My husband had a syncope episode today (T-LOC). He has no other symptoms, but his father died suddenly due to cardiac arrest. Should he be seen by a doctor, and what should we do if he experiences another episode?

When conducting a Smear Review as part of a CBC (Complete Blood Count) test, why might the lab not comment on the white blood cells (WBCs) if their differential count is normal? Is it safe to assume that no problems are present if there is no mention of WBC morphology in the Smear Review?

I caught a cold last week and started coughing. After 3 days, it got better, but then it started again within 2 days. The cough is dry, with not much mucus, but I feel coughing sensations when I breathe, and it's hurting. I tried honey and bromphen/dextrimetho, and had a glass of beer today. What can I do for this dry cough?

How do I differentiate between new sensations/discomforts that are part of the healing process after umbilical hernia repair and symptoms that warrant contacting my surgeon? Additionally, is it normal for the repaired area to appear slightly more protruded after a full meal?

My husband has had swelling for 5 days on the left side of his face, primarily his eye and lip. We live in northern Wisconsin where there are many insects this time of year including flies, mosquitoes, and bees. He doesn’t remember being bit, but he does have what appears to be a bite behind his ear. The swelling started slowly, but progressed and hasn’t started to go down. He’s tried ice and Benadryl at night. He has no fever and feels fine except for the swelling discomfort. Anything more we can do? How long can this last? Thank you.
