I injured my knee yesterday while walking. I felt my knee slide out to the left, and it is now swollen and painful on the left side. I went to the ER, where they did an X-ray and found no tears in the ACL or MCL, but suspect some form of injury. What could be causing this pain, and what further tests or treatments should I consider?

The pain and swelling in your knee could indicate a meniscal (cartilage) tear or a cruciate ligament...

What causes a sore throat on one side, and could it be related to COVID-19 or other conditions like allergies or post nasal drip?

I have been getting pimples on my upper body, particularly on the right side. They are pink and white-ish in color and are forming around an older, larger pimple that I scraped, causing it to get infected. I took medication for it, which calmed it down, but the old pimple and new ones are still there. The old pimple on my shoulder feels weak when touched, and it feels like there is a hole under it due to me forcing the pus out. What could this be, and what should I do?

My brother had a brain stem stroke and is now in a coma. He has been showing spontaneous movements like head movement and pain stimuli in his leg and foot. It's been three weeks since the stroke. How long does it usually take to come out of a coma after a stroke, and if he doesn't recover after another week, what should be the next step?

Could the motion of slightly moving my baby's head backward while lifting her from bed, with my fingers supporting her neck, be similar to shaking and potentially harmful?

I had unprotected sex a week ago and started to get itchy the next day on my vulva, specifically on the flap part inside, not directly on my vagina. There's no rash, but it's red, sore, and burning, especially on the skin next to the labia majora where hair grows. It also hurts to pee at first but then it's fine. Is it possible it could be an STD, or is it more likely a yeast infection or folliculitis?
