I was prescribed Azithromycin (Z-pack) for a sinus infection and took the first two doses without reading the insert. I also took Imodium Advance for diarrhea due to my IBS. Am I at risk for any side effects from taking these medications together?

Melted plastic in the oven, is it toxic? If so, what are the health effects on myself and my children who were in the room when I opened the oven? Does it leach into the food? Should we call 911?

Three months ago, I had a bone graft to repair a non-union clavicle fracture. Although it is healing, the process is slow, and there are 'white spots' in the x-ray, with the union line still visible. Additionally, I have developed a significant skin eruption at the end of the scar on my shoulder, which the doctor believes is a metal allergy, and the plate will need to be removed in a year. How can I make the healing happen faster, and can I do something to minimize the metal reaction?

I woke up with severe dizziness that feels like fluid rushing in my head, affecting my balance and causing nausea. This has happened before, and I've been told it could be due to a tiny hole in my ear, an inner ear infection, or benign positional vertigo. What could be causing these sudden attacks of dizziness, and what can I do to manage or prevent them?
