I have had a salty taste in my mouth for several weeks now. My lips are dry, cracked, and bleeding frequently. I have not used any medication for this and will see a dentist soon. What could be causing this salty taste, and are there any known conditions associated with it?

I have been diagnosed with strep throat and have taken a test, received shots, and taken medication, but my throat hasn't improved, my appetite hasn't returned, and I'm having trouble sleeping. Additionally, I'm experiencing congestion, a high heart rate, and an abnormal heartbeat that feels like anxiety. What should I do?

I presented at urgent care last week with a swollen index finger. I was given Augmentin pills, but my finger still hurts a lot and is swollen from the knuckle to the mid finger joint. No sign of infection other than the swelling. Very painful to bend the finger. What could be causing this and what should I do?
