My foot is swollen and painful, with sharp pain that started about 4 days ago and is constant. The swelling is mainly on the outer side of the foot and extends up to the ankle. I am 35 years old, not taking any medications, and have no significant medical history. Can you help diagnose the issue and suggest what I should do next?

I have a lot of mucus, a sore throat, clogged ears, and a sore back from coughing. My COVID test was negative. I was given cough medicine for nighttime, but it's not working. The coughing is mainly when I walk around or talk too much. It's sometimes wet and sometimes dry, and I sometimes hear a gurgle in my chest. I used the cough medicine the first night and was unable to function for the next few days. I am 58 years old.

The pain worsens with pressure and is accompanied by minor swelling and a burning sensation in the entire foot. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I am worried because my ECG showed an abnormal reading, and I'm unsure whether to go to the emergency department. Should I go to the emergency department based on this ECG reading, and what does a wide QRS on an ECG indicate?

Is temporal arteritis an emergency, and should you go to the ER if you have temple tenderness and mild headache, especially if you've had persistent headaches and new temple tenderness?
