mild runny nose for the past few days, but otherwise, I feel fine. My tonsils don't look swollen, and I can swallow food and liquids without pain. I'm concerned about the possibility of it being something serious like a peritonsillar abscess or COVID-19. What could be causing this sore throat, and are there any symptoms or treatments I should be aware of?

I have a head cold with symptoms like a blocked nose, a little cough, and yellow snot. I've been using nasal spray, cold medicine, vapo drops, armaforce, and nurofen. What can I do to feel better, and how do I perform steam inhalation?
