I tested positive for Covid and have been prescribed Paxlovid. I am hesitant about taking it due to potential side effects. I am 70 years old, have a high BMI, and am currently taking Glipizide. My symptoms are mild, mostly a cough, and I have not been vaccinated. What are your opinions on taking Paxlovid in my situation?

I found blood on the paper after wiping three weeks ago for three days straight, but it stopped after that. Could it be rectum cancer? What are the symptoms and should I go for a checkup?

I have been on three different antibiotics for my ears, but they are still stopped up and I am having a hard time hearing at work. I also have profound hearing loss and wear hearing aids bilaterally. I have been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, and my doctor prescribed an antihistamine, which I don't think will help much. I am struggling with this for almost two months now, and I am anxious about anything surgically related to my ears. What can be done to improve my hearing and alleviate my anxiety?

Is there a method to restore a 'photogenic' memory that was damaged due to an explosion and lightning? This memory was genetic and allowed me to automatically memorize everything I saw, read, etc., without needing memory tricks. I never had to study and excelled in academics and the military due to this capability. Now, using visual memory is not as effective, and I have to study, which causes headaches. I want to restore or fix this memory so I can return to academia as expected.
