I have a nasty cold, and when I start coughing I cannot stop. I have tried cold medicines, but they do not help this particular problem. Does anyone have any remedies?

I got my wisdom teeth pulled & cut out about 2 weeks ago. All 4. I got a really bad infection where a huge abscess grew in my neck and they had to drain it out. I was in the hospital for 5 days cause they had to put an IV antibiotic in my arm. Finally, i went home on oral top notch antibiotics. I had a tube left in my throat where the infection can drain and when it finally stopped, i had it removed. Now i have puss & blood coming out of my neck and im scared. The oral surgeon (whos the best in the state) said i will be okay cause it is coming out instead of staying in and to go the emergency room if it gets bigger or if i get another fever. Also said the antibiotics will clear it up in due time. Does that sound right? I am healthy young active girl who never had any health issues. It has been so scary for me. What do you think? has anything like this happened to you?

My mom recently died of breast cancer and my co-workers signed a sympathy card and the company donated money in my moms memory to a national breast cancer organization. I want to send an email thanking them, but I am not sure what to say.

My friend got throat and sinus infection of Staphylocuccus aureus. Her doctor said that there is no way to treat it with antibiotics, since it will develop resistance and it will do no good. He said just to live with it and try to boost the immunity. Is this how contemporary medicine deals with this infection? Are there no antibiotics available? Should she get a second opinion?

My b/f was told to take Prilosec OTC once daily to prevent acid
buildup, GERD - it seems to be causing him to have diarrhea (sorry if this is TMI, but this is a serious question) What can he take in place of the Prilosec? I know it's a Proton Pump Inhibitor; are there other brands that he can take without the side effects?
Thanks for any info -

what does this mean, this has happened a couple of times now? after taking bloods, my arm at the needle site swells up to the size of (no joke) a grape. is the the fault of the nurses or doctors. does this mean my veins weak? and when this old leaked blood a danger of traveling as clots to my brain or heart or something? i dont like injections the best of times but this certainly freaks me out quite a bit.

I have a type of skin lesion on the back of my neck that looks much like a ringworm. However, I went to the Dr. and she informed me that it was not a ringworm but instead a bacterial infection (I may have been "clipped" when getting the base of my hairline buzzed at the beautician and bacteria got in the small cut causing a bacterial infection)...after taking a Rx of penicillin and using Rx topical ointment, Alcortin, it still has not gone away. It fades but then comes right back. It is red, in the shape of a circle, is dry and does itch at times, not constantly, and sometimes flakes. It has not spread, like a ringworm can. It is at the base of my hairline. What could it be and how could I get rid of it?
