I have a full burning pain in the upper part of my stomach that comes and goes. When I go to the bathroom or drink water, it feels better. I ate cereal with milk last night, and my stomach feels bloated with some pain in my back. My gall bladder and appendix were removed a while back. What could be causing this pain?

I burned my hand 10 minutes ago while filling jars with boiling relish. My hand is very red but not blistering. I am a 72-year-old diabetic on insulin. What should I do to treat the burn?

My 4-year-old child has had a fever of 103.2°F, which broke after giving her Tylenol, but she vomited shortly after and complained of neck pain. She had a low-grade fever (101.3°F) a couple of days ago with pink eye, for which she has been on antibiotics. She has been coughing occasionally and had a good breathing pattern without any pre-existing respiratory conditions. What should I do to manage her symptoms and when should I be concerned about her fever?

I haven't received treatment for my health issues in about 3 years, during which I experienced mental distress such as depression and anxiety, leading to a decline in my overall health and dental issues like cracked teeth and cavities. I've recently started taking better care of my health but have lost my job and had no income to seek professional help. My teeth have become more sensitive, and I experienced discomfort after eating something acidic. What can I do to manage my symptoms until I can get proper treatment?

I have been experiencing flu-like symptoms and an ear infection for the past 3-4 days. Symptoms include a chesty cough, runny nose, green phlegm, and ear infection. I have been taking cold and flu tablets but they are not helping. I would like a prescription for antibiotics as the infection has worsened.
