I have been sick with the 'stomach flu' for over 4 days. It has been horrendous, starting with severe shaking and shivering, and now I'm making about 25 or more trips to the bathroom a day with strong stomach cramps and watery stool. I've only eaten a few saltine crackers and a cup of chicken noodle soup in the last 4 days. Is this a normal stomach flu, and what should I do?

On Friday, I went to my doctor for a cough and was given a Z-pack, Mucinex, and an inhaler. My cough has not improved, and now I am wheezing at the exhale. Should I be concerned?

I got food stuck in my throat a couple of days ago and was able to get it down, but since then, my lower throat hurts intermittently and it hurts to swallow. The pain worsens when I try to drink or eat, and it also hurts after eating for about 20 minutes before subsiding. Additionally, the pain occurs when I lay down. This is the first time I've experienced such after-effects from food getting stuck in my throat, even though it has happened a few times before.

I am having issues with my weight and difficulty getting erections. I am uncomfortable discussing these topics with my regular doctor. What can I do to address these issues?

My fingernails are splitting, thin, fragile, and have streaks, and I've noticed a lack of the white half moon at the base. I'm taking HCT, allopurinol, valsartan, and aspirin plus Oscal vitamins. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve my nail health?

I have been experiencing frequent urination, particularly 3-4 times a night, which is unusual for me, along with pain around my scrotum resembling a muscle pull. The pain is more noticeable when walking, especially on inclines, and has been present for about 2 weeks. I have no history of gallstones or recent sexual activity, and my urine color appears normal. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests or treatments should I consider?
