Tetanus shots given to adults give immunity for a period of 10 years. Who told you that you needed a new booster to be around your grandson? That person should check his/her facts.

Looks like Herpes simplex. It will go away in some days. I suppose you also have lesions in your mouth. Look for a practioner of low level laser therapy in your area s/he can ease the pain.

This is indeed a queer set of symptoms. I do not think your pain issue has anything to do with your tied tubes, but since you bring it up, there could be a connection, but it is in your head, not in your body. What is your condition otherwise? Smoking? Drug abuse? Alchoholism? Battered wife? Getting enough exercise? Eating well? How are you sleeping? BMI?

If you haven't seen a hepatologist recently, you certainly should do so as soon as possible. Your condition is endangering your life, and you must get the best possible care in order to survive.

None of the listed ingredients have any interaction issues with loazepam. The question is, why are you taking that? Just quit. It may case a bit of discomfture, if you have been taking it for some time, but it will pass.

Weak heart = heart failure. Your daugther needs to be in the care of a heart failure cardiologist. It is a long shot whether it can be improved, but a heart failure cardiologist is your best shot.

You need a work-up at an internal medicine ward, unless your GP is internal medicine savvy. Your yellowness is a sign of liver failure, but your liver is apparently back up to speed, since it is gone again. The liver doesn't hurt, but the surrounding tissues do. If the pain continues, you should get an ultrasound exam to see if anything is visibly amiss.

Without knowing what medicine you are writing about, it is impossible to say anything about it. Most likely, you have nothing to worry about.

If your headache truly only lasted a second and your do not have any other symptoms, such as facial paralysis, strange sensations in one or other arm or leg or concomittant dizziness, tinnitus or other strange sensations, you can conifcently forget it. If any of the above was experienced, then yes, you should see a doctor.

It is mot likely an aberration. Such things happen. You should get it checked, or, if you have no symptoms, just forget about it.

Sounds like lice. The drug of choice for lice is permethin, which can be purchased over the counter at your local drug store. And yes, they can easlity be transferred from one person to another.

Your throat is definately inflamed. Are you measured your temperature? A CRP would be nice, as well as a throat culture. It sounds like an infection, but it could also be an allergic reaction, as you have suggested. You need to see your GP fo get the difference ascertained.

First, some very good news: Neither type of hemorrhoid is dangerous, and severe complications that require medical care are rare. Symptoms often can be relieved by trying a few natural and self-care treatments.

Draw a sitz bath. To relieve itching and irritation, fill a tub with three to four inches of warm (not hot) water and sit in it with your knees bent for about 10 to 15 minutes. Gently pat yourself dry with a towel, but don't rub the area.
Take fiber supplements. These draw water into your stool and make it easier to pass, helping to reduce hemorrhoid bleeding and inflammation. A psyllium husk fiber supplement, like Metamucil or a generic version, is a good choice. If psyllium causes gas or bloating, try a supplement with wheat dextrin (Benefiber) or methylcellulose (Citrucel).
Ease discomfort. Apply over-the-counter products that shrink the inflamed tissue and relieve itching. Try pads infused with witch hazel (Tucks), or soothing creams that contain lidocaine or hydrocortisone.
You can also take steps to prevent flare-ups.

Don't delay. Putting off bowel movements can cause stool to back up, leading to increased pressure and straining, which aggravates your hemorrhoids.
Sit right. Try not to sit on the toilet for long periods; this tends to make hemorrhoids push out and swell up. A way to speed up things is to elevate your feet with a step stool as you sit. This changes the position of your rectum to allow for easier passage of stools. Also, using a cushion beneath you when you sit on a chair or hard surface can ease swelling.
Keep it clean. After every bowel movement, gently clean your anal area with a witch hazel pad, a soothing baby wipe, or a cotton cloth soaked in warm water. If you have any irritation afterward, apply petroleum jelly or aloe vera gel.

Mouth sores are called stomatitis. Diabetics with less than optimal blood sugar control are prone to such. They can also be caused by vira, bacteria and fungi. If they do not remit spontaneously, you should see a doctor who should take a scrape from a sore and get it analyzed.

The most common cause of blood from you anus is haemorhoids. Although unusual at your age, not unheard of. A bout of salmenelosis could also be considered, but then you should have other symptoms like nausea and stomach pains. More serious diagnoses could be considered, but you should definitely see you doctor.

This is about the bellringer of a weird symptom complex. I have never heard of such in spite of decades of hands on clinical experience. What comes to mind is early symptoms of Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, neuroboreliosis, atypical epilepsis or some more exotic ballgames like astrocytosis, early onset syphilis or diabetes. These should all be ruled out before one can conclude that it is all in your head, which is not unlikely.

No need for medical attention. Rib injuries are not treated, unless they are complicated (breaking through the skin). Your pain should subside in two or three weeks.

You have most likely "pulled a muscle" which is the common term for a light tear in the muscle fibers when you push or pull beyond your limit, especially if you have failed to warm up properly. In serious cases, a hematoma ensues making your skin black and blue. If that is not the case, use a warming lotion on the tender area 3 times a day until it is better. Give the thigh rest until it is no longer tender.

If you are a medical doctor, you should know that most tonsilitis cases are viral. They should only be treated with antibiotics after a positive throat culture. If you are not a medical doctor, where do you have antibiotics from?

Yes, that is normal enough. Nausea is both the kind where you continue to throw up constantly and the other extreme is just a queasy feeling. IF it is the latter, don\t worry about it - it will go away in a few days. If it is the former, see you GP tomorrow.
