I have been experiencing loss of appetite, a warm feeling in my stomach, and nausea for the past 5 weeks. I have alternating diarrhea and constipation, and I am currently taking DEXILANT. I have not experienced any weight loss, stress, fever, or a family history of irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. My thyroid status was last checked a year ago and was fine. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

I have a hairline fracture and have been given a splint cast. It's been on since yesterday, and it's very hot in Maui, making it feel very constricted. I'm not leaving to see my doctor in NY until January 2nd. Should I keep the cast on, or is it advisable to take it off or recast it before then?

About 2 months ago, I had a sore mouth with white spots everywhere, which my doctor diagnosed as cold sores in the mouth. I was prescribed Valtrex, but the issue came back with white dots in my mouth and the back of my throat, and my throat feels swollen. Could I have another bad outbreak of cold sores in my mouth, and can they go in the back of the throat?

I am a 57-year-old woman who recently stopped taking Tamoxifen and Hydroxyzine for anxiety and sleep. In the last month, I have been waking up every hour or two to urinate at night, which was not a problem before. Could the medications I was on have caused this, and why is it only at night? I have no pain when I pee.

I believe I have tonsillitis, characterized by swollen, red, and sore tonsils that hurt when I eat. I've had it before and am aware of the symptoms. I'm 28 years old, asthmatic, and have a history of recurrent tonsillitis. What should I do for treatment and should I get it checked?

What is wrong with my throat and chest? For the last 3 weeks, I have had a persistent sore throat that keeps returning, especially on the right side, accompanied by sharp pain, coughing fits, and nerve pain throughout my body. Additionally, I experienced chest pain, neck soreness, and a sensation of my heart stopping for a few seconds, which has me concerned about potential cardiac issues.
