I was in Ecuador and have had stomach issues since then, including diarrhea and frequent bowel movements. What is the best antibiotic to take, and is it possible to take less than a full week's worth if necessary?

I've been feeling sick for over a year with flu-like symptoms that started after getting tattoos. I've tried various medications without success and noticed occasional itching on one of my tattoos. Could my symptoms be related to the tattoos, and if not, what other factors could be causing them?

I am pretty sure I have an autoimmune disease but I feel like I’m just falling through the cracks in the Canadian healthcare system. Here is the history - multiple pneumothoraces from 15-23, multiple lung surgeries, nerve pain leading to hospitalizations, recurring Covid infections causing cytokine storms and pneumonia, and various debilitating symptoms including swollen lymph nodes, temperature control issues, mouth peeling, cankers, chills, body aches, joint pain, dry mouth and eyes, stuffy nose, nose sores, random rashes, a seizure, irregular heavy periods with clots, positive ANA with a nucleolar pattern, high thyroid antibodies, low lymphocytes and iron, and a pituitary tumor. Most symptoms improve with prednisone. How can I get healthcare professionals to take my symptoms seriously and what further tests or treatments should I pursue?

I sprained my ankle 3 weeks ago and it's still hurting and getting worse. I've used the RICE method and had X-rays, which showed no fractures, just a sprain. What should I do next, and could I potentially need a cast or surgery if the MRI doesn't look good?

I did a urine test and these are my results. I have restricted my carbs. I need to know if these are normal and if I have mild UTI according to this test result. Specifically, I want to know if my bilirubin and leukocytes levels are normal, and how low carb affects protein in urine. Will drinking more water help? Are my protein levels high or slightly high?

I have developed flesh-colored bumps on my face about 6 months ago, which are gradually getting worse and starting to itch. I am unsure if it's sebaceous hyperplasia or something else. I have tried using a BHA exfoliant and recently started a vitamin C serum, 1.5% salicylic acid, and AlphaRet retinol, but the bumps are not improving. What could these bumps be, and what products or treatments should I use to eliminate them?
