I’m a 21-year-old male with chronic laryngitis due to acid reflux. I've been on omeprazole and steroids for three weeks with no improvement. My ENT doctor said the inflammation is mild and going down, but I'm still experiencing hoarseness. How long will this condition last, and why can't my doctor give me a specific time frame for recovery?

I feel very hopeless and have lost hope in medication for depression. I've tried several medications like Prozac, Effexor, Trintellix, and Wellbutrin, but none have worked. I'm currently taking Wellbutrin for two weeks with no improvement. I've been dealing with this for at least 7 years. I'm scared and don't know what to do. What are my options for treatment, and should I consider ECT therapy?

I have a 12-year-old daughter experiencing cold/flu symptoms, including high fever (103-105 degrees), cough, chills, nausea, and diarrhea. Her breathing is okay, and she recently tested for asthma but has no diagnosis yet. Her brother has been coughing for about a week. At what point should I bring her to the hospital, and what treatment should I administer?

I’ve had a deep pain in my left arm for about 12 hours and I’m worried this could be my heart. I’ve also felt something odd with my breathing, been anxious, had stomach issues, felt nervous with a fast heartbeat, and my cholesterol is high. Do these symptoms indicate a heart issue?

I have blood clots in my chest and lung, and I had an accident at work resulting in three blood bleeds in my head. My ear has blood blockage, and my throat keeps blocking my breathing. I've been in a 10-day coma, spent 3 weeks in bed with no bathroom or tests, and recently received inadequate medical care in the emergency room. My condition has worsened, making it harder to breathe, and I'm struggling to get help. What can I do to improve my situation?
