I think I have strep throat. I have a sore throat with white stuff in the back of my throat, body aches, a rash resembling hundreds of mosquito bites on both legs, and difficulty swallowing. I was in contact with a roommate who had strep throat five days ago. How can I diagnose and manage this condition, and how long could I be contagious?

I have diarrhea that has been getting worse over the past two days. I have no appetite, my stomach growls a lot, and I'm only taking Pepto Bismol. I'm 19 years old, don't have any illnesses, and the diarrhea doesn't have mucus or blood. I've been to the bathroom 6 or 7 times since this morning. Did I eat anything out of the ordinary before the diarrhea started?

I work in a daycare and have been getting sick with the flu on a weekly basis since January, experiencing fever, chills, sometimes a sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. I interact with sick children at the daycare and have not received a flu vaccine this year. I have taken ibuprofen for some of my symptoms. My blood work in December showed no deficiencies or concerns. What could be causing my recurring fevers and what can I do to recover?
