I've had a cold for the past four days, and now it's moved to my chest. I've been on amoxycillin that was prescribed by my doctor. Today, I've started feeling a heavy head too. Are there any medicines you can recommend to help ease my headache?

View allI've noticed this painful lump in my left armpit for the last two days. It's small, not something you can really see from the outside, but you can definitely feel it when you press down. There's some mild pain when I do that. Could it be something serious?
Its possible that the lump in your armpit could be a swollen lymph node or a minor cyst, which are usually not serious. However, if it persists or gets worse, it's best to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a year ago, her B12 levels were found to be around 1800 pgml, but the doctor didn't really look into it much. She recently had Chikungunya, and her CBC showed a high TLC of 14300 cellsmcmm with high polymorphs at 78 and low lymphocytes at 11. Her kidney function was normal, but her liver tests showed SGPT at 40 and alkaline phosphatase at 325. I read online that high B12 levels can be linked to some serious diseases. She's 5 ft tall, weighs 52 kg, and doesn't have any current medical issues. Do you think I should be concerned and possibly get her checked out by a doctor?

I've been experiencing this strange wriggling sensation in my anus at night, and it's starting to worry me. I'm aware pinworms are mostly common in kids, but my anus gets really itchy, and I'm just not sure. I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing a doctor. Is there a way I can confirm if it's pinworms? Are there any over-the-counter medications that might help?
It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
