I was tested positive for chlamydia and gonorrhea. I completed my treatment, which included a painful shot and antibiotics, but I still have symptoms such as itching and a small lump in the rectum area, which feels like hemorrhoids. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

I had a UTI and got antibiotics for it. The symptoms got better, but they are back with burning after I pee. I also woke up feeling nauseous and am worried about potential kidney involvement. What should I do?

If my urine test was light with oxycodone due to drinking a lot of water and taking penicillin, will my pain management doctor prescribe me my usual oxycodone this month?

I have a very serious rare brain infection that feels like knives are cutting into my skull. I've gone to a neurologist and primary care doctor, but the neurologist doesn't deal with infectious diseases. I have a stiff neck and blurry vision, and this has been going on for a long time. What should I do?

My dog jumped onto the couch and her pounce was stopped by my nose, causing it to become purple and swollen. It has been like this for four days. Should I go to the ER?

I am concerned about potential pancreatic issues due to six weeks of abdominal and back pain, constipation, sensitivity to spicy foods, and a slight weight loss while on a keto diet. My CBC was good, total bilirubin was 1.2, and other liver enzymes were normal. An ultrasound was done but results will take five days. I am 60 years old with a BMI of 27, good health, and have had IBS with diarrhea in the past. No nausea, vomiting, or fever. A CT scan was denied by insurance for now. What should I do next?
