I started antibiotics for strep throat last Sunday, but had to switch to a different antibiotic on day 4 due to a reaction. I'm having side effects and want to know if I can stop taking the new antibiotic today, which would be 10 days of antibiotics in total. I'm also concerned about small white spots on my right tonsil that have persisted for 9 days without other symptoms. Should I continue the antibiotics until Friday as instructed, or can I safely stop them today?

This morning, I had gasoline on my shoes from stopping at a gas station, and my kid and I went into the bathroom where it smelled like gas because of my shoe. We were in there for about 2-3 minutes. Is that harmful to us?

I'm a 21-year-old male experiencing a whistling sound that occurs only when there is external sound, such as when driving or when a fan is on. The sound is not present in quiet environments and does not seem to originate from inside my head, even when I plug my ears. I have perfect hearing and have been dealing with severe health anxiety for the past month. Could this whistling sound be related to my anxiety?

I'm looking for help with my chronic insomnia. I've been dealing with this my whole adult life. I'm a 53-year-old female, do shift work, and experience significant stress in my family and marriage. I follow sleep hygiene recommendations but still struggle to fall asleep for about an hour after going to bed. I take zolpidem (Ambien), hydroxyzine, and gabapentin for insomnia and chronic pain. I'm open to trying different medications or alternative treatments. What treatment options can help with my insomnia?

I noticed a long red line on my feces during defecation and experienced abdominal pain. I also felt constant wheezy pain before defecation during this period. Is this something serious?
