I constantly have mucus in my chest/throat, which is thick and white, and I can't cough it out easily. I have taken antibiotics and allergy medication, but they haven't helped. I also had a shot that temporarily improved the condition. What could be causing this and what further steps should I take?

I have a sprained ankle diagnosed via X-ray. It has been 3 days with black and blue swelling extending up my leg. I went to urgent care and took ASA initially, then switched to Tylenol due to bruising. The swelling is concerning me. Should I wait and see, or is there anything else I should do?

I had protected sex with a stripper last night and am scared of contracting HIV. I suffer from anxiety and take anti-depression medication. Should I be concerned about HIV, and do I need to take PrEP?

I have a sinus infection and have been experiencing a right-side headache that extends into my eye and temple. I'm concerned if this is normal or if I should be worried about having a brain tumor. I'm a 24-year-old female and have been taking Augmentin for the sinus infection.

When I shrug my shoulders, I experience a shake/instability, which is not smooth at all. During a single sit-up and while holding myself in a 'crunch' position, I feel internal trembling in my upper body that starts mild and intensifies until my entire torso is violently shaking. I also get occasional muscle spasms in my neck. The neurologist suggested it's likely stress but ordered an MRI. I'm uncertain as the symptoms have persisted for nearly two months. What could be causing these symptoms, and what further steps should I take?
