I noticed while I was in the shower this morning that I tasted blood in my mouth. When I spit there was a little bit of blood. I coughed a little and yellow mucus came up with a little bit of blood in it. I usually have a little drainage in the morning. I spit a little more when brusing my teeth and there was a little blood, but the mucus coming up does not have blood in it should I be concerned. I could not find anything in my mouth that could be bleeding. And I have not had any prior nose bleeds.

I am only 14 years old.
And right now I am about to go to school.
But what should i do with this blood thing?

The natural dispersion of things make some to be ill and in some cases to get such a disease [Somehow they are given the burden of this disease].

I've been suffering from something i can't explain. I get coughing fits that leave me breathless and gaspsing for air. My doctor said it's bronchitis but i'm not sure i'm convinced. I used cortisone pills and ventoline inhalers for a while. It doesn't seem to work. Lately coughing fits make me throw up and most of the time it's a white foam. What does that mean?

Blood in Stool?
Ok, this started about a week and a half ago. I had, had really bad pains where my appendix is all day ( I have had mine out). The pain was quite bad. Later that day when I went to empty my bowels I was in incredible pain (where appendix was). Eventually I ignored it, and there was blood when I wiped. About ten mintutes later I had the urge to go again and there was quite a bit of blood in the stool this time.
This has happened about 3 times since ( there is no pain where it actually comes out) . The last stool I did there was no blood though.
I have also had this very bad abdo pain that lasted about 4 days. The pain was right from my belly button and under my ribs. It hurt when i took a breath in. I have also had pains that come and go all along the right side of my abdomen.
What do my symtpoms mean? Do they represent anything?
P.S female teenager
Also my doc said that unlikely its hemmeroids. Plz dont reply with Ewww Gross or anything like that.

My beloved 7+yrs old Ame Cocker Spaniel was diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday. She is due for an operation this Thursday to remove a lump which is slightly smaller than a golf ball and if not at risk to also be spayed in the process.

I am in the process of changing her homemade diet of brown rice,meat,vegs and fruits after reading up canine cancer information online.

Her blood test and X-Ray shows that her kidneys, liver and everything else is in good shape except a little low red blood cell count which she's on iron tablets for

I need some advice on how to cope or with diets and such if anyone has had or have dogs with cancer. I feel really lost and extremely sad as she is very much a part of our family and we would like to give her the best quality of life that we possibly could

I've been on the marrow donation list for two years and have been called twice as an initial match and needed to go in for more testing. For anyone who is on the registry, how many times have you been called for further testing? Has anyone been a perfect match?

The only bug I was able to find was when changing the sheets was one of those black flying ants. Could he be the cause. They itch like crazy.

Hi! I've been having low grade fevers the past month, ranging from 37.7-38.6. I went for checkup, and the MD said my x-rays are clear, my bloodworks are fine,even my GIT exams like UA. My RBC count doesn't indicate anemia, and my WBCs are in the normal range, i had a negative test for typhoid fever. I've been having cough, but the MD said it's non-infectious. At first, she gave me carbocisteine for my cough and cefaclor, with some paracetamol for my fever. When the fever did not resolve, i was placed on a week of Loratadine, coz she thinks it might be allergy related, and ciprofloxacin. Usually, the fevers start in the afternoon, and came everyday since it started. I noticed some days when the fever occur i have pounding headache, but thought it's just an effect of the fever. I still have dry cough, and my sputum are clear. I am worried why my fevers do not resolve. I couldn't start looking for a job because of it. Please help me. thanks a lot!

My husband had a reg blood check up and found out he has a high SGPT. He's been drinking every night, but in moderation. Does this have an effect in the result? He suggested that he stop all his vitamins because he said it also affects his liver function. Is this true? Do hope you can enlighten me on this. Thanks in advance.
