I received my depo shot on Thursday and have noticed a lump that has increased in size and is sore to the touch on my upper thigh. The lump is red and has doubled in size since Monday morning. I'm currently on depo provera sub q birth control and have taken Tylenol for discomfort. What could this be and should I seek medical attention?

I've been experiencing strange urinary symptoms, including clear, slight, constant discharge despite negative STD tests and clear urinalysis. I've been using Flagyl since 5/10, but it doesn't seem to have helped much. The symptoms have been coming and going since 2/22, even disappearing in April but returning in early May. I was diagnosed with an E. faecalis infection in early March and went on penicillin twice. I had unprotected sex on 12/28 and 1/6. Could this be related to prostatitis or a UTI? What should I do next?

I take citalopram 40mg daily for anxiety and depression. My psychiatrist has started me on 7.5mg of buspirone 2x per day and I have been using it for about 2 weeks now. I often forget to take my night time dose. Recently, I have been noticing bouts of fatigue, a general confused feeling, memory loss issues, and trouble recalling. Are these side effects of the medication, and can I stop the medication cold turkey because it's making my anxiety worse and the memory issues are concerning me?

My 13-year-old son has been diagnosed with typhoid fever and has had a high temperature for 5 days, which reduces with paracetamol or mefkind forte. He is also experiencing fever at night and morning, redness in his eyes, and swelling of a lymph node on the left side of his neck. How long will the fever persist, and what could be causing the lymph node swelling?
