I have a sore throat that has worsened over three days despite using cough medicine, tea, and gargling salt water. My throat feels rough when I swallow, and I'm coughing intermittently. What should I do for relief?

I'm a 70-year-old man who had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery in August 2022. Six weeks after surgery, I had an incident where my dog jumped up and hit my left testicle, causing it to move into the hernia area. The pain has not subsided, and an ultrasound showed fluid buildup around the testicle and connective tissue to the abdomen. The pain is constant, more severe during masturbation, and ranges from achy to stabbing. I have not experienced nausea, bloating, or changes in stool. What should I do?

I've been experiencing fever, chest heaviness, and breathing difficulties, especially with deep breaths, despite having asthma. My fever has fluctuated, and I've been using albuterol inhalers and a nebulizer for relief. I'm concerned about my worsening condition and whether I should seek further medical attention or if there are additional treatments I can try at home.

I had an allergic reaction to eating shrimps three and a half hours ago. My torso is hot, itchy, and covered in bumps. I'm not on any medication and I'm 73 years old. I had a similar reaction to prawns several years ago where my throat tightened, but it hasn't this time. What should I do?
