My white blood cell count (WBC) was 14.3, which is slightly high. What could this indicate, especially given that I'm coughing up green mucus and have a severe headache?

My wife's potassium level is high at 5.4. She is not on any medications, and her creatinine level is slightly low at 0.67. She has no history of kidney issues, but her last potassium check in 2018 was 3.9. What could be causing this and should we be concerned?

I have a bump under my tongue that I think is an inflamed taste bud. My dad, who is an oncologist, said it's normal anatomy, but I wanted a second opinion. Can you provide a diagnosis based on the picture I sent?

I have 2 boils under my armpits which burn a lot. I used a new hair removal cream and then shaved it off, after which it started itching and then these boils happened. It's been burning for 3 days and I've been using hot water once a day for relief. Is there anything else I can do and also, am I at risk of hydradenitis?

I am an 89-year-old male diagnosed with Alzheimer's in October 2016. Over the past few months, I have experienced more active symptoms. I have much information but am anxious to focus on the most valuable aspects. How long have I had Alzheimer's, have I used any medication for it, have I seen a doctor recently, and are there any other medical history details the doctor should know, particularly ongoing memory issues?
