I have a sensitivity to certain perfumed products, such as scented candles, colognes, and aerosol cleaning products, which cause blistering in my ear canals, sinuses, and the back of my throat. After being exposed to something at work, I took Benadryl and the burning pain resolved, but I now have chest congestion and am coughing up brown sputum. Should I seek antibiotics, and what other treatments might help?

Walking is causing shortness of breath and pain in the neck on either side of the Adam's apple. The pain goes away when sitting for a few minutes. I am a 77-year-old female with a history of Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and recent recovery from an airplane flu. How long have you been dealing with the neck pain? Are you experiencing any numbness or tingling? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I have been taking 90mg of Cymbalta for anxiety and recently added 2mg of Valium 3 times a day. I am attending a special event tonight and wondering if it is safe to consume one glass of wine. I used to drink wine with Cymbalta but am unsure about the combination with Valium.

I am sick and have vomited, feeling food lodged in my oesophagus. It is not blocking my windpipe, and I can breathe normally. The obstruction is uncomfortable and located where the sternum meets the throat. I have tried to vomit again, drink cold and warm water, and 7-up soda, but the obstruction remains. I do not have a fever or any other known medical conditions. What should I do?

Will a combination of Keflex and Mupirocin ointment help with healing a cold sore faster, especially considering I was bitten by a brown recluse spider this past week and have high blood pressure and a history of uterine cancer?
