My 49-year-old husband has COVID-19. He is diabetic, has a very wet cough, and his oxygen level has been fluctuating between 90 and 95 for 12 hours. Should I be taking him to the ER?

I have a rash and blister on my penis that started a month ago. The condition seemed to be improving until I applied Mentholatum AD cream, which caused blisters to appear. The rash is not itchy or swollen. I am currently using Terrasil Balanitis Relief and have no special medical history. What could be causing this and how can I treat it?

My finger is swollen around the nail, and I've soaked it in warm salt water and used hydrogen peroxide. It's been about a week since I got over a sinus infection, and now there's a build-up of crusty material in my nose when I blow it, which is a mix of dark green infection and blood. The swelling in my finger started from the pressure around the nail and I tried to cut it to release the pressure. The affected area is about 2 millimeters high on both sides and the back part of the finger. I'm using Polysporin and I'm 70 years old with a history of quadruple heart bypass in 2011 and diverticulitis. What should I do about the swollen finger and the nasal infection?

I am having pain in the right side of my stomach, which seems like extreme gas symptoms. The pain started in the morning after having pizza the night before. Yesterday, the pain was constant and sharp, but today it has reduced to a dull ache. I have no other symptoms except tightness and pain when pressing the affected area. I am not using any medication and am 30 years old. This has happened before, and the doctor then said it was extreme gas. What could be causing this pain, and what can I do to alleviate it?

I fell in the snow in downtown Toronto and my back and head hurt. How long have you had the headache? Is it sharp, dull, or throbbing? What medications are you currently using? Do you have any fever, sore throat, smoke, or stress? Did you have any vomiting or loss of consciousness since the fall?

I am having back left pain with nausea. The pain started Sunday evening around 8 and is constant. It is a sharp ache. I have also experienced fatigue and nausea. I am 27 years old and female. I have not taken any pain killers. About a week ago, I thought I was getting a UTI because I was having some symptoms but came back negative for that. I’ve been peeing a lot frequently this last week and it burns a little after I pee. No fever and yes, this is the first time with this issue. The pain has been at about a 6 on a scale of 1-10.
