I need a doctor's note for work because I have a fever, congestion, a very sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, an infrequent dry cough, and chills. My symptoms started yesterday and have worsened today. I also have lots of dark yellow phlegm and sometimes there is blood in it. My breathing is normal, and I have no pre-existing respiratory conditions. I had a fever the week before last, but before that, I hadn’t had a fever in a year. Can you provide guidance on what might be causing my symptoms and whether I need to visit a doctor in person for a note?

I have received blood test results from a laboratory that include measurements of Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and Glucose (serum). The different units of measurement are confusing, and I suspect I may be prediabetic based on my glucose result, which has been flagged as 'not normal'. I am currently not in my home country and cannot visit a doctor. Can you help interpret these results and advise on whether I should be concerned about prediabetes?

For the past two weeks, I have had a very sore tummy between my belly button and just under my ribs. I've been very bloated, burping a lot, and have had diarrhea for two weeks. The pain has been bearable, feeling like a bad hunger pain, but this morning I experienced the worst pain I'd ever felt, like my stomach was about to explode. I felt like I needed to throw up but only bubbly water came up. I felt very hot and like I was going to pass out. The pain is not constant and comes and goes, feeling like a real bad hunger pain with a bloated feeling. The pain is normally dull but this morning it was an extreme cramp. I'm currently using ponstan for the pain and I'm 38 years old. I had my gallbladder removed and I smoke and was a heavy drug user. I am in a domestic violent relationship and have been extremely stressed out, leading to hair loss.

My son, who is 18 months old, has been throwing up his soy milk and experiencing constipation. I’m wondering if he’s allergic to milk protein. The vomiting started this morning and has happened twice after drinking soy milk. He’s not using any medications and hasn’t had a bowel movement in over 24 hours.

I have been exposed to a dead rat that my grandmother swept out of her house without disinfecting the area. I used the same broom to clean her floors, and my nephew played on the floor where the rat was swept. What signs of sickness should I watch for, and is there likely a treatment if we get sick from this exposure?

I’m a 27-year-old male and I’m considering quitting drinking alcohol. What changes will I notice in my body while living completely sober? Is this a good thing to consider doing?
