Can you get a concussion from banging heads together? My toddler and I recently had a head-banging incident where he hit the back of my head very hard. I have a small bump and feel dizzy, nauseous, and have a slight headache. The baby is sleeping and seems fine. Should I be concerned about concussion symptoms?

I had an ultrasound that showed a 1.8 cm complex cyst in the right ovary, likely functional, and some left-sided periuterine/pelvic varices. I have pain on the left side and small Nabothian cysts. I would like to know if these findings are concerning, what they mean, and if starting birth control could help with the pain or shrink the cyst.

I have a severe sore throat that has persisted for four days. I have tried various remedies such as Strepsils, gargling with warm salted water, and suppressing cough and congestion, but nothing has eased the sharp and achy pain when I swallow. I occasionally get chills but no fever. What can I take to help ease the pain and potentially get rid of the infection in my throat?

My foot hurts, will you be able to X-ray it? The pain started a couple of days ago and seems to be on the top of the instep. It doesn't hurt when I wear a boot, but it starts to hurt when I walk and then stops. I am 78 years old, in good health, and take Advil, vitamins, and calcium. Should I get an X-ray?
