My husband has a red bump-like area under his arm that feels superficial and tender. I'm concerned it might be a lymph node and he has cancer. Could it be a clogged sweat pore due to recent painting and sweating? Additionally, I suffer from extreme anxiety, particularly health anxiety, which has worsened after my mother's death 20 years ago. I'm on Lexapro 20mg but still experience severe anxiety, dizziness, and shakiness. Could my symptoms be from residual anxiety or hypoglycemia, especially since I take Mounjaro for weight loss and sometimes skip meals? Could not eating dinner affect my blood pressure medication (Amlodipine 5mg) and cause dizziness? Could this dizziness be related to a brain tumor?

I was hit by a car and suffered a broken tibia. I had surgery to remove plates and screws, and later cracked one of the healed bones from the initial injury. The swelling has not completely gone down, but it has decreased. I am partially weight-bearing and the pain is stabbing, but less severe. Can I be considered healed even though the swelling is not completely gone?

I think I have an infection. I've had a thick white discharge for almost a week now, and I'm experiencing pain during sexual intercourse and dryness. I'm 27 years old, not on any medications, and had a miscarriage in May. I've had recurrent yeast infections in the past, and I'm due for my menses in 2 days. What could this be and what should I do?

I’ve been having sinus issues for two weeks and am currently on doxycycline for a sinus infection. The symptoms seemed to improve but have worsened again, with increased sinus pressure. I’m taking Allegra 180 mg and budesonide with a nasal rinse. What additional steps can I take to relieve the congestion and pain?

I have right lower groin pain that started about a week ago and comes and goes. The pain is ache-like, and I'm currently using ibuprofen. I'm 26 years old and on birth control. What could be causing this pain and what can I do about it?

My throat is itchy and the back of my tongue has a burning sensation. It feels like something is stuck in my throat when I swallow, but it's not painful, just itchy and annoying. I don’t have a fever or other symptoms, and it's been about a week since it started. My throat looks a little yellow and red, and it feels swollen. I have GERD and take Protonix. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?
