I have a 2-day-old newborn who was born vaginally, and I was GBS positive with two doses of antibiotics during labor. The baby has developed a strange breathing pattern noticeable in his belly and ribs. Should I take him to the ER?

I hit my hand and have a raised bruise on my hand about 1.5 inches and purple. It is raised pretty high. When did the bruise first appear? Have you used any medication for this? Have you seen a dermatologist about the bruise? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I have experienced pain and tests showed blood in my stool. My CBC results are not normal, and I have high globulin levels. I'm worried about the possibility of cancer. What are the risks of this being cancer based on my blood results?

I have nerve pain in my hip that worsens when I bend over and prevents me from straightening up. The pain has been ongoing for 2-3 weeks and travels down my leg but not to the foot. I haven't taken any medication and haven't seen a doctor due to financial constraints. I'm allergic to penicillin. Where exactly is the pain, and what can help alleviate it?

I went to immediate care on 12/23 with a sore throat and tested positive for strep throat. Since then, I have developed multiple canker sores, mostly on my tonsils but a couple on my tongue, making swallowing very painful. Could these be related, or are they likely two separate illnesses? Could canker sores make you test positive for strep? I was given antibiotics and have been using Ibuprofen, anesthetic throat spray, and cough drops for relief.
