I recently was diagnosed with sigmoid diverticulitis via a CT scan, showing a small microperforation and small lymph nodes. I am 33 years old and concerned if this could be something other than diverticulitis. I am currently taking antibiotics (Cipro and Flagyl) and my primary care physician has recommended a colonoscopy in 6-8 weeks. Should I be worried about the lymph nodes, and is the colonoscopy recommendation standard protocol?

I have a cold sore under my lip that is spreading slowly and has yellow crust when dried. I've been applying an anti-bacterial cream, but I'm unsure if it's really a cold sore. How long have you had the cold sore? Is this stable or getting worse? How old are you? Are you currently using any medications? How would you like to connect with the Doctor - phone call or online chat?

I have been experiencing a sore throat for a few days, which has worsened due to a cold. I have been coughing a lot and having trouble speaking regularly. The throat feels full and dry. I also had chills, congestion, and a fever last week. I am 35 years old and have not had chest pain or shortness of breath. I need a doctor's note for missing work today. What can I do for my symptoms and how can I obtain a doctor's note?
