Hello, my 20-month-old appears to be scratching her throat with her tongue. Is there any type of baby Benadryl or over-the-counter medication I can administer? I keep a humidifier on due to Colorado being so dry. Additionally, she has some acid reflux issues.

I had oral sex with a man and tested negative for HIV at 4 weeks and 6 weeks. I'm experiencing severe anxiety and a slight fever, but no respiratory symptoms. Should I be concerned about HIV, and should I retest at 8 weeks or later?

I have B cell lymphoma. Five months ago, I had a mass removed from my lower lung lobe, and no infected cells were found in seven lymph nodes. Last week, a PET scan showed infected B cells in my lung, and I am going to be treated with a targeted monoclonal antibody. What kind of outcome can be expected from this treatment, and how much better is it compared to no treatment at all? I have not had any medication because they thought I was in remission. Additionally, I have two stents in my heart but am a young 83 and totally independent.
