I’m taking Paxlovid for Covid and it’s giving me diarrhea. My anus is so raw it bleeds, and it hurts to sit. I’ve been using coconut oil, but it helps only a little. What can I do to alleviate the pain and discomfort, especially since I have one more day of the medication?

I have symptoms of undigested yellow stool, stomach pain after eating donuts and oranges, long stools causing anal pain, stomach growling after eating donuts, and acid reflux. I'm wondering if I also have gastritis or what could this be, so I can do home remedies before my doctor's appointment.

I have been diagnosed with HSV2 and prescribed acyclovir pills and ointment. The ointment has caused severe burning, swelling, and redness of the foreskin. I am a lung transplant recipient on multiple anti-rejection medications and am currently in Thailand. Can you advise me on whether I should continue using the ointment due to the severe adverse reaction?

My son has a wet chest cough that has been present for about 2 weeks. It is worse during the day and evening but occurs throughout the day. He is 2 years old and is currently using Strodal. He has no other symptoms except a bit of a runny nose. What can be done to help him, and does he need antibiotics?

I woke up with chills, vomit, and had to use the bathroom. I am on vacation and not sure if it’s a virus. Once I threw up, the chills stopped. What can this be? I had no diarrhea but did need to go to the bathroom.
