My 6-year-old son banged heads with his sister and now has a tender bump on the back side of his head. He says it hurts to lay on, but he is otherwise acting fine. Is this normal, and should I be concerned?

I have a long-standing issue with heartburn and recently experienced pain on the left side of my belly button, which feels like a burning sensation/discomfort. This pain goes away within an hour after taking Peptobismo and seems to be triggered by drinking coffee with cream. I am a 35-year-old male and generally healthy. Should I be concerned about this pain, and should I see a doctor or continue managing it through diet?

Good evening. Around 3 pm I began having a headache, pressure/tightness in my face under my eyes and both sides of my jaw near the joint that opens and closes when you eat. I am also experiencing a sensation of strep throat when I swallow. I have a history of being asymptomatic strep, diagnosed earlier this year due to having had strep over four times since the end of 2019. I am afraid that I am getting strep again, however, I am unsure why I am experiencing the jaw pains. I usually don't show symptoms of strep, but I noticed a very small circle-shaped patch of white on the right side of my throat and it appears that my tonsils may be a little irritated (red/inflamed). What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have had severe pain on my ribs just under my right breast. It hurts when I press on it, when I do anything physical, when I breathe, lay in bed, turn over. Pretty much all the time! I am being treated for asthma and have been breathing well. I am coughing up gunk occasionally but other than that I’m healthy. This pain has been here for 2 weeks and nothing helps take away the pain. I’ve tried topical ointment, topical lidocaine, and every other topical ointment I can think of. I do also take hydrocodone for my hip pain and that doesn’t touch the rib pain either... please any help would be fantastic as I just can’t live with this anymore.

I have a new ECG that I sent with 5 pictures. What does it show, and is there any evidence of heart problems?
