I have a perirectal abscess that a doctor said was too diffuse to drain and prescribed antibiotics to dry it up. However, I am experiencing cycles of fever and chills and am in significant discomfort. Should I go to the emergency room?

I fell from a horse last Sunday and went to the trauma center because I have a fusion at L4, L5, S1 and was terrified that something came loose. I found out via CT scan that the hardware looks good and nothing is broken. However, I had severe bruising to my kidney and heart (ribs). Everything is feeling 110% better except my 'heart'. I am unable to lift anything up or even get out of a chair without being very careful. Would a CT scan see if there was anything more going on than bruising? Should I go back or just give it more time?

I have had a rash under my bra line for months, which was diagnosed as a yeast skin infection but hasn't responded to treatment. I've also been to a dermatologist without success. My child has had nonstop headaches for the past few days, and we both struggle to breathe when we sleep at night. I recently found mold growing in the padding of my carpet in the bedroom, and we had a water heater leak into our room in January. Could these issues be related to the mold?

Do you have any other questions or still need help?

My husband is 49 and has a bad cold in his chest. He has a cough with drainage, a low-grade fever, and diarrhea. Could the drainage cause an upset stomach, and what should he do?
