I tested positive for Covid on Friday night and lost my sense of smell and taste. How can I regain these senses, and is a fuzzy head full feeling also related to Covid?

I have a sore throat, going on day 4, and a constant wet cough with phlegm. I am negative for COVID, have a low-grade fever, and feel pressure in my ears. I have tried lozenges, gargling with salt, tea, and honey, but nothing relieves my throat. Every time I cough, my throat feels raw. Should I continue to fight this naturally or get an antibiotic?

I’m experiencing hot/cold flashes, congestion, pins and needles, blurred vision, dizziness, and body aches upon standing for a few minutes. The symptoms are more pronounced after standing or shivering. I’m a 24-year-old female taking Zyrtec, Mucinex D, Sudafed, and Excedrin PRN. What could be causing these symptoms and how can I manage them?

I have been experiencing dark brown bowel movements for about 2 weeks. I am a 70-year-old male taking Coversil 5mg daily. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should consider?

I have been experiencing soreness in my hips for the last 60 days, which is more than usual and radiates down my left leg. I also had swelling above my left ankle with a painful spot on the bottom of my shin, which cleared up on its own. My hip pain is worse when sitting than walking. I walk about 7 miles every day and play golf a couple of days a week. My MRI didn't show any unusual signs of arthritis, and my blood work didn't indicate any infection. I am concerned if this could be gonococcal arthritis, as I read that it includes symptoms like hip pain and sore tendons due to an infected sheath. Is the lower leg pain and swelling indicative of tendinitis? Does gonococcal arthritis pain improve on its own and then come back? If it was gonococcal arthritis, would it usually not improve without treatment? What would be the signs of a joint infection in the hip?
