I got the Pfizer COVID-19 shot two days ago, but now the injection site is very swollen, red, and hot to the touch. The swelling is about two inches in circumference and is sore. I'm 27 years old and have taken acetaminophen. The swelling has progressively gotten worse since the shot. Is this a normal reaction, and what should I do about it?

I've had a weird tightness in my chest that goes away after a little while and worried it could be serious. The tightness has happened 3 times over the past 2 weeks and is stable. I'm 38 years old and take suboxone to manage my pain. I can monitor my blood pressure and pulse at home, and the pain in my chest was concerning as I feel a little pain moving up to my jaw.

I had protected intercourse and unprotected oral sex two weeks ago, and my vaginal area is still irritated. I used a suppository for a yeast infection, which seems to have made it more irritated. The irritation is not constant and seems to rise and fall. I also experienced stinging during urination and urgency to urinate shortly after the sexual activity. I take hormones, metformin, binary salts, and medication for high uric acid. I believe I'm allergic to latex, and this last partner used a latex condom. What could be causing the irritation, and what steps should I take to address it?
