I was hit by a car and suffered a broken tibia. I had surgery to remove plates and screws, and later cracked one of the healed bones from the initial injury. The swelling has not completely gone down, but it has decreased. I am partially weight-bearing and the pain is stabbing, but less severe. Can I be considered healed even though the swelling is not completely gone?

I think I have an infection. I've had a thick white discharge for almost a week now, and I'm experiencing pain during sexual intercourse and dryness. I'm 27 years old, not on any medications, and had a miscarriage in May. I've had recurrent yeast infections in the past, and I'm due for my menses in 2 days. What could this be and what should I do?

I’ve been having sinus issues for two weeks and am currently on doxycycline for a sinus infection. The symptoms seemed to improve but have worsened again, with increased sinus pressure. I’m taking Allegra 180 mg and budesonide with a nasal rinse. What additional steps can I take to relieve the congestion and pain?

I have right lower groin pain that started about a week ago and comes and goes. The pain is ache-like, and I'm currently using ibuprofen. I'm 26 years old and on birth control. What could be causing this pain and what can I do about it?

My throat is itchy and the back of my tongue has a burning sensation. It feels like something is stuck in my throat when I swallow, but it's not painful, just itchy and annoying. I don’t have a fever or other symptoms, and it's been about a week since it started. My throat looks a little yellow and red, and it feels swollen. I have GERD and take Protonix. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I am experiencing constant shortness of breath that has recently worsened, along with a dry cough. I am a 75-year-old male with a history of a chest infection last year and a heart stent placed in late 2021. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
