I walked on a sea urchin while snorkeling, resulting in about 15 spikes embedded in the bottom of my left foot. The spikes are still present despite attempts to remove them.

I am worried that my kids might need rabies shots after being jumped on by a dog that had a strong skunk smell, possibly from a recent encounter with a skunk. The dog did not bite or scratch them, but I am concerned about potential exposure to skunk saliva or if the dog had been eating a dead skunk. Should my kids get rabies shots?

I have a painful lump on my left side above the hip that is making it hard for me to move. I've had it for a while and it's gotten worse recently. What could this lump be and what should I do about it?

My chest has been hurting for days now. The pain comes and goes, is sharp and achy, and feels like I can't take a deep breath. I'm 27 years old and have a dry cough. Eating is also a problem, and my throat is sore. The pain is on the top of my chest. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?
