I’m 18, male. I started vaping and was vaping a lot for about a week. I had a tight throat and feeling of a lump in my throat for about a week and a half, then it stopped. I was vaping a little yesterday and I got the tight throat feeling again. It usually lasts for an hour and then stops, it may happen like 5 times a day. I don’t have any other symptoms or previous illness. I didn’t consult with a doctor and do not take any medicine. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I'm having trouble with my penis. I've asked my field doctors about it, and they gave me a resolution that helped but not fully. I wanted to get a professional opinion. Have you seen a doctor about this? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I had cancer removed from my bladder about 2 months ago. I am still experiencing pain in my penis and have to urinate every 15-20 minutes. I feel like I have to go all the time. Is there anything I can do?

I've had diarrhea for 5 weeks after exposure with a sex worker. I've experienced headaches, fatigue, and oral thrush. I've taken a 4th-generation HIV test at 30 days, done stool culture, urine culture, blood tests, and hepatitis A + C testing (vaccinated for B), and found only a small E. coli infection treated with antibiotics, but the diarrhea persists. Do you think I have HIV? And does my tongue look normal?

My son was throwing up every 15 minutes for six hours and then he was able to drink half a glass of water but threw it all up again. He is running in the state cross country meet on Saturday. How can I get him more fluids so he's not dehydrated? Should I take him to the doctor? Should I get him an IV?

I have an ongoing fatigue issue that my primary care physician attributes to anxiety, but my psychiatrist and I believe the anxiety isn't sufficient to explain the fatigue. I've had an endocrinological workup, tried testosterone injections, iron supplementation, and vitamin D supplementation, and currently take Synthroid 75mcg daily. My fatigue seems easily stimulated and I'm seeking a comprehensive understanding of potential causes and effective treatments.
