I am having difficulty taking the pep pills at the time I had initially started. Is it possible for me to change it to a most convenient time for me?

If I feel like I have norovirus coming, is there anything I can do to prevent or alleviate the symptoms? My girlfriend has it and I think I might have it too.

I just donated plasma and suspect that the needle made a second puncture in my vein, causing some cells to be pumped into the tissues outside of the vein. My arm is stiff, has slight pain, and lots of pressure. Should I seek medical attention or will this clear up on its own? Are there any potential complications? What should I do for treatment?

I have been experiencing nausea at night for the last couple of days, following a stomach bug episode 2-3 weeks ago. I have a history of acid reflux but the nausea is not related to lying down. I have had a normal metabolic panel and an abdominal X-ray showing a mild stool burden predominantly on the right. My doctor suggested Miralax for constipation, which I don't feel is my issue. What could be causing my nausea and are there any self-care measures I can take to alleviate it?

I am an 81-year-old female with a history of severe upper respiratory infections (URIs) for the past 6 years. I had a severe reaction to a pneumonia shot 12 years ago, which included swelling, yellowing of the arm, and feeling generally unwell. My doctor advised against another pneumonia shot due to the risk of adverse effects. However, I am concerned about the risk of a more serious URI potentially leading to death. What are the risks and benefits of the new two-injection pneumonia vaccine, and what other options do I have to protect myself from severe URIs?
