My son, aged 10, had diarrhea and fever, and has been on antibiotics (amoxicillin) for 7 days. The fever and stomach pains stopped initially but have returned, and the diarrhea has continued intermittently. What should I do?

I have been on three different antibiotics for my ears, but they are still stopped up and I am having a hard time hearing at work. I also have profound hearing loss and wear hearing aids bilaterally. I have been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, and my doctor prescribed an antihistamine, which I don't think will help much. I am struggling with this for almost two months now, and I am anxious about anything surgically related to my ears. What can be done to improve my hearing and alleviate my anxiety?

Is there a method to restore a 'photogenic' memory that was damaged due to an explosion and lightning? This memory was genetic and allowed me to automatically memorize everything I saw, read, etc., without needing memory tricks. I never had to study and excelled in academics and the military due to this capability. Now, using visual memory is not as effective, and I have to study, which causes headaches. I want to restore or fix this memory so I can return to academia as expected.

I had sex with someone last Sunday and the condom broke, so I took an emergency contraceptive. However, this past Friday I was experiencing ovulation pain on my right side. Unfortunately, I had sex again and we used the pull out method. I've been cramping on the same side since that day, and the pain has also traveled to my lower back on the same side. My period hasn't come, and it feels like my period is coming in without any blood. I need help.

Can I speak to someone regarding a cat scratch in Indonesia? My 7-year-old son was lightly scratched by a cat at a restaurant in Ubud, Bali. We instantly washed the scratch with soap and water and applied antiseptic. We are worried about rabies from the cat scratch.

I’m having stomach issues including gastritis, hiatal hernia, and GERD, along with constipation and incomplete bowel movements. My poops are thin, soft, and form rings in the toilet. I’m on Miralax and Benefiber, but still can’t fully empty my bowels. I’m also experiencing constant upper and middle abdominal pain, bloating, and back pain. What could be causing these symptoms and the unusual poop pattern?
