Had a massage 18 days ago where the masseuse's nasal discharge possibly containing blood got on me. No obvious cuts on my body. Afterward, I developed a sore throat lasting 14 days and got an RNA test 11 days post-massage, which was negative. Today, I noticed a red pimple-like mark on my back and am worried about HIV. Can you assess the risk and explain the symptoms?

I'm 24 years old and was told I have a mass on my liver along with fatty liver. I'm scared for liver cancer. What could the mass be and should I be worried about liver cancer?

My 3-year-old daughter has been experiencing frequent and painful constipation, going 3 to 4 days without a bowel movement. She doesn't like water much, and we've tried various remedies like Miralax, warm baths, and prune juice, but nothing has worked. She consumes chocolate milk at least twice a day and doesn't eat enough fruits and vegetables. What can be done to help her?

I have had mild bulimia (vomiting a few times a year) for the past several years after 2 years of vomiting 4 or 5 times a week. After my last purge (the 16th of August), I've had throat tightness, heartburn, and a sore upper throat. I also have an issue where sometimes, my breath gets caught in my throat, and it feels like a flutter in my chest. Is there anything I can do about this, as my insurance coverage begins in a week and a half?
