I have been experiencing clear or light yellow urine frequently for 5 days. I am a 37-year-old male taking Janumet 50/500 for diabetes. I have no burning or stinging pain while peeing, no fever, and no episodes of dehydration. The weather has recently changed from rainy to hot summer. What could be causing this and what tests should I consider?

Can probiotics make your mental health worse? I had diarrhea for almost 3 weeks while taking them and felt horrible. I stopped 5 days ago but am still not feeling great. I also experienced increased anxiety, depression, and shakiness, which I initially thought were due to an increased dose of my antidepressant, venlaflaxine, but realized the diarrhea was likely due to the probiotics. How long does it usually take for the gut to return to normal after stopping probiotics, and could the probiotic or diarrhea have temporarily affected the effectiveness of my increased antidepressant dose?

I was prescribed Rynex DM and took it over an hour ago, but it's not helping my severe cough, and I can't sleep. How long do I have to wait to take Delsym Nighttime for relief? I have a constant, dry cough with chest tightness due to asthma, and I've taken over 20 inhaler puffs today. I'm 26 years old and have only used Delsym once this time, though I've used it in the past.

I used to have frequent palpitations. One of the doctors with this service suggested drinking an electrolyte drink when I exercise or after drinking alcohol and to take magnesium oxide and coq10. It sounds too simple but it works. It’s been over a month and no palps. I’m 66 and suffered from those things my whole life and now they are gone. I’m intensely curious. Can you tell me why this “magic” formula works for me?

I have been vomiting for the last 24 hours, starting yesterday around midnight. I also had a fever, dizziness, and chills. I took two Advil tablets yesterday and am 27 years old. I haven't been able to keep food down and feel extremely fatigued. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have swollen red tonsils, a sore throat, difficulty swallowing liquids, and difficulty falling asleep. I am a 28-year-old female with a history of recurring tonsil issues, but this time it has lasted for almost 3 months and has worsened recently. I also have pressure in my throat and a swollen lymph node, which is causing me to wake up during the night. I have an appointment with my doctor next month. What could be causing this and what can I do in the meantime?
