I am concerned about potential pancreatic issues due to six weeks of abdominal and back pain, constipation, sensitivity to spicy foods, and a slight weight loss while on a keto diet. My CBC was good, total bilirubin was 1.2, and other liver enzymes were normal. An ultrasound was done but results will take five days. I am 60 years old with a BMI of 27, good health, and have had IBS with diarrhea in the past. No nausea, vomiting, or fever. A CT scan was denied by insurance for now. What should I do next?

I woke up with a swollen lip with no pain. I take blood pressure medication, had a beer and chips last night, and drank a lot of water today, which is making me jittery. What could be causing the swelling, and what should I do about it?

I have a 6-year-old boy who has been experiencing bright red blood in his stool during bowel movements. This is a repeating issue. His stool is not hard, and he has not had any past illnesses. He has not been on any medications, and no tests have been conducted. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I wanted someone to take a look at my throat and see if my tonsils look normal. On the right side behind my tonsil is a little weird spot. It does not hurt or bleed, but I found it one day when removing a tonsil stone. Is it something I should be concerned about?
