I ate about 600 mg of Turmeric two nights ago and have experienced diarrhea and slight yellowing in the corner of my eyes. Is this yellowing a normal effect of consuming turmeric, or could it be a sign of something more serious like jaundice?

My doctor prescribed me Percocet 10/325 and said to take 1-2 every 4 hours. I have taken 2 at 8:00 am, 2 at 2:00 pm, and 2 at 8:00 pm, and I am still in so much pain. Can I take two more? The paperwork attached to the prescription from the pharmacy says to not take more than 6 in 24 hours, but the instructions on the bottle say 1-2 every 4 hours. I am unable to contact the pharmacy over the weekend.

My son occasionally gets migraines and I gave him Motrin about 20 minutes ago, but it isn't helping his headache. Can I give him Excedrin Migraine? He is 14 years old, 176 pounds, and 5 feet 10 inches tall. He hasn't had Motrin in months, but he just had football practice and a long day at school. He took 2 caplets of 200 mg Motrin at 6:50 PM. He is currently lying down with a washcloth on his head, and I suspect the headache might have intensified because he had not eaten since his school lunch. He has seen a doctor about his headaches before, and his primary care physician recommended taking ibuprofen at the onset of a headache.
