I am 84 years old and have had hearing aids for many years. I recently bought a new Tru Hearing aid that goes behind the ear, which is different from my previous in-ear aids. This new aid has irritated my ear, making it difficult to wear. I am completely deaf in my right ear, so all my hearing relies on my left ear. Should I tough it out or go to a doctor?

I have been feeling anxious and uncomfortable for the last 2 days with an elevated temperature around 100°F, cramps, and a fluttering sensation in my chest. I'm currently on my menstrual cycle and have started having green bowel movements. What could be wrong?

My platelet count is 421 and my RDW is 15.9. Should I be concerned? All my other blood work was normal. I have been on Seasonique for 5 years.

My husband is experiencing vomiting, bloating, and now diarrhea for almost two weeks. He is 39 years old with a history of high blood pressure but no other medical issues. He has not taken any medication for these symptoms and is otherwise fine throughout the day until suddenly having to throw up. Should we seek urgent medical attention, or can this wait for a regular doctor's appointment?

I have a strange bump in the back of my throat that I've had for 3 weeks. I've tried antifungal medicine, which made my tongue fuzzy, so I stopped. I've also used saline rinses. I'm an occasional smoker and am concerned it could be oral cancer. What could this bump be, and is there anything I can do to help it heal more quickly?
