I have been experiencing occasional spitting up of blood, which is causing significant anxiety. The blood appears in my saliva and clears up quickly, typically within 2-3 minutes. I have had a chest X-ray, which was normal, and an ENT examination, which did not reveal any suspicious lesions. The blood does not come up with a cough, and I have no new symptoms. What could be the cause of this, and is there a risk of cancer?

I am a 47-year-old healthy male using testosterone replacement therapy for 2 years with good improvements. I want to start growth hormone injections. What is the best daily dosage for general health, the optimal time to take the shot, whether it should be on an empty stomach, and if I need to do cardio afterward?

I am a 66-year-old male with a history of Crohn's disease and a previous perforated colon, which was surgically corrected. I have been experiencing diarrhea for about a week, which started after returning from a trip to NYC and resuming life in Mexico. The diarrhea is watery and occurs 3-4 times a day, but I have no fever, abdominal pain, or significant nausea. My urine output is normal, and my tongue is moist. I take tamsulosin and oxybutynin for benign prostatic hyperplasia. What should I do about my diarrhea?

My 22-month-old has weird bumps on her skin that aren't red and don't cause itching. Aquaphor isn't helping. Should I take her to the doctor or wait for it to clear up on its own?

My son just turned 7 and is a very restless sleeper, often thrusting or kicking his legs hard, or having quick shakes at times, without waking up. Is this normal, concerning, or related to seizures?
