I am having a colonoscopy at 7am this morning. Last night at 7pm, I took 1 sachet of Pico Salax and it started working at 12:30 a.m. I am supposed to take the same again at 4 this morning, finishing my drinking of water at 5 a.m. I am still going to the bathroom from the first time and need to know if I should still take the second dose. Additionally, I did not take any of my daily meds last night and took 2 Dulcolax Tablets at 3 p.m. yesterday for the first time. I am 67 years old and do not have high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart problems.

I was jumping on a jumpboard in a Pilates class and experienced increasing hip/upper leg pain the next day. It's now extremely painful, and I can't put pressure on it. What do you think happened, and what should I do for recovery?

I’m a former police officer diagnosed with PTSD. I can’t sleep due to anxiety, and I've been up for 2 days. I was prescribed alprazolam years ago for anxiety and sleep. I haven't seen a doctor about anxiety recently. Can a doctor help me?

My 12-month-old son has yellowish discharge coming from his ear. He has had cold symptoms like a runny nose and mild cough for a week. The GP prescribed antibiotics last night, but I'm wondering if a watch and wait approach is okay for the next 24-48 hours. He has no temperature and isn't miserable, doesn't seem to be in any pain.
