My neck has been swollen and painful for two weeks now. I have thyroid issues but my levels are normal. A scan showed infected lymph nodes that are increasing in size. Do I need surgery or are there other treatment options?

View allI'm trying to understand the potential risks of using Gemitrol Nasal Spray. My doctor prescribed it after diagnosing me with a fracture in my L1 vertebra and osteoporosis. But I read online that Calcitonin salmon, which is in the spray, might be linked to an increased risk of cancer. Should I be worried about this? Are there safer alternatives available? And how long is it safe to keep using this medication? I'm honestly a bit concerned and would appreciate any advice you can give.

My mom's 57 and she's been on omnacortil 10 mg for the past 8 years because of her skin Ellery disease. But now she's got diabetes and some BP issues, so the doctors said she can't take it anymore. Ever since she stopped, she's really weak, can't eat, and is vomiting. What should we do? Can you help us out?
sudden withdrawal from long-term steroid use (8 years) can lead to severe adrenal insufficiency, and the doctor may recommend a gradual tapering off of omnacortil to prevent withdrawal symptoms, while also managing her diabetes, BP, and skin condition with alternative treatments.
