I have a sore area at the corners of my mouth, possibly from wearing a mask. I have tried polysporin and Clotrimazole, but it is still sore and not getting better. How long have you had the soreness? Is this stable or getting worse? Are you still using clotrimazole? Is there anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I had a severe reaction to my third COVID vaccine, including unbearable palpitations and fast pulse four days after the shot. Despite normal EKG, blood tests, and a Zio patch, an echocardiogram showed a severely enlarged left atrium (LAE) at 5.1. However, subsequent tests and a chest x-ray did not support this finding, and I have no symptoms of LAE. I am experiencing panic attacks and am scared. What could be causing my symptoms?

I think I might have an ear infection. My ear started hurting today, and I have a bit of a headache and am sensitive to loud noises. I am 25 years old, not currently using any medications, and have a history of ear infections as a child but haven't had one since getting surgery (tubes in ears). My nose isn't stuffy, I don't have a sore throat, and my ear isn't clogged, just painful. I don't have a fever but occasionally experience difficulty with balance/dizziness. There is no discharge, and I am not taking any medicines except for ibuprofen earlier, which didn't help much. The only physical condition I have is anemia.
