mNRA booster after 2 J&J vaccinations?

The CDC currently does NOT recommend another shot so soon after the J&J booster. Once someone has had TWO J&J injections(with the 2nd being very recent), the level of immunity attained will be significant and it is unlikely that getting a 3rd shot so soon after the 2nd will signifcantly increase her level of immunity. But, in 6 months or so--it is likely that another shot will be advised due to waning immunity and the fact that type of COVID virus will change. Thus, she needs to stay alert to future recommendations.

For COLONOSCOPY they usually put you to sleep. But for UPPER ENDOSCOPY--they may put you to sleep, or lightly sedate you, or use a local anethestic on your mouth/throat so your sensation is reduced. Be SURE you ask the doctor who will do this procedure HOW he does it so you know exactly what to expect. Good luck!

As long as you have no fever >100.5, significant abdominal pain, or blood mixed in with the stool--I would give it a week or two before seeing a doctor. For the time being--I would push fluids, avoid fatty or rich foods, take IMMODIUM for the diarrhea if severe and frequent, and be patient.

He has an INFECTION until proven otherwise--could be BACTERIAL (including GC) or FUNGAL (like yeast, etc.). You MUST go see a doctor to get tested. Also, I would advise seeing YOUR doctor in order to ensure YOU don't have one too (which could be asymptomatic).

Yes, I agree that disorders that need to be r/o include (but are not limited to) MS, Myasthenia gravis, Lupus(and other collagen vascular and other auto-immune disorders), Poly-dermatomyosits, Vasculitis, etc. A BRAIN MRI and various blood tests to look for the above and other possible causes are MANDATORY and need to be done asap. You might try to see a very reputable NEUROLOGIST, RHEUMATOLOGIST, and/ or a HEMATOLOGIST. Good luck!

POSSIBLE causes of penile sores/ulcers include but are not limited to herpes, syphilis, chancroid, and trauma. Obviously a SEXUAL HISTORY is crucial to the diagnosis and also to identify recent sexual contacts so they can be told to seek medical attention. I strongly suggest you see reputable primary care doctor, Internist, or family medicine specialist for appropriate tests and treatment.
I question about Proteinuria?
It is NOT dangerous at this level--but it is a sign of possible underlying kidney disease that must be identified and properly treated.

Double ingrown toenail?

Soak it FREQUENTLY in hot salty water. Also, try to use a nail clipper or other instrment to get under the edge of the nail that is digging into the skin and try to bend or cut it out of the way. This will reduce the pressure and pain, and allow any pus to drain..
BUT--be aware that an ingrown toenail is a common medical condition and nothing to be embarrassed about! I have had this same conditon myself a couple of times--which I self treated as above. However, If the above suggestions dont quickly resolve the problem, I advise talking to your parents and consider going to your doctor, an urgent care center, or even an ER if your symptoms persist.

I suggest you talk to your parents about this and consider seeing an MD who is expert in sleep medicine. Though rare in teenagers, a possible explanation includes SLEEP APNEA--a condition where you stop breathing while asleep thereby causing the blood oxygen level to drop. This can result in lack of adequate sleep as well as brain fog, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, poor concentration and focus, morning headaches, etc. Clues to this diagnosis include obesity and snoring.

2) You also should strongly consider consulting with a reputable UROLOGIST--as if a MALE has a "urinary infection"--the underlying CAUSE must be elucidated--as frequent blood in the urine could possibly be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer--which must be ruled out by further testing.
Good Luck!

Among the worst things this could be is a "warning leak" from a brain aneurism(a warning leak could pre-sage a major brain hemorrhage.) But this could also just be a post-orgasmic headache or even a herniated disc in your cervical spine. I suggest seeing your doctor asap or go to the ER and get a CT scan of your brain and and C-spine. Good luck!
Why am I still in pain?
It is not uncommon to have severe pain in the first few months after a neck injury--as you have multiple herniated discs with spinal cord effacement. I suggest seeing a PAIN SPECIALIST, READ MORE
It is not uncommon to have severe pain in the first few months after a neck injury--as you have multiple herniated discs with spinal cord effacement. I suggest seeing a PAIN SPECIALIST, SPINE SPECIALIST, and/or a PHYSICAL MEDICINE specialist. Treatment will take a while(probably months) and must include good PHYSICAL THERAPY, HEAT, STRETCHING/RANGE OF MOTION EXERCISES, and maybe SHORT TERM OPIATE PAIN MEDS if NSAIDS/MUSCLE RELAXERS dont help. And sometimes EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTIONS will help--but that is a decision made by a SPECIALIST.

The only sure way is to compare the date of a + test against the date of any prior - test. Otherwise, you can glean the date from clinical symptoms of hepatitis(whcih can be very subtle or even asymptomatic)--like fatigue, weight loss, jaundice, dark urine, pale stools, etc, etc. Lastly, a hepatitis IgM antibody blood test result may help determine when it occurred. And a doctor will put all of these together to come up with a possible date--knowing that it may not be possible to do so with any certainty.
Bad reaction?

This reaction (tachycardia--fast heart rate) is most likely related to SALBUTAMOL. This drug is a bronchodilator used for ASTHMA or BRONCHOSPASM. However, if you are NOT having significant shortness of breath or wheezing, then you probably don't need it and I suggest stopping it or reducing the dose (though I suggest talking with your doctor as there may be issues about your case that I am unaware of).
