My baby's temperature is reading low, with a temporal temperature of 95.7 and an underarm temperature of 94.3. He doesn't feel cold and is sleeping, but he feels a bit cold when awake and is a bit lazier than usual. Do I need to bring him in, or could I be taking the temperature wrong?

Just a few minutes ago I filled my essential oil diffuser with water and lavender oil. The water was from a bottle that has been sitting still for days, however the water in the bottle was from my tap which comes from the county. It has sat for days at room temperature, though I don't see any visible murkiness or growth of any kind. After pouring it into my diffuser I breathed through my nose swiftly right above the diffuser to make sure it was emitting the vapor. Could I have naegleria fowleri?

I have stomach cramps, black stools, and diarrhea, along with nausea, chills, and extreme tiredness. The cramping started yesterday morning with frequent diarrhea, and it has improved today. I am currently taking metformin, glyburide, Prilosec, aspirin, lisinopril, norvasc, carafate, Tylenol, advil, and recently started GOLO release for diet. I am 58 years old and had a stomach flu in late April. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

Why is a uterine prolapse not detected while lying down? I had a uterine prolapse before becoming pregnant. I work in an understaffed urgent care with high levels of stress due to having to do the work of 4 people. Would bed rest be the safest route until I can be further evaluated or see a specialist?

I have a sharp pain in my upper back, right side, especially when I lift my right arm or twist to the right. The pain is constant when I move but stops when I sit or relax. It started two days ago and seems to be getting worse. I am taking back pain medication (ASA 500mg, methocarbamol 400mg, and acetylsalicylic acid 500mg every 4 hours). I am a 47-year-old female with type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and high blood pressure. The pain started suddenly while walking, affecting movement, and is located from the middle spine to the right side, just under the shoulder blade. There is no tingling or numbness. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
