My 12-year-old son was told today that someone on his cricket team has chickenpox. They noticed the rash yesterday, and he trained with the infected person two days prior. He is immunized and has a representative cricket game in about 10 days. Can he play if he develops the rash by then, and is there any antibiotic he can take to ward it off?

I think I have tonsillitis. My tonsils look misshapen, red, a bit swollen, and have a few white spots. I had pain when swallowing last Thursday, but it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm 21 years old and not using any medications. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Can myasthenia gravis cause a significant balance problem? If so, is it my biggest symptom of MG, or could it be an inner ear problem?

I have had an external hemorrhoid that has been hurting for about one week now. Last night, I noticed some blood. I have been using Preparation H for about a week now, but I still have some blood when I wipe myself. I also have lichen sclerosus, for which I have been using a steroid cream. Is this normal, and what should I be doing?

My blood pressure has been high today, averaging around 150/90, and I have a headache around my eyes. Is this dangerous short-term, and could it be related to my blood pressure?
