My 9-year-old son has had diarrhea for 24 hours with no pain, fever, or vomiting. This is the first time he's had this issue. What could it be, and what should I do?

My 12-year-old daughter started her period in April 2020, but since November 2020, she has had prolonged periods, including one that lasted 21 days, and another that started on December 1st and continued until the 14th, and then again from the 21st. She is currently still on her period and has been experiencing headaches for the last two days, mostly at night and in the front temple area, sometimes at the back of her head. Is this normal, and should I be concerned? Additionally, she has a history of plantar warts and asthma.

I have a hard lump behind my ear that's itchy, along with a smaller lump nearby that also itches. I also have swollen lymph nodes and a scaly, itchy patch on my left arm. I have an appointment with a dermatologist in two weeks. What could these symptoms indicate, and is there any immediate treatment I can try?

My husband has a hiatal hernia and is experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, a bulging upper stomach, persistent heartburn, possible blood in his stool, and extreme tiredness. He has been taking heartburn medication (Prilosec) but the symptoms have not improved. Should I take him to see a doctor, especially given the current health situation with the virus and his lung problems?
