My husband took a bite of hardshell tacos and got a piece stuck in his throat, which then went down and caused coughing and a small amount of blood. He is now experiencing pain when taking deep breaths, initially around his breastbone but now on his right side under his rib cage. Should he go to the hospital, and how will they be able to diagnose and treat his condition?

Does this look like ringworm on the left side of my finger? I had a wart removed that has come back on the right after wearing a ring on that finger through summer. The skin seemed to have dried completely out where the ring was before the wart came back. On the left side, this circular rash/raw area appeared over time. It is scaly and since I’ve been washing my hands a lot and using hand sanitizer, I feel like it is much more irritated and is now kind of warm to the touch.

I have been experiencing itchy rectum for about 4 months after going to the toilet (#2). I thoroughly clean myself, but the itchiness persists. I have not used any medication or seen a doctor for this issue. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the itchiness?

My 14-year-old daughter was on Depo-Provera for around a year and stopped in August due to lack of insurance. Since then, her periods have become prolonged (16 days without stopping), leading to fatigue, anxiety, and emotional instability. She recently had a UTI and is not sleeping or eating well, which is affecting her school performance and increasing her anxiety. Her tiredness has been getting worse, and she occasionally takes low doses of melatonin, which sometimes causes headaches. She is generally healthy with a few allergies and a family history of female cancer and emphysema. What can we do to manage her condition until we can get her to a doctor in December?
