I have pain in my left rib, which started this morning and comes and goes. The pain is achey and located in the front of the rib, about 1.5 fingers down from my breast. I am on birth control and had a kidney infection about a year ago. I am concerned it could be pancreatitis. What could be causing this pain and what steps should I take?

My daughter, 16 years old, ran a fever and threw up several times on Wednesday. She experienced stomach pain on Thursday and Friday, was nauseous on Saturday, and threw up again this morning. She has had no fever since Wednesday. The stomach pain comes and goes and feels more like gas or bloating. She has taken a few Pepto-Bismol tablets and some Dayquil and Nyquil on Wednesday. What could be causing her symptoms and what should I do?

I have no feeling in my jaw and facial numbness on the right side, with jaw popping on the left. I also have difficulty opening my mouth and chewing solid foods. My neurology ruled out trigeminal neuralgia. What could be causing these symptoms, and is it related to my chronic sinus infection?

My left hand and forearm keep going numb and feel tired. How long have you had the numbness? Is this stable or getting worse? Any dizziness or muscle spasms? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the numbness or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I drank from a stranger's glass without thinking. Should I be worried about potential infections like herpes, given that I am 22 years old, do not take any medications, and have no known medical conditions?
