I'm currently taking doxycycline for acne and have a root canal next week. Would doxycycline help prevent dental infection, or should I switch to amoxicillin prescribed by my dentist? Can I continue taking doxycycline while starting amoxicillin 2 days before my root canal?

I had a potential HIV exposure on December 31 last year through sexual contact with an escort, where a condom was used but may have broken. I have experienced various symptoms such as weakness in legs, pains in legs or hands, and other body parts randomly, along with sinus-like pains, random teeth pain, headaches, GERD-related throat burn, and tingling or numbness in legs and hands. I have had multiple 4th generation HIV tests at day 16, 41, 42, 52, and 94, all negative. I am concerned about delayed seroconversion, HIV clade B type causing a missed infection, or a possible coinfection with Hepatitis C. What should I do?

My daughter has a burning throat and works in a daycare where there have been strep cases. We have no clinics open in Kamloops, and the ER is short-staffed. What can I give her to help her throat, and should I be concerned about strep?

I’m a 77-year-old female suspecting I have a UTI. I’ve been unwell for a few days, developed painful urination and a temperature of 38.2°C today. I also had a painful and weepy eye on Friday, diarrhea and nausea on Sunday, and worsening nausea on Monday. I’m currently taking Vit D, fish oil, 2 mg Melatonin at bedtime, and eye drops. What should I do?

I had unprotected sex yesterday due to a small tear on the condom. I took Postinor 1 this morning. What are the chances of pregnancy and how effective is Postinor 1 in preventing it?
