I just had major surgery on my shoulder, including rotator cuff and muscle repair. My doctor couldn't write me a prescription because I'm under pain management but advised me to have my dose changed from 1 every 4 to 6 hours to 1 every 3 to 6 hours. How many pills should I take a day?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and it’s my first time. My breasts were really sore for the past week or two, but now they are not. Should I be concerned?

What are these bluish marks on my 15-month-old's belly after she tumbled over her toddler bed? Are they bruises or veins?

I have been experiencing a metallic taste in my mouth and occasional blood in my sputum for the past 6 weeks. I have seen an ENT doctor and a dentist, both of whom found nothing abnormal. I have also had an EGD and a chest X-ray, which showed no issues. I am taking omeprazole and Allegra, and I do not have a chronic cough. I am worried about lung cancer, especially since I have a gene mutation (APC) that increases cancer risk. What could be causing this blood in my sputum, and how can you be sure it's not lung cancer?

I have been experiencing migraines since suffering whiplash in a 2018 auto accident. The migraines are accompanied by photophobia, dizziness, and cognitive issues, and are worse in summer. MRI results show low-lying cerebellar tonsils, and I have tried various treatments including supplements and medications like Claritin-D and ibuprofen/Tylenol, but the migraines persist and seem to be worsening. My neurologist attributes these to post-accident migraines. I am seeking a second opinion on whether this could be something more serious, such as Chiari I malformation, or if I am just dealing with chronic migraines.

I had a severe case of COVID in 2020 and was on a ventilator for 16 days due to pneumonia. I have since developed several health issues including neurogenic bladder, pulmonary edema/CHF, afib, primary hyperthyroidism, bilateral peripheral neuropathy, foot drop, organizing pneumonia, osteoporosis, splenomegaly, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease causing cirrhosis. I have had 2 COVID immunizations and 2 boosters. My nephew and his family, who are against immunizations, have not been vaccinated. Should I be concerned about contracting COVID from them if I invite their children over to my pool, as long as we are outside and I do not hug them?
