I've been feeling run-down and had some tender/achy skin on my right side, along with reflux and diarrhea. My primary doctor recommended starting Valtrex for potential shingles, but now I have a faint red pinprick rash all over my stomach. Am I allergic to the Valtrex, and what should I do about the potential shingles? Additionally, I'm concerned about the skin sensitivity on my side and whether it could be related to a pinched nerve or other internal issues like liver, gall bladder, or pancreas problems.

It sounds like you might be experiencing a drug allergy to Valtrex, as the rash you're describing is...

I took 45 ml of milk of magnesia and am concerned about potential electrolyte imbalance. Is there a risk of this happening with the dose I took, and how long will it take for the medicine to be out of my system?

I've been experiencing hearing issues, along with a dry cough, sinus problems, fatigue, and jaw popping. I've been taking Cephalexin for my ears, but I'm still having trouble hearing. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

My 17-year-old daughter has been experiencing intermittent nausea since recovering from Covid three years ago. She has been tested for food allergies and reacts to oats, dairy, and soy. She has eliminated these from her diet but still experiences nausea, especially with dairy. She sometimes wakes up nauseous without having eaten. What could be causing this and what steps should we take?

I want to know if my cut is infected. I have had the wound for 2 days now and it seems stable. I am 23 years old, using Polysporin and alcohol solutions to clean it, and taking malaria pills. I am currently in Thailand where the water is not the cleanest. Is it okay to shower with this wound or any other open wounds?
