I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing this weird burnt plastic smell and taste whenever she eats anything. It's like everything just tastes and smells like plastic to her, and raw veggies seem to be the worst. This all started about two weeks ago, and she doesn't have a cold, cough, or fever or anything like that. Now she's also feeling some pain in her left lower jaw since yesterday. Do you have any idea what this might be? Who should we talk to about getting this checked out?

Chia seeds do not directly stop periods, but they may help regulate menstrual cycles due to their high fiber and omega-3 fatty acid content. Delayed periods can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Since you've already taken Deviry and pregnancy tests are negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I've been experiencing this constant pain between my eyebrows and the upper part of my nose for over a year now. It's there all the time and feels really heavy. Even taking paracetamol doesn't seem to help. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do about it?
The persistent pain between your eyebrows and upper nose, lasting over a year, could be related to various conditions, such as sinusitis, tension headaches, migraines, or trigeminal neuralgia; since paracetamol hasn't provided relief, consult a ENT specialist
