My stepgaughter has all of a sudden developed an intolerance to dairy products. Is this something that might go away? I always thought that one was born with this problem

For a few days now I've had a redness inside of my nose,like in the middle part that splits the nose holes.Its red,irritated,burns and itches sometimes,and a bit swollen.Could this be some sort of infection? The other side seems fine.Its almost swollen to point of where I can barely stick a q-tip in to clean-since I can't blow it.I've been swabbing the area with vaseline to keep it from being so dry.Any idea of what this could be,or how to make it better?

I keep seeing answers to the medical questions supposedly from doctors, nurses, EMTs and med students. Are they telling the truth, or just saying that to give themselves credence?

I tore my left ACL (nothing else) playing intramural basketball in March '05. I had it rebuilt using an allograft (cadaver tissue) in May '05. I never regained total stability within my knee, and when playing sports, I find that my knee will slip as it did before the surgery. I currently have a large knee brace that helps moderately. Any suggestions on what I can do for stability?

My second question is I am experiencing a great deal of popping and crackling within that same knee - much more so than pre-injury/surgery. Has anyone else encountered this as well?

My final question is do people with this type of knee injury discover they develope arthritis in the injured knee? I have experienced some (possible) early signs of arthritis, and wanted to know if this is common or just dumb luck.

Thank you!

I've heard that water bottles such as those used by evian and vittell should not be re-used as the plastic disintegrates and poisons the water. is this true or are the water companies just trying to make more money?

This morning I woke up feeling as tho I had a little vomit choke me up and go down the wrong pipe. I was trying to clear my throat of this horridly sour taste when it caused me to vomit up this brown sludge. after the 2nd time I vomited I noticed that there was some blood in my throat. (I think it may be an ulcer in my throat caused by acid reflux) this was coming up in the vomit. However my throat feels like the source of the blood.

Do I need to see a doctor to get something prescribed for this, or is there something over the counter I can try? I don't have insurrance, and can not afford a doctor, or hospital visit on my currently fixed income.
