I was bitten by an unseen insect on June 15. Today, June 20, I still have swelling, redness, and hardness on my bottom calves near my ankles. The sites are hot to the touch. I'm 68 years old and currently taking Humira, Synthroid, female hormones, and ibuprofen as needed for arthritis. Should I be concerned about the insect bite, and what should I do to treat it?

I have been experiencing constant coughing with phlegm, loss of appetite, night sweats, and some tightness in my chest for 5 days. I am taking day and night cold and flu tablets, and I have had night fever and shortness of breath. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I hit the top of my head on a car 3 months ago. Since then, I've experienced soreness and tenderness on my scalp when touched, which returns after a slight massage. My doctor prescribed gabapentin, but it didn't help and I couldn't tolerate it. There's no rash, headaches, or other issues, but the soreness persists. What could be causing this tenderness, and is it related to anxiety?

I think I have a chest infection. I have been in bed for two days with symptoms including a sore head, sore ears, sore throat, sore chest, and coughing with greenish mucus turning yellow. I am 54 years old and have been using herbal remedies like vitamin C, echinacea, lemon, and honey. I have a medical history of spots on my lungs being monitored since a right helecolectomy in 2018. What should I do until I can see a doctor next week?

I got my biopsy results from my doctor, which mention 'pancreatic heterotopia.' My doctor said everything is normal, but I'm concerned. Is this serious, and does it increase my risk of cancer?
