I have COVID and am out of town. My son is pushing me to get Paxlovid. My doctor said no. She’s functional medicine. Not sure what to do. I feel awful with symptoms like a stuffed head, slight cough, chills, stomach ache, dizziness, and likely a fever. I'm on many supplements and compounded medications. What should I do?

I received a DUI and have noticed that my blood alcohol content (BAC) is unusually high even with minimal alcohol consumption, despite not feeling drunk. My general doctor was unsure what could be causing this. What kind of doctor should I see to investigate this issue?

I'm 3 weeks postpartum after a straightforward vaginal delivery with a healthy baby. I have a history of twins birthed vaginally 5 years ago. Starting day 4/5 postpartum, I began experiencing very sore/tender areas in my stomach, particularly just under the bellybutton, the left side of the belly button, upper stomach, and around the sides to my obliques. I initially thought it was due to the birth, but now, 3 weeks later with no improvement, I'm wondering if it might be something else. I have no fever and no loose stools. I have an urgent care appointment tomorrow, but I'm seeking any insight you might have.

I felt a different lump on the right side of my neck compared to the left side last year. An ultrasound showed a concerning lymph node, but an MRI showed nothing concerning. My primary doctor wants to check it again. Should I be concerned, and should I get another MRI?

My right arm from the elbow down is swollen and has been for months but does not hurt. The swelling has been constant, not getting worse, and my elbow moves fine with no pain. I am 74 years old and do not take any medications. What could be the cause of this swelling and what steps should I take?
