I am experiencing bloody stool, took Imodium multiple times yesterday, and now have a sore throat, sore tongue, and a lump on the left side of my throat. I am a 73-year-old male with a history of heart disease medication, shortness of breath, and diabetes. What should I do?

I have received my blood test results after a thyroid ultrasound and am concerned about any potential issues. I am waiting for my doctor to return my call, but I would like an opinion as soon as possible. I am 35 years old, not currently on any medications, and had large kidney stones removed two years ago, with sizes of 31mm, 25mm, and 21mm.

My AST level is 644 and my ALT level is 300. My LGH-5 level came back high, and my urine is dark. I have asthma and do not use alcohol or drugs. I am 33 years old, weigh 128 pounds, and experience nausea, but no fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, pain, or jaundice. Hepatitis A, B, and C tests, as well as HIV, are negative. What could be causing these elevated liver enzyme levels, and what further tests should I undergo?

I have a persistent cough producing mucus, worsened by exposure to the Duluth MN Synagogue fire smoke on September 9. I've had multiple medical tests, including X-rays and CT scans, which have come back negative. I've been prescribed an inhaler and antibiotics, but I'm looking for more natural remedies to manage my symptoms. What non-pharmaceutical options can help alleviate my cough and sore throat?

I have a bump on my labia majora/groin area. I believe it's either an ingrown hair or pimple. What could it be and how can I treat it? There is no itching or pain.
