I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with a urinary infection and her alkaline phosphatase levels are at 250. I'm not sure what treatment options would be best for her. Could you help us figure this out?

Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness
Concerns and Recommendations
- Incomplete treatment: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection.
- Blood-streaked sputum: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as:
- Pneumonia
- Bronchitis
- Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible)
- Tuberculosis (TB)
- Dizziness: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors.
- Smoking: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.

My 4-year-old son was diagnosed with glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening doctors recommended surgery but I'm worried about risks and recovery. What should I expect with his condition and the procedure?
Hypospadias surgery, while generally successful, carries potential risks and a recovery period that can be a bit challenging. Your son's condition, including glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening, will be addressed with surgery, which may involve moving the urethral opening to its proper location and releasing the chordee, a downward curve of the penis. The recovery period typically includes pain management, potential catheter use, and follow-up appointments. While the procedure is generally safe and the surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, complications like scarring, infection, or urethral narrowing can occur, though they are generally rare

I've noticed that the glans on my penis looks kind of wrinkled, even when it's erect, and there's also a small bump near the opening on the glans. There's no pain, but it's kinda worrying me because I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what this might be?
