I have a sore throat and when I swallow my ear hurts. My sore throat started last week, and I've been taking flu medication and Advil for nasal and cold symptoms. I had flu symptoms initially but am better now, except for the throat and ear pain. I also have year-round allergies and am on medication for that. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the pain?

I hit my hand and have a raised bruise on my hand about 1.5 inches and purple. It is raised pretty high. When did the bruise first appear? Have you used any medication for this? Have you seen a dermatologist about the bruise? Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I have experienced pain and tests showed blood in my stool. My CBC results are not normal, and I have high globulin levels. I'm worried about the possibility of cancer. What are the risks of this being cancer based on my blood results?
