I’m having an allergic reaction to tramadol. The reaction started 2 days ago with crazy itching over my entire body. I’ve been using tramadol for 3 days and I’m 22 years old. I had my second ankle surgery recently, which involved opening my knee and hip, working on the nerves in my foot, cutting my bone to graft cartilage, and screwing it back together. Can you prescribe something else for pain relief instead of tramadol?

I have Ménière's disease. I am a 65-year-old woman. My left arm and left shoulder have been causing pain and numbness for about 12 hours. I am otherwise feeling fine. What could be causing this numbness and pain, and should I be concerned?

I have been experiencing intermittent diarrhea, gas, sulfur burps, and abdominal discomfort for a while. The diarrhea is watery and lasts a couple of days. I am 53 years old, diabetic, and take Metformin, Glipizide, Humalog insulin, and Tresiba insulin. I have acid reflux and have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy that showed no issues. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to manage them?

I’ve booked a hotel in Tulum, Mexico, with a large pile of construction materials (like after demolition) right in front of my window. I know asbestos is not banned in Mexico. I’m staying for 10 nights. Am I breathing in asbestos, and how dangerous is it?

I have low iron and constant chest pain for the last 3 days. I've been taking iron pills, drinking prune juice, and eating prunes. Will these help increase my iron levels quickly and alleviate the chest pain?

I had Fraxel dual 10 days ago. Things looked perfectly normal by day 7. Last night, I put some eye-only makeup on and had a few drinks at a party. This morning, my face is red and feels like it’s burning, and my eyes and eyelids are swollen. I’m worried about a skin infection or something. Is this normal?
