What are my options if my pain management doctor lost his license and I’m on medication that I need a prescription for?

I am experiencing ear fullness, crackling sound when swallowing, and muffled hearing, which I believe is due to my eustachian tubes. I am currently using Nasonex and Azelastine nasal sprays, taking daily Claritin, and previously took prednisone. My symptoms typically flare up during pollen season and after having Covid. I also have a deviated septum and sleep apnea. What can I do to relieve these symptoms, and is there an over-the-counter medication stronger than Claritin that could help?

I am concerned about colon cancer. I have been on antibiotics for a tooth extraction and my stomach has been a little off. I have had some loose bowel movements and today I felt like I had to go and I strained hard but there was nothing there. When I wiped to make sure there was nothing there but there was blood. I wiped a few times and my rectum was bleeding. Later I had diarrhea again and there was no blood. But when I checked a couple of hours later I can wipe my rectum and there is blood and it now feels really irritated. Could this be anal cancer?

I am severely constipated, with the blockage right near my rectum but unable to pass it. I have been constipated for 2 days, tried laxatives without success, and am in severe discomfort. How can I resolve this issue?

I have vaginal itching and lower back ache, mostly on the right side. I am a 53-year-old woman in menopause, which started about 7 years ago when I started taking tamoxifen. I still experience hot flashes. The itching started 2 days ago, and the lower back ache has been on and off for 2 weeks. There is a small amount of white vaginal discharge. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
