I was prescribed Oxycodone 5mg a week ago after having an appendectomy. I took my last dose yesterday morning, so it has been 24 hours. When may it be safe for me to drink alcohol again without risking an accidental overdose?

I have a dilated bile duct measuring 7.7mm, diagnosed via ultrasound. The issue has been concerning me for a little over a month. I am currently taking pantoprazole 40mg and experiencing an uncomfortable pain in the area. My blood work and stool tests were normal except for low potassium levels. The ultrasound showed no stones or sludge in the gallbladder. Should I seek an ERCP elsewhere or wait for a scheduled ultrasound on June 13th, and should I continue my usual training regimen of marathons and Ironman competitions?

I ate something bad and now my stomach hurts, I feel nauseous, and I also feel dizzy. The stomach pain started right after finishing the food and is more or less constant. The pain is ache-like, similar to acid reflux. I am currently using Acidophilus probiotics and Dramamine, and I am 18 years old with a history of asthma. What should I do for relief?

Can chronic constipation and ongoing hemorrhoids for years be symptoms of colon cancer, and why aren't laxatives and other treatments helping with my constipation and bowel issues?

I have had a congested chest with dark green phlegm, a sore throat, a heavy cough, and thick green mucus in my nose for over a week. I experience coughing fits when I breathe deeply and have lost my voice for 4 days. I am a 49-year-old female with no fever, no pain to the face, no swelling or redness, and no exposure to COVID-19. I have a headache and difficulty sleeping due to coughing. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
