I had the flu really bad last week for the second time in a month, and now my chest hurts in the middle. I'm constantly coughing and if I walk just a little ways, I'm out of breath. I've been dealing with the cough for about 2 weeks now and it's not getting better. I also experience shortness of breath and sometimes get lightheaded from coughing so hard. I'm overweight but never had issues like this before in my life. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have a Pituitary Tumor that sometimes produces breast milk even though both of my children are in their teens now. I also have two nodules on my Thyroid, am always exhausted, have experienced significant weight gain, and feel like I am going crazy. Additionally, I have had multiple car accidents due to vision issues and have been in pain management for years. I am unsure where to start with my medical issues and have received conflicting advice from doctors, including one who wanted to perform surgery to remove the tumor through my nose but could not guarantee the outcome on my eyesight.

I have a white lump on the outside of my anus that hurts. I've never had a hemorrhoid before, and the only thing I can think of as to how it got there is that I just ran a 13-mile marathon. Could that have caused it to form? It's squishy, not hard.

I got bitten by a house dog last Saturday on my left hand. The wound became swollen and had pus, so I went to the hospital where they treated it with antibiotics and a tetanus shot. It's now Wednesday night, and I'm feeling pain and tenderness in my left armpit. I'm wondering if this is an infection or just inflammation due to the tetanus shot. Additionally, I've had more post-nasal drip than usual today. Could this be related to the tetanus shot, augmentin, or infection?

I have the flu and am taking Extra Strength Excedrin and Tamiflu, but I am not sleeping well. Can I take Benadryl?
