I had protected vaginal intercourse with a commercial sex worker and had an 18-hour-old scissor cut at the base of my penis, which was not covered by the condom and was exposed to vaginal fluid.

I wanted to know if something looks like a cold sore. How long have you had the soreness? Is this stable or getting worse? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

Is the fee covered by OHIP? I have a medical report that I would like the doctor to interpret. My mother died of leukemia, and I want to prevent it. What steps should I take?

I have a cut tendon in my pinky that I never got looked at, which happened about 3 years ago. It's been causing pain, and now my middle finger has been experiencing pain for the past three days. I'm 33 years old and not using any medications. I also experience tingling sensations in my pinky and middle finger, but no wrist pain, forearm pain, neck stiffness, or swelling. I use my mobile for about 2 hours a day. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have been experiencing flu-like symptoms for three weeks, including a lot of phlegm, difficulty sleeping, and pain in my throat and chest. I have a history of COPD and am currently taking osteo panadol, Xarelto, Carvedilol, Sigmaxin, Seretide, and Spiriva. I am 82 years old and have had hip surgery, AF, and been stented twice in the past. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

My daughter, who is 11.5 years old, has been complaining of a constant sore throat for three days, with a red throat, difficulty swallowing, chills, congestion, and a fever of 100.6°F. She has no known allergies or other medical conditions, and a COVID test was negative. Are there any other steps I should take?
