Question 1
I have sore red itchy eyes. What could be causing this?...  only since this morning when I woke up. They are red itchy and swollen. My face is also quite itchy and puffy looking., and red. I have been out in the sun the last few days but did wear a high factor (40) on my face. I wonder did I burn on my face but I didnt have factor any where else on my body and didnt burn elsewhere. Any suggestions to get rid of it would be appreciated.

Answers
1)   There might be medicine or try not eating acidic foods and drinks. - Jenna Pow

3)   nurse betty? i have bad acid reflux and the key to controlling it is to know what causes it and avoiding/taking steps to prevent it. like i get it really really badly when i play sports, so i always have antacids on hand.

i have taken long term stuff in the past but it never helped me, so the key for me is just learning my triggers. - 4getfull

Question 4
Im 16 and have been very sick for the past month?...  I have been feeling very ill for about a month. I have been extremely tired for this time and don't have energy to do anything. I also have been feeling very nauseous and vomiting and have been getting alot of nose bleeds which is weird because I never had them before. I don't know what is wrong I'm just hoping its nothing too serious. Any suggestions as to what I could have? I have also had terrible head aches.

Answers
1)   Maybe Mono, look into that. OR possibly a viral infection. Have you gone to the doctor? - Jake

2)   Personally I don't know what to say.. All I can say is that I will InshaAllah pray for you.. : )
What did the doctor say? If he told you to avoid something, please do... - Khan The terminator

3)   It could be infection. Viral or maybe amoeboid. You could have problems in your Thyroid because it fits the fatigue. Get it tested. Usually such disorders are very little pain if found in right time, so don't neglect the symptoms.

I would recommend you to go see a doctor because if it is an infection, it might become worse. It could even be some recent lifestyle changes.

Its not really possible to give an accurate diagnosis because the symptoms fit a lot of problems. You should see a doc. It'll make you feel better. Trust me. - Saurabh S

4)   go to the doctor... you could have a virus .. or it could be something else...

Question 5
Sore throat for months... Help?...  I have had a sore throat since about November. It's not particularly bad but makes speaking irritating and alters in severity throughout a day - this being a significant hinderance as talking is something I can't avoid seeing as how I work part-time as a cashier at Waitrose.
I have been on a course of antibiotics, had a blood test for glandular fever and been prescribed beconase nasal spray... All making no difference. It looks red and a little swollen. I'm reluctant to contact my Doctor for the fifth time. Can anyone help?
