If one hears that their gene causes '1.4x increased risk of cancer,' what does it mean? Is it 40% or even 140%?

I have had mild burning in the stomach for about 5 days, coming and going. Bowel movements and appetite are normal. The pharmacist has given me reflux treatment, but it's not helping and seems to be worse a few hours after eating. I take Seretide Accuhaler daily and have recently taken minor amounts of Voltaren for an inflamed shoulder, but not for the past 5-6 days. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm on vacation with 7 other people, and I've had full ears, a mild sore throat, and a persistent deep cough for about a week. I've tried using a Netti pot, taking Allegra D and Mucinex Day, using clorosrptic sore throat spray, Riccolla cough drops, and even maxed out my dosage of Equate COUGH DM cough suppressant. Despite all these efforts, nothing seems to be helping. What can I do to alleviate my symptoms?

I've been experiencing random warm/burning sensations over the past three days on various parts of my body, including my scalp, forehead, forearms, and back. I had my wisdom teeth pulled several months ago, and the right side of my face where they were removed seems to be acting up. I also have a history of back pain and digestive issues. What could be causing these sensations?

Will Claritan (without decongestant) help to unblock ears? I have been experiencing blocked ears for about 3 weeks, diagnosed with unequal pressure in Eustachian tubes. I saw an ENT twice and was advised to let it work itself out due to my inability to tolerate steroids. My symptoms include distorted sounds, blocked ears (pressure), and diminished hearing. I am also taking quinapril, dilantin, and ibuprofen. Can I safely take Claritan and ibuprofen together, and how does an antihistamine like Claritan help with Eustachian tube dysfunction?

I was treated for chlamydia 4 months ago with one dose of azithromycin, but I've had a watery yellow discharge with no odor ever since. Could this mean I'm still infected?
