My son occasionally gets migraines and I gave him Motrin about 20 minutes ago, but it isn't helping his headache. Can I give him Excedrin Migraine? He is 14 years old, 176 pounds, and 5 feet 10 inches tall. He hasn't had Motrin in months, but he just had football practice and a long day at school. He took 2 caplets of 200 mg Motrin at 6:50 PM. He is currently lying down with a washcloth on his head, and I suspect the headache might have intensified because he had not eaten since his school lunch. He has seen a doctor about his headaches before, and his primary care physician recommended taking ibuprofen at the onset of a headache.

My mother is on holiday from the USA and has run out of her prescribed medication, Rosuvastatin calcium 10MG, which she takes before bedtime. I have been to my local pharmacy but they could not help as it is a prescribed medication. Could you advise on an over-the-counter alternative or any other solution?

I have two scenarios involving potential HIV exposure. In the first, a friend with risky sexual behavior spat on my face, including my lips and mouth, where I had small cuts. In the second, a coworker with a bleeding finger touched my neck, which had skin irritation but no open cuts. In both scenarios, I am concerned about the risk of HIV transmission, especially if the individuals involved are HIV positive and have high viral loads. Should I be worried, and should I get tested?

I have insomnia and have tried all the herbal remedies. I don’t want to try ambien. I am a 60-year-old female, a nurse working part-time at an ASC, with a history of hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, and a little high-strung. I had breast cancer, receptor positive, so I can’t take estrogen. I am more anxious than depressed and not on any medications. What else can I try for my insomnia?
