Try calling your local hospital emergency department and asking to speak to the triage nurse. If the triage nurse can't help you over the phone, she (or he!) might be able to provide you with an ask-a-nurse phone number.

Couple of Web sites that have good information - Medline Plus is run by the National Institutes of Health (www.nlm.nih.gov/MedlinePlus/) . Also www.mayoclinic.com - Mayo Clinic Health Information site. They are both HONcode (Health on the Net) certified.

Good luck!
