I have thick green phlegm that I'm coughing up, and I've had it for five days. I'm a 72-year-old female visitor in Australia, 20 minutes from the nearest town without access to a vehicle. I've had a negative COVID test. Is the green phlegm indicative of a virus or infection, and what should I do given my limited access to medical facilities?

I have a dermatitis rash that started today on my right side chest, breast, and stomach. The rash is swollen and stings. I am currently using prednisone 20mg, which was prescribed by my PCP. What could be causing this rash, and what treatment options are available?

As an HSV2-positive male, what is the risk of HSV2 transmission if I wore a condom and just rubbed my penis against a vagina with barely any penetration, and no outbreaks at the time?

Good morning, the left side of my throat is swollen and I have white bumps on it. It has been a week now, and the whole left side is very painful and tender, making it difficult to swallow. I am a 28-year-old male, not using any medications, and I am otherwise healthy. I have not had a fever and have not been evaluated for the issue. COVID is not common around me. What could be the cause of this, and what should I do?

My 2 year and 9 month old daughter has been having high fever (39.5-40) since Monday afternoon. She has been given child Nerofen every 8 hours, but the fever keeps coming back. She is coughing, breathing heavily through her mouth, and has low energy and no appetite. I suspect she might have internal worms as she licks her hands all the time and I felt something long and soft when cleaning her bum. What should I do about her fever and suspected worms?
