I have a sinus infection with a dry cough and probably need antibiotics to get rid of it. I have had the cough for one day and sinus congestion for five days. I am 65 years old, a type 2 diabetic controlled with metformin 500 mg twice daily. I have no fever, chills, headaches, shortness of breath, or chest pain. I have lots of nasal drainage but no foul smell or blood. I am not allergic to any medications. What should I do for my sinus infection and cough?

I'm experiencing hearing issues, dizziness, nausea, and ear pain that have worsened over 7 hours, especially when standing or moving my head. I've had a recent cold/flu and took Advil for ear/jaw pain. I'm 29 years old and allergic to penicillin. Should I go to the hospital?

I started feeling bad on Monday, and although I felt a little better, my symptoms worsened, and I tested positive for COVID on Thursday. I have a new cough and intermittent fevers. I'm located in Kansas City and am unsure about the COVID-19 prevalence in my area. I'm currently using cold and flu medications, Tylenol, Motrin, and Zofran. I'm 52 years old. I'm concerned that I'm not getting better since getting diagnosed with COVID. Is this normal, and how long should these symptoms last?

I'm a 35-year-old female experiencing nausea and stomach cramps since yesterday. I've been super stressed and not eating much, and I also deal with GERD. Could this nausea be stress-related, and am I not vomiting?

I have been experiencing persistent insomnia and a dull discomfort around my head since December 23rd, which is affecting my ability to achieve my goals. I was diagnosed with ADHD and am taking Atomoxetine. How can I recover my sleep and alleviate this discomfort?
