I have been having chest pains since midnight, which improved after taking ibuprofen but still persists. The pain is stable, around a 5 on a scale of 1-10, and feels achy like a bruise, located below the surface of my chest. I am a 25-year-old female with no past illnesses except respiratory hypertension at birth, no regular medications, and I vape. The pain is more noticeable when lying down or getting up, and I have had a cold recently. What should I do?

I’ve been intermittently self-catheterizing due to BPH, and I’m able to urinate throughout the day, though with a mild stream. I self-cath in the morning and before bed, and sometimes during the day if needed. If I insert the catheter fully but get very little urine, does that mean my bladder is empty? Also, I had trouble inserting the catheter and saw blood in my urine afterward, but it seems to be clearing up. Am I okay?

My five-year-old daughter has developed a rash on one side of her buttock that started as a few painful bumps resembling boils, which have now increased to about 15 bumps. The initial bumps were itchy and painful, but the pain subsided after one of them popped. She has no current medications, is five years old, and has a history of sickle cell trait and eczema. What could be causing this rash, and what should I do?

I swallowed the ball from my tongue ring while eating a pretzel. I'm pregnant and just found out two days ago. I'm 18 years old and not taking any medications or vitamins. Is there anything I should be concerned about?
