I have been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. I woke up with a sore throat and cough on Monday night, got tested on Tuesday and was negative, but my symptoms worsened. I threw up in the middle of the night, started running a fever, and my temperature was 102.2°F. My cough is wet, with a lot of mucus, and I experience chest tightness when lying down. I'm 20 years old, on fluoxetine, and recently took ibuprofen. Should I get tested again for COVID-19, and do I need to come in today?

I am having chest pain on the left side and also back pain in the same area. It just started an hour or so ago. This is the first time I have had both pains at the same time. No trauma or injury. No additional symptoms. I have not seen a doctor or tried any treatments. I have been told I have an “athletic or enlarged heart.” I have had some stress and anxiety but nothing too bad where it affects quality of life. It feels to be getting better; it’s still there just not as sharp.

I noticed a dent in my lower leg and am concerned it might be something serious like bone cancer. I'm 35 years old, have been experiencing leg pain, but no tenderness or soreness in the specific area. I wear tennis shoes and had blood work showing low B12. Could this be a serious issue, and could my leg pain be related to low B12 and dehydration?

My husband is 75 years old and has had trouble urinating, resulting in passing blood clots. He has a history of heart issues with 6 stents and is currently on medication. We are on holiday in Mexico. What should we do?

My son has been sick for almost a week with a persistent fever, phlegmy cough, and running nose. The cough is consistent and wet, and he has been taking Tylenol Cold, Advil, and homeopathic medicine for three days. He had pneumonia last summer with repeated fever for a week. What could be causing his symptoms and what steps should I take?
