I have congestion and a sore throat. I am 56 years old and have been sick for 3 weeks. My allergist thinks it's allergies. I had mono in my 20s and took a throat swab which initially came back positive but later negative. I also took a Covid test which came back negative. What do you think is causing my symptoms?

I got a hemorrhoid banded yesterday. Would it be normal to see blood during a bowel movement, and is it possible to have darker blood from the banded hemorrhoid due to deoxygenation?

I woke up with itchy marks on my leg and my daughter has similar marks that appear randomly on her body. They sometimes itch or hurt and take a week or so to go away. Could these be bed bug bites, and if not, what else could they be?

I have full body swelling, stomach pain, and foot pain that has been ongoing for at least 6 months. The pain is dull and achy. I have a history of a Thyroidectomy, Hysterectomy, and Gallbladder removal. I am 59 years old and have COPD, shortness of breath, and severe anxiety that prevents me from going to a doctor due to mask requirements. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I am having stomach cramps on and off today. I haven’t eaten anything bad, but I did start taking ferrous sulfate 325mg daily for anemia. Could the iron be causing the stomach upset?

I had a borderline positive HSV1 result from an IGG antibody test in July, but I haven't experienced any symptoms. I recently took a Blood PCR HSV test and tested negative. Is this a good indication that I do not have the virus, and if I repeat both tests and still test positive for the IGG antibody but negative for the DNA PCR test, what does that mean?
