I went to the dentist last week and they saw pus coming out of my wisdom tooth and prescribed antibiotics to pull the tooth. Will antibiotics fix the issue? Additionally, I have been experiencing stiffness and weird feeling in my legs. Is this related to the infection? Also, my legs are better but my hip and stomach on the right side hurt when I move. Do I use heat or cold for this pain? Is the pain more from walking in heels or from the infection?

I've been experiencing a sensation like pins or needles on the top and sometimes the sides of my head about four times a week for over a year. I had a CAT scan in May which was fine, and I have hypothyroidism and take hydrazaline for hypertension. What could this sensation be and is there a treatment to alleviate the discomfort?

I have yellow or brown stool that sometimes floats for a few seconds then sinks, along with constant dull upper abdominal pain between my breastbone and belly button. My lab work and imaging were normal. What could be wrong with me?

I have had an earache for 2 hours. I am 18 years old and not using any medications. There is no pressing pain, and I have not tried anything yet. Do you have any recommendations for a hotel room remedy for earache?

Good afternoon! I went to urgent care today for pain on the right side of my back, upper quadrant, and behind my rib cage. The RN diagnosed it as a strained muscle but also did a urine test. The urine test came out fine. I’m curious what the RN was looking for in the urine test?

I have had a bad cough for a few months and recently had a chest X-ray to rule out fluid in the lungs. The findings showed no acute abnormality, but there are chronic interstitial changes with mild scarring. I am a 54-year-old male who never smoked. What does this mean and what could be the cause?
