My 94-year-old mother had a sudden nosebleed, described as a 'gusher', with lots of blood and clots expelled from one nasal passage. She feels okay, with no headache, nausea, or pain. What could be the cause of this nosebleed and what should I look out for?

My daughter, aged 27, has experienced two episodes of diarrhea three weeks apart, both occurring only in the afternoon and lasting for three days each. The second episode also included fatigue and aches. Could this be a parasite with a 21-day cycle, and what treatment steps should we take?

I have been having diarrhea for the past two days, totaling 22 times in 48 hours. I experience abdominal pain before each episode, with stool being mostly liquid and sometimes loose, often containing mucus. I also have light stomach ache, nausea, and have noticed blood in my stool for the last 5 episodes. I have not been eating much, only water and a little toast. I took Imodium to help me go to school, and while I feel better, I still have occasional urges to go to the toilet. Should I go see a doctor for this?

Can you tell me if there is a new treatment for Barrett's esophagus? I thought I read something about a new treatment that freezes the pre-cancer spots. I am 82 years old and am quite anxious. Thank you.
