My 22-month-old grandson has croup. I have some steroids that were prescribed to my 8-month-old granddaughter. Can I give him a dose, and if so, how much? The croup seems to be getting a little worse, especially at night. I have not used the steroid on him before, but I recently used it on my 8-month-old granddaughter. This croup has affected 4 out of my 6 grandchildren who have spent a lot of time together.

I have had multiple brain scans due to past head injuries, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, and medication use. I was diagnosed with Huntington's disease (CAG 48) two years ago. Can you identify any abnormalities or unhealthy areas in my brain through MRI scans, considering my history of trauma and substance use?

Our youngest son, who is 62 years old, has always been a heavy sweater but it seems to be far more excessive now. Is there anything that can be done about it?

I had gastric bypass surgery 6 weeks ago and have been experiencing severe nausea from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. Even small sips of liquids or bites of food make me feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm also constantly constipated, with painful cramps and sharp shooting pains. My surgeon has me on Zofran, phenergan, reglan, a scopalimine patch, Senekot, dulcolax, and a stool softener. I've added miralax to the mix, but it hasn't helped. Could something be wrong due to the surgery? How many days can I go without a bowel movement, and should I be worried?

I have a very bad cold with symptoms including severe congestion causing a tight head and headache, sore throat from constant coughing, slight fever, chills, and a cough. I also have a slight fever and chills. What medication can I take for these symptoms, and can I get cough syrup with codeine?
