My son was bitten by a feral cat that was released after being caught. The incident occurred in late October to early November, and the cat charity initially disagreed with the timeline and nature of the cat. Despite the charity's reassurances, I am concerned about the risk of rabies and whether my son still needs the rabies shots. Should we pursue the rabies shots given the conflicting accounts and the potential risk?

I feel like it's hard to swallow because I have drainage from my sinuses, and my throat hurts especially at night. What can I do to help with the drainage issue? Is it more serious than just drainage since it feels like I have a lump in my throat?

There’s a red mark on my arm that’s been there for years, resembling a hickey. It changes color when poked but returns to red. Is this a birthmark or something else, and can it be removed?

I'm a drug addict who relapsed after being clean for 2 months. I injected meth last night, and the syringe had blood in it that was thick and clotting. Could I die in my sleep tonight? Should I go to the hospital? Or will it be okay?

I have osteonecrosis in my mouth, diagnosed by UCSF. I think a new osteonecrosis is forming in the roof of my mouth, near my teeth, after a minor burn. I'm worried this could be worse than the first one and that I might keep developing more osteonecroses with minor mouth injuries. Could this be a new osteonecrosis, and am I at risk of developing more due to minor injuries?

There’s a red mark on my arm that’s been there for years, resembling a hickey. It changes back to my skin color when I poke it but then returns to being red. There are no symptoms like pain, itching, or tenderness. What could this be?
