Theoretically, it could work. When smoking, your body gets less oxygen more often, so it compensates by making more red blood cells. Therefore, during exercise, there are now more red blood cells to transport much-needed oxygen. However, this doesn't work because the irreversible damage being done to your lungs and lung function reduces the body's ability to absorb sufficient oxygen.
I wouldn't recommend icing it; it's an extremity - it won't do any harm, but I don't believe it would benefit much in this situation. Rather, soak it in warm salt water for 10 minutes every 4 to 6 hours. Also, put on an antiseptic ointment. Don't try to pop/drain it; if it pops on its own, continue with the salt water and keep it covered. Take the antibiotics as prescribed and take paracetamol/acetaminophen and / or ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. Symptoms such as nausea, chills, and fever should be taken seriously - rather, go to urgent care. I hope this helps!
As a South African medic; it's very interesting to see all the responses about their driving. I know it's sped up, but sometimes we have to respond like this as well; especially when we know the patient(s) are thick P1s. SA's drivers etiquette is extremely poor in general. I sometimes firmly believe that people want to watch red lights flicker in their rear view mirrors. Despite the poor etiquette, our roads are in horrible condition, and in some places, we need to drive like this without traffic to avoid potholes and debris. Also, we have a "superstition" that putting on gloves before arriving on scene will lead to bad luck.
Did you take any pills that have a similar shape in the last couple of days? Sometimes, the coatings aren't digested, and you are left with this shell.
Wouldn't be surprised if the patient said something like: "I'm allergic to morphine ... toradol .... tramadol ... oh, but my doctor said they can give me dilaudid."
This is quite interesting. While cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can leak from your nose or ears, it is usually associated with head trauma. Trauma isn't always involved. It can be due to brain bleeding as well. Mixed with blood, CSF forms a halo on filter paper. A dentist told me some story about a woman who had CSF coming out of her nose (she had no head trauma) it just happened spontaneously. She wasn't ill or injured and was physiologically fine. I didn't think much of this story, and I'm surprised that this post reminded me of it.
Only bruised and torn/stretched skin - all normal and understandable for weight training. You would've been in a lot of pain, even if it was a minor tear of the pectoral muscle.
See an ENT if you haven't already. Nebulising with a corticosteroid/ipratropium bromide combination can also be helpful. Those are usually prescription only. Someone else mentioned Sudafed - you can try it, but be aware that it can be addictive. Only take what's necessary. Most importantly, with decongestants: some loosen mucous (decongestant) and some dry up (mucolytic) mucous. Taking both types may seem like a great idea, but it usually leads to a hardened cast or mucous plug, which can be worse. NAC dries up mucous, while Sudafed loosens mucous. Antihistamines have a tendency to dry up mucous.
It's very difficult to see the entire eardrum. However, the ear canal looks irritated and inflamed. If she has a high-fever and/or vomiting, then rather get to a doctor as soon as possible.
Sounds more like a mental health issue than a physical health issue. Regardless, as mentioned by others, see a doctor. It may be a reasonable decision for them to put you on a low dose antidepressant to help you to get through this dip. This will address most of your symptoms and give them time to do all the physical health workups and refer you to specialists if necessary. Getting past parents can be tough. In my personal experience, it's best to be honest and forward with them. Tell your mother that you're concerned about your current health and need to see a doctor. That's all she needs to know. If you want to tell her more, then that's up to you. Lastly, continue exercising - that's the second best decision you can make in your current situation.
It can not directly contribute to high cholesterol. I'm not a dietician, so maybe it would be best to ask a sub related to nutrition/supplements. Nonetheless, cholesterol is a tricky thing, especially in primary care. Many factors play a role; diet, stress, lifestyle, etc. - you likely know all of this. If not, your doctor should've told you that. Presented in this way, i.e. "I started taking these supplements 2 months ago, and now I have high cholesterol"; can cause bias. If your doctor immediately made the conclusion that supplements lead to high cholesterol, without considering other factors, there may be a flaw in their logic. You'll be able to evaluate that statement based on what you told your doctor and what they know about you. Also, treat all supplements as exactly what they are; supplements. Most of your daily nutrition should come from a healthy diet. Supplements would be analogous to adding sugar to your coffee. It's to enhance your diet, not replace it. I believe you know this, however, it needs to be said. You can consider taking half of the daily dosage of supplements and rather fill up the lost nutrients with food. Continue exercising, and reevaluate your cholesterol in another month or so. If it's still high, consider seeing a dietician or see another doctor.
Most likely, a combination of a migraine aura and a drop in blood pressure. Either one could lead to the other. Migraines aren't necessarily always associated with headaches - you might've just experienced the aura. The drawing is exactly what people describe when they're experiencing an aura. I've had migraines with auras myself, and the drawing is spot on. One patient of mine gave a very accurate description of an aura; "squiggly rainbows." You can also do an image search for a migraine aura; there are many photorealistic recreations out there which you might identify with.
Most likely folliculitis - an infected hair follicle. They can soak their feet in lukewarm saltwater 2 times a day for 10 minutes or so. When it is dry, put some antibacterial cream or ointment on. Don't squish or pop it. If it gets larger or other symptoms develop; rather see a doctor.

This will scare away load shedding.
He's singing shosholoza; a South African song laborers sing while working in the mines to keep their rhythm. It's South Africa's "second anthem."

This looks like UFS?
UP, I believe. Looks like one of the lecture halls in the IT building.
This is great! I like to play their little game with them. There are many fake identity generators on the internet.
For those who aren’t aware this is absolutely terrible for your eyes
I think this is terrible for the sun.
Please don't judge the special needs plæynes.

How about dilaudid?
Wouldn't be surprised if the patient said something like: "I'm allergic to morphine ... toradol .... tramadol ... oh, but my doctor said they can give me dilaudid."
No.

isn't a csf leak clear?
It can be. It can also be xanthochromic: "blonde"/yellowish to yellow.
Not gonna lie when the engravings started in the first minute, I thought it was going to be good ol dickbutt.
Yes, it was a nice save.
Respiratory rate is always 12, even on a ventilator.

Sometimes churches rent out their stages for performances, just like theaters would.

I sincerely hope lions don't get an emergence reaction as frequently as humans do.
