I am a 30-year-old female with a severe sore throat, fever, and body aches. I tested negative for Strep throat and Covid. My doctor believes it's likely the flu but didn't prescribe any medications. Why does my throat hurt so much, and what can I do to alleviate the pain?

My aunt was taken to a small town hospital in PEI Canada where they hooked her to morphine, stated she had cancer, and gave her two weeks to live. She has not seen an oncologist. What should I do to manage her pain and ensure she gets proper care, possibly by transferring her to a larger hospital for an oncologist's evaluation?

I woke up a couple of days ago with a pain in my left shoulder and left side of my neck. It hurts to turn my neck especially to the left. Should I use ice or heat and ibuprofen? I have a theragun that relieves the pain but only for a little while.

I am on Day 6 of a 3-week course of low-dose prednisone and have tested positive for Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of the immunosuppressant aspect of the steroids, especially given my history of cardiac disease (heart stent since 2010 and a monitored heart murmur). Are there any specific precautions or treatments I should consider?
