I’ve had strep throat for about 5 days now and have been on antibiotics for 4. My adenoids are still really swollen. They are tender but not really painful, and they are almost touching each other. What should I do?

I fear I have tapeworms due to recent symptoms such as on and off upset stomach, stomach rumbling, mild headache, and changes in bowel movements. I also had a high intake of dairy and sushi last week. Could these symptoms be related to tapeworms or are they more likely due to my dairy sensitivity or other factors?

I just started taking prednisone today and had 3.5 margaritas. Is it okay to not take the remaining prednisone doses tonight? It's my first day, and I'm also taking a muscle relaxer (Flexoril 5mg) at bedtime. I'm 21 years old and taking prednisone for inflammation.

I have a feeling of heartburn at the lower chest area, so I went to the polyclinic and an ECG was done. The ECG report shows 'Probable Left Atrial Enlargement.' Should I be concerned, and is it necessary to see a cardiologist?

I have had a cough for two weeks, which started with a sore throat and then worsened. I went to urgent care and tested negative for coronavirus and strep throat. After resting, the sore throat improved, but I've been struggling with a cough for a week, especially at night, which causes stomach pain and diarrhea. I am trying to isolate myself and wonder why this is lasting so long. Should I see my doctor again, and is it advisable to take the influenza vaccine?
