I have been sick for over two weeks with a constant dry cough, ear ache, plugged-up feeling, chest pain, and sometimes tightness in the chest. I don't take any medications and I'm 37 years old. I may have had fevers in the early stages of the illness, but no shortness of breath. My throat hurts and I can't stop coughing. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have a small query regarding my thyroid. I got my thyroid test done and it shows that T4 levels are low, not within the range. I have symptoms like eating very little but not losing any weight and experiencing constipation. What could be the cause of these symptoms and should I be concerned about my thyroid levels?

I've read that HIV-2 is extremely rare and can take longer to detect than HIV-1, sometimes up to 9 or 12 months. I had a negative Ag/Ab HIV test at 6 months post exposure, but I'm worried about the rare HIV-2 window period. How long before I can conclusively rule out both HIV-1 and HIV-2?

I am experiencing flu-like symptoms such as a sore throat and muscle aches, but I have tested negative for the flu. My sore throat has been constant since Wednesday and is worse in the morning. I am managing the pain with Strepsils and a hot honey drink, and I am also taking Panadol. I am 52 years old and have no other significant medical history. What medications can help alleviate my symptoms, and can I get a sick note for today?

I have been experiencing various symptoms including chest pain, left arm pain, irregular periods, acidity, and a wet cough and cold. My EKG shows an RSR pattern in V1, and I have iron deficiency and increased potassium levels. What should I do for these issues, and are there any medications or lifestyle changes I should consider?

I think I had the flu. Today is day 3 and I am feeling much better. I was planning on going to the doctor today but I don't think there is anything they can be done at this point. I haven't had a fever in the last 24 hours. I just wanted to make sure it's safe to return to work. What are all your symptoms? Have you been feeling about the same lately, or have things been getting worse? If you're comfortable, would you mind sharing your age? Are you currently using any medications? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?
