A family visitor recently had chickenpox, and we are concerned about the risk of infection for the 3 of us living in the home, especially my 90-year-old mother who has asthma, bronchial issues, and hypertension. How can we detect early signs of infection, and what preventive measures should be taken to protect my mother during her upcoming visit?

My daughter used a roadside toilet today. She is 7. After she used it, I noticed there were wet marks all on the seat, urine I guess (Not from her), hard to tell as the seat is black. It was a grotty looking toilet and I am terrified now she will develop serious illness or infection. We used hand sanitizer to clean her hands after and I showered her as soon as possible which wasn't for a few hours. Please help I am very germ phobic and suffer with GAD.

I want to know if I'm eligible for antidepressants. I haven't used any antidepressants or seen a doctor about this before. I have PCOS but don't think it matters.
