I have had a very bad cold for nine days, but no remedy I've tried has helped. Should I get an anti-biotic from the doctor, or wait for it to clear up on its own since there is no cure for the common cold? And seeing the doctor is always a hassle. Thanks a lot for your input. I am not sure if it is better to let it run its course.

Lately my feet have been going numb for no apparent reason, falling asleep. I usually don't notice it right away unless I go to get up, or until the blood starts flowing again and I get that tingling feeling. It has also happened to my hand and fingers a couple times, but not as often.

This has been happening for about 2 weeks now. It happens roughly 3 times a day or more.

I do have the blood clotting disorder Factor V Leiden. Could it be anything to do with that? If not what COULD be the possible problem?

Almost a month ago I have painful urination and painful swallowing. I've decided to go to the doctor the next afternoon since hospitals are closed on sundays. That night I have experienced fevers and chills aside from the above symptoms. I've taken paracetamol to alleviate the symptoms. I went to the doctor which gave me a CBC and medications (cipro) for gonorrhea and urethritis. I've been well after several days taking the medicine but the results of my CBC indicate that I had elevated neutrophils and lympcytes 2% below normal when I was checked up. The other components of my blood were normal. Would the decrease in my lymphocyte be caused of my illness?

I was told I was allergic to bees when I was about 8 years old. Since then I have been stung only once about 5 years ago and noticed no bad reaction. Could the allergy have gone away, and how (besides getting stung voluntarily) can I find out if I am still allergic?
