I have a 3-year-old son who has had a mix of symptoms since Tuesday, including a low-grade fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and fatigue. This is the first time he has experienced these issues, and he has no previous medical history. He is not vaccinated as per schedule and does not attend daycare. There is no vomiting, rash, or anyone else sick in the house. How should I treat his symptoms and ensure he takes the necessary medication?

I have been experiencing gas, diarrhea, bloating, and stomach rumbles for months. I recently had a month of regular diarrhea and started a colon cleanse, but I'm worried about side effects. I also had frequent spotting from my period last month and a bad headache. Could these symptoms be related, and should I be concerned about dehydration from the colon cleanse?

I had sex with a prostitute in Dubai while wearing a condom, but I was very drunk and have doubts about whether the condom was properly used. It was a one-time event that lasted no longer than 5 minutes. I have a long-term partner and have only slept with two people since 2015. What are my chances of picking up HIV from this encounter, and is there anything else I should do or know at this stage?

I have a super itchy rash that started around the corona of my penis 5 days ago. It's red, rash-like, very itchy at night or when I wake up in the morning, and has now spread to spots on my thighs, abdomen, and arm. Tea tree ointment seems to help relieve the itching. I have a history of HSV2, which coincided with the onset of the itching but has since gone. I had protected sex a day before the symptoms started. What could this rash be, and what steps should I take to address it?

I'm a 65-year-old male, 6'3", 214 pounds, experiencing a sharp pain in the upper right rib cage or top of the right lung. The pain is noticeable, comes and goes, and is somewhat painful to the touch. Deep breathing increases the pain somewhat but not every time. What could be the cause of this?

Can I send an image of test results? I have no symptoms and have not seen a doctor about this. My medical history is unremarkable. My gynocologist ordered tests as I haven't had a check-up for 10 years. My results show AST 45, ALT 76, GGT 51, HOMOCYSTEINA 14.5, and Colesterol HDL 92. All other results seem fine. I am a 44-year-old female, 51kg, and 163cm. What do these results mean, and should I be concerned?
