I have been diagnosed with a sinus infection and have been taking ic azithromycin 250mg for six days, but my symptoms have not improved. Is this normal or is the antibiotic not effective? If this is a viral infection, are there other forms of treatment I should consider?

I have positive IgM and IgG results, and I'm experiencing athralgia, palpitations, and had multiple EM rashes about 6 weeks ago. I'm currently on oral doxycycline 100mg twice a day. Shouldn't my dose be at least 200mg twice a day?

I am a 50-year-old female with a recent pulmonary embolism, blood and white cells in my urine, and elevated liver enzymes (GGT 338, AST 50, ALT 98, ALK PHOS 79, BILIRUBIN 6, BICARBONATE 17, GLUCOSE 8.7). I have a history of NASH and am currently on warfarin. I experience right-sided back pain, occasional left-sided chest pains, frequent urination with no infection detected, nausea, headache, thirst, and fatigue. What could be causing these symptoms and elevated liver enzymes, and what should I do?

I am having a toxic reaction to a mold or dust mite infestation in my carpet. I need to know how to identify what is in the carpet other than through cultures for mold/fungus and dust mites. My two dogs and I are allergic to Aspergillus fumigatus, dust mites, and bluegrass. I also see patterns in the carpet like little holes and burrowing, which have become more prevalent. What am I dealing with?

I need to get a prescription for Gabapentin again. I was seeing a rheumatoid doctor who prescribed this for me at night. I ran out of insurance and cannot afford to see him again. I take Tegretol for my chronic neuralgia on the left side of my face. I'm a male, 59, and it's getting harder to handle the pain. This medication seems to help me manage it.
