My son is experiencing tinnitus (hissing, whistling, ringing sounds) and excessive blinking. He had a grommet inserted a long time ago. We first noticed the blinking around November last year, shortly after an ear drop incident and when he mentioned the floor seemed to be jumping. Could these symptoms be related to inner ear damage, and have you seen excessive blinking associated with inner ear issues before?

I'm feeling a bit weird down there since my periods stopped yesterday. I'm 25 years old, and about three weeks ago, I had a yeast infection that I treated with over-the-counter medication. The infection cleared, but since the last two days, there have been some strange sensations, like contractions or a bit of itching, but no discharge or swelling. What could be the issue and what should I do?

My 49-year-old, otherwise healthy husband has new onset right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain that seems to be worsening. He has no fever and the pain is not radiating. When did the pain start, is it localized, what type of pain is it, and what medications is he currently using?

I was recently hospitalized with a pulmonary embolism and a blood clot was found in my leg. I've only been out of the hospital for 2 to 3 weeks. Tonight, my foot is swollen, red, and sore, and I'm worried about blood clots. Do I need to go to the ER?

I am a 36-year-old male who had mild COVID-19 9 months ago and still has antibodies. My work is forcing me to get a COVID-19 vaccine, and I am considering either the Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer vaccine. I am concerned about potential side effects such as blood clots from Johnson & Johnson and heart inflammation from Pfizer, given my family history. Given my natural immunity, should I be worried about getting either vaccine, and which one should I choose?
