I have been coughing a lot and aggressively, and at some points it'll get challenging to breathe. My chest feels sore. I don't have COVID and I saw a physician last week and they said it's a viral infection. I'm wondering how long will I need until I'm better. So I can go back to work. The coughing is not constant throughout the day but comes and goes, mostly wet but sometimes dry. My chest is sore, and I don't know about tightness. I have eczema but no known asthma history. Meals do not aggravate my symptoms, and I believe I snore at night. My most predominant symptoms are cough, runny nose, and slight discomfort in breathing at times, which goes away when I cough. I work at a grocery store.

I need a Covid vaccination. I live in Gainesville, am 74 years old, and have not received a call from the Alachua County Health Dept for an appointment. I understand UF doctors can get me an appointment for the drive-up vaccinations at the Springhill clinic. How can I get an appointment soon? I have no symptoms of COVID-19 and am generally in good health, but recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes, taking Metform for it.

My mother-in-law left the hospital against medical advice after having a nephrostomy tube removed. She has a history of colon cancer and has been unable to eat for six months. She is 72 years old and takes Tylenol and amoxicillin. What could be the potential outcomes of her leaving the hospital without continuing the procedure?

I need antibiotics refill to treat cellulitis. How long have you had cellulitis? Has the antibiotics helped at all? Any side effects? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I've had diarrhea for a week now with an uncontrollable urge to go all day long. I've tried Pepto-Bismol and Imodium, but it's still somewhat uncontrollable. I've been eating bland foods like bananas, but the urge intensifies after eating. What could be going on?

I have been feeling sick or nauseous every day since the 17th of March. My period cycle was to occur on Friday the 26th, but I experienced light pink spotting on Wednesday the 24th, followed by bleeding and cramping for only 2 days, which is shorter than my normal 5-6 day periods. I took a pregnancy test that came back negative, but I am still feeling sick. Should I see a doctor if the symptoms continue?
