i was confined in the hospital in December for tonsillitis, both of my tonsils were filled with exudates. The doctor put me under a 10-day treatment on antibiotics. Since then, my left tonsil has never returned to its normal size. There isnt much pain when I swallow, but it comes back every now and then especially when I hold my breath, shout or eat sweets. Would there be any way that this would return to its normal size so I wouldnt be bothered about this anymore?

I am 16 and i am not sure whether i had eaten enough nutrients for growth(for growing taller), should I buy some pills or medicines that gives me vitamin, calcium and proteins? Or just eat what i am eating normally? Or will eating too much nutrients will have bad effects for that? I am also trying to decrease my weight, so will buying pills for burining calories stunt my growth whereas calories i think do not have any benefits for the body?

lately i've been taking Ibuprofen 600 g due to twisting my knee. I'm not sure but does it make you depressed for a couple of days. Lately I've been feeling really down and very sensitive to people things say. this is very unlike me because usually im very energetic and down to earth. is it possible its the pills or no? i read some things online but it didn't say anything about that..i do'nt mean severe depression but just not in a very happy mood most of the time?

I saw in one of my answers that some exercise or overdoing it will stunt your growth. So exactly what exercise stunts your growth..? I'm 16 and I am thinking about going to gyms but trying to avoid some machines that will stunt my growth.

I am about 16 and i like to exercise for about 1 hour per day with jogging for 30 mins and do normal streching exercise for another 30 mins. Does that help in my growth or does that stunt my growth? Because i heard that exercise too vigorously might stunt your growth.. By the way, how it means by exercising too vigorously?

I couldn't think, I couldn't focus, i could kinda control surface thoughts, and I forced myself to get up and take a Nyquil, about 15 minutes later, i felt fine, and went to sleep. Is this a normal cold/flu symptom? Is something wrong with me?

Hi, i've started to have these wierd super fast heart rythms since age 12. when they happen, my head goes really dizzy like im about to faint, feels like theres a lot of pressure on my chest and feel a loss of air. Atrial fibrillation. i've went to the cardioologists and everything they checked my heart in everyway they said it's a completely healthy heart they don't know why these strange fast heart rythms occur but they say its Atrial fibrillation.
I'm not taking meds for it, because it's not very seriouse for now it happends basicly once every 4 -5 months. but now that i'm in high school and this heart rythm happened at school not to long ago while doing gym really freaked me out because it was like infront of everyone and they ddidnt know what was going on with me. but it went away after.
I didn't pay much attention to this Atrial fibrillation before but now i worry and stress about it so much!! like i dont want it to happen again. should i get like a counseler to talk stuff thru

Ok...so I am on medicaid in South Carolina because I am pregnant. But I am moving this weekend to Indiana. Is it possible for them to just switch my medicaid from one state to the other? When I talked to one lady at the welfare office she said that I would have to cancel the South Carolina one before I could apply for Indiana's medicaid. Is that true? Because then I will be going up to a week or so with no insurance and what if something were to happen? Thanks ahead to anyone who might be able to help!
