One of my kids tested positive for Covid today. What should we do and what should we avoid to prevent spreading the virus to other family members, especially an elderly family member at risk? Should we use the air conditioner, and what about fans? Also, when should we get tested for Covid?

Is it safe to travel by air if I have tested positive for Covid-19? I am located in British Columbia, Canada, near Vancouver, and I am experiencing symptoms such as a cough, fever, and shortness of breath. I am 63 years old and taking Nyquil and similar cold/flu medications. I also have a 92-year-old mother with dementia whom I am helping to care for and have been avoiding contact with. What is the timeline for isolation, and how does one know when they are no longer contagious?

I had been taking a product called Cleanse More for bowel regularity every day for over a year, even though it's not intended for everyday use. I now have a sore upper stomach in the diaphragm area and have discontinued the product. Are there any dangers from having used it longer than advised, or should things settle down on their own now that I’ve stopped taking it?

I think I have a sour stomach. I have abdominal pain, burning in my stomach that is waking me at night, and a bad taste in my mouth. What should I do to heal it? How would I know if it is not an ulcer?

I'm 56 years old and have a terrible knee problem. Recently, the bottom of my feet have been burning for about 2 weeks, especially at night. I take ibuprofen, but it doesn't help. Do I have any known allergies? No. Is there anything else in my medical history the doctor should know? No.
