I’m having bruising-like pain in my back and bleeding when I have a bowel movement. The pain started last night and is consistent, sharp, and feels like a bruise under my skin. I also experienced a sharp pain in my side where my appendix used to be, and I have increased fatigue. I have no other medical conditions, no medications, and no history of trauma or injury. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a persistent throat rattling noise, pain in the tongue, and difficulty swallowing, which started after a sinus FESS surgery and worsened after breast cancer surgeries. My neck and chest are often red, and I have a history of silicone implants and spine degeneration. What could be causing these symptoms, and what tests or treatments should I consider?

My daughter, 18 years old, has had a cough for months after a cold. Does blowing the air conditioner all night in the room exacerbate and prolong the cough? Is it a concern to be experiencing this for such a long time?

My wife has Graves' disease and is now under control with medication. The doctors keep pushing for her to take Tepezza, but we don't feel it's necessary. We are looking for more information to see if it is necessary. Also, selenium seems to help but is it ok to take every day long term? Will her eyes return or go back a little to normal with the hormone medication helping? Additionally, has it been shown that diet, such as going gluten-free and dairy-free with a LID diet, will affect flare-ups of symptoms with Graves' disease? Is that something you know is beneficial?

What does it mean when a 12-month-old baby has a fever, diarrhea, and a developed cough for 4 days? The cough is constant and wet, and the baby has been given Motrin for the fever. The symptoms are getting worse, and the baby is not acting normally, preferring to drink and be held.

Hello, today my girlfriend and I had sex for the first time, but a very heavy bleeding occurred. We are now in the emergency room waiting for test results. The bleeding is constant, and we are both 20 years old. We drink some alcohol. What could be the cause of the bleeding, and what should we expect from the medical examination?
