I've been experiencing a stiff neck for two days now and I'm concerned if it's a symptom for meningitis. I'm 65 years old, on lisinipril, and have high blood pressure. My symptoms include a very slight headache but no fever, sensitivity to light, or fatigue. What could be causing my stiff neck and how long should this condition last before I should get checked up at the ER?

I've been constipated for two months, my primary doctor put me on laxatives, sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. Last night I fell asleep on my stomach and now my stomach and abdomen hurt. Not sure if it's something I should be worried about. My whole body is shaking when I lay on my left side and I feel extremely tired. I’ve also been put on antibiotics because I’ve gotten a yeast infection. And I believe I also have a sinus infection due to headaches, ear aches, and a cough. How can I address these issues?

I tested positive for strep throat 3 days ago and have been taking amoxicillin. However, I have developed 12-15 canker sores inside my lip, on the tip of my tongue, and the back of my mouth. I don't know how to get rid of them. Has Amoxicillin helped at all? What's your dosage? Is there anything I can do to prevent them from continuing to come? And do you think they are related to my strep throat?
