I have just tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing symptoms such as fever, headaches, and a croupy cough. I am nearly 75 years old, have a history of heart disease, and am currently taking medications including propanalol, metroplarole, zircol, aspirin, and cholesterol-lowering drugs. I am seeking advice on whether I should take antiviral medication and how to manage my symptoms effectively.

I started antibiotics for strep throat last Sunday, but had to switch to a different antibiotic on day 4 due to a reaction. I'm now on Keflex 500 mg twice a day and have been symptom-free for a week, except for small white spots on my right tonsil. Can I stop taking the antibiotics today, which would be 10 days since I started, or should I continue until Friday as instructed? And should I be concerned about the white spots on my tonsil?

I accidentally bumped my right pocket, which contained a mobile phone charger brick and credit cards, into the right side of my stomach. I have high pain sensitivity and noticed some pain, especially when lying on my right side. Do I need to be concerned about potential liver issues from this?

I have a condition where my tonsils have developed distinct pockets or crypts that collect bacteria, leading to frequent sore throats, abscesses, and hard pieces of pus. These issues often require ER visits for drainage and antibiotics. The condition has worsened over time, with more masses forming and my throat becoming more blocked. Despite treatments like salt water gargling and antibiotic mouth rinses, the condition persists and new masses continue to form. I'm seeking information on what this condition might be called, how to address it, and who I should consult for help.

I have been experiencing mucus buildup in my throat at night, which wakes me up and makes it difficult to sleep. This issue started after Thanksgiving and has remained stable with light, clear mucus. I am turning 50 next month and have no health insurance or current medications. My only family medical history is my grandmother who died of pancreatic cancer in 2008. Do you have any solutions or advice?
