My son stepped on a screw about a month ago, which went through his shoe into his foot. He received a tetanus shot and it initially healed, but now it's hurting again with slight swelling and no redness. He soaked it, and the scab over the puncture site softened, but the area is still sore. Should he get an X-ray, and how can we determine if he needs antibiotics?

I have had diarrhea since Wednesday, which is very runny. I have a sore lower right side and have been sleeping a lot. I am drinking plenty of water. How can I help cure it?

Hello. I just tested positive for COVID-19 with very minor symptoms. I have access to Ivermectin 4 mg tablets. Should I start taking them now? Additionally, how long should I quarantine and should I get a PCR test as a backup?

I was injured when my left breast was caught between an electric gate and a pylon, causing it to turn black and blue, and now it's bright red and somewhat sore. How long have you had the soreness? Is this stable or getting worse? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know? Can I use heat or ice on my breast?

Can Flonase increase anxiety? I only took it for two days and feel way more anxiety daily. I'm also experiencing dizziness. Is it worth sticking it out for 2 weeks, the time it said to work, or should I stop due to these side effects?

I'm having horrible headaches, pain behind my eyes, sparkles and flashing lights, wavy lines, dizziness, neck pain, nausea, tingling and numbness, and my scalp is pretty tender. I'm 17 years old and have been experiencing these symptoms for about 2 weeks. This is the first time I've had problems like this, and I have no history of headache conditions. The headache comes and goes, is localized on the side of my head but started in the front, and I also have a swollen eyelid on the same side. No recent traumas, no known medical conditions, and I haven't seen a doctor about this. I'm worried and have bad anxiety about this. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
