asked

My son had a CT Scan at eight months old after falling off a table and landing on his head. I was nervous and still am, and I blame myself for allowing the scan since he was not unconscious. I'm concerned about the negative information I've heard about CT Scans and the potential risks to my son. Can you provide any information or reassurance regarding this?

I got bit by a mosquito yesterday, and my hand is swollen to the point where I can't close it. I've tried ice, insect bite sprays, epsom salt soaks, and more ice, but there's no relief. What can I do to reduce the swelling and stop the itch at home, especially since I have no medical insurance?

I have had severe diarrhea and sometimes constipation, irregular periods, always feeling tired, and muscle fatigue for years. Two years ago, a test showed my thyroid was underactive, but a retest a month later was normal. Last week, my blood tests showed abnormal thyroid levels again. I have gained a lot of weight over the last two years and have been trying to lose it, but my weight fluctuates. I have been asked to repeat the blood test in April. Why is my thyroid underactive or not? Last time, I was told it could have been because I had a cold, but this time I was fine except for the symptoms I have been complaining about for the last two years. I am feeling really depressed by the whole thing now.

I just received my lab results and I have an elevated GGTP result of 103. All other labs are normal with the exception of triglycerides which are 213, total cholesterol is 255 with LDL at 138 and HDL at 75. Although I had fasted as directed, I did drink during the World Cup game. Could this be the cause of the GGTP results or should I be concerned, given that everything else was normal?
