I have a mild but annoying itch on my penis and a red line inside my groin. I had protected sex followed by an unprotected blowjob, and I also sweat a lot and didn't dry well after being in the pool. I'm worried about a possible yeast infection or STD. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

My daughter has a bad ear infection and was prescribed amoxicillin trihydrate after not responding to straight amoxicillin. When I picked up the medication from the pharmacy, I found the safety seal removed and the bottle less than half full. The pharmacy is closed until Monday. What should I do?

I have chest pain and a severe cough that has been constant for over a week. The cough is dry, and there is tightness in my chest. I am taking Clarithro 250 mg and Panadol. My tonsils are swollen, and I have a slight difficulty swallowing. I have been vaccinated for COVID-19, and there is no high-grade fever, body pains, or loss of sense of smell and taste. What could be causing these symptoms and what can I do to alleviate them?

My big sister got a few mosquito bites 90 minutes ago and is panicking, thinking she has West Nile virus. What are the best ways to rule it out, and what specific symptoms should we look out for? Additionally, what can we do to ease her worries and soothe the itching from the bites?

I bought a battery-operated nail filing kit that was sold as new on Amazon, but the box was not sealed. After soaking the tips in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 60 minutes and using the product, I accidentally made a tiny cut on my toe. I am worried about the risk of hepatitis C if the item was previously used by someone else, especially since I read that alcohol doesn't kill hepatitis C on surfaces. Is there any risk to this incident, and can you reassure me about the potential contamination?
