My husband Raymond Osmond has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing a cough and stronger than normal headaches. He is 81 years old, does not take any medications other than Panadol for headaches, and has no known allergies or other medical conditions. We reside in Maclean NSW, and he recently returned from a cruise. What treatment options are available for him, and can a prescription for Paxlovid or Lagevario be provided?

I accidentally pushed earwax into my eardrum and can't hear out of my left ear. I need the best way to sleep before going to urgent care. Additionally, I recently had an ear allergic reaction and tried to remove excess earwax, but it got pushed further in. I also tried using hydrogen peroxide and water, but it didn't clear up. What should I do for sleep?

I have pain in my lower back and there is blood in my semen. The pain is not constant and is dull and achy. I have also experienced weakness. I am 33 years old and have had episodes of blood in my semen before, at ages 16 and 30, which resolved on their own. What could be causing this and what should I do?
