I have been using a Neti Pot for sinus pressure, but I didn't clean it after each use and now I'm worried about potential infections. I used filtered water, boiled it, and added a salt packet. I also read about brain-eating bacteria from using contaminated water, which increased my anxiety. What should I do to ensure safety and reduce my anxiety?

I’m a professional trumpet player and there’s a spot on my lip that always grows a pimple. It’s right where I place my mouthpiece so it’s painful to play. I’ve been taking the day off to not irritate it, but it’s not ideal as I need to play shows this weekend. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it quickly? I will not be able to see a doctor before my show. I’m a 35-year-old woman. This has most recently come when I practice after not practicing for a while.

I got my tattoo 9 days ago and it’s still red around the edges. Is it infected or just inflamed? How long can the redness last, and could it be a sign of diabetes?

How long do I need to be quarantined after a positive COVID-19 test if I have no symptoms, and what precautions should I take if I live with others who have been exposed?

My daughter, who is 5 years old, recently had blood work done, and the results show a higher-than-normal BUN/Creatinine level. Additionally, she has been experiencing moments of feeling cold, even in warm environments, which come and go. What could be the cause of these symptoms?

My wife has about 8 bruises that suddenly appeared on her legs and arm, with 2 of them being the size of a baseball and having a white center with a knot in it. She has had them for about 4 days. She is 35 years old, not using any medications, has had 2 seizures, and had pneumonia in her right lung last month. Her joints have been hurting. What could be causing these bruises and what should we do?
