My 10-year-old daughter fell off her pony in a field, and her lower back hurts. Should I put a cold pack on it? The pain started at 5:10 today and comes and goes like a wave. It's a dull, achy pain, and she hasn't experienced any numbness, muscle weakness, or increased fatigue. There are no other medical issues to note.

I have stomach burn after eating certain foods, especially meats and after drinking alcohol, which gets worse at night. This has been happening for over 3 years, and while changing my diet has helped, the issue persists with certain foods. I am 34 years old and not currently using any medications. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

I have pressure on the side of my jaw/behind my ear, specifically on my left side, which has been a concern for two days. I am 43 years old, using Dexalant and Ozempic, and I am anemic. What could this be, and should I be concerned about flying in a couple of days?

I have been experiencing diarrhea and vomiting all day. The diarrhea comes and goes, with episodes every 4 hours today after being more frequent last night. I have also experienced nausea, fatigue, and bloating. I am 67 years old, on high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis medications, and received a shot for osteoporosis last week. I have not taken any medications for the diarrhea. Should I seek immediate medical care or wait a couple of days?
