My 5-year-old daughter has a fever of 100.2°F, is complaining of pain in her lower right abdomen, and has chills. She also mentioned a headache. I recently tested positive for COVID-19, but she tested negative with an at-home test. Her breathing seems fine, and she has no cough, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. What could be causing her symptoms, and what should I do?

I just finished a 10-day round of amoxicillin clav on March 26. Most of the pain is gone, but I sometimes feel pain in the lower left side during bowel movements. I was constipated and had to manually remove stool, then passed constipated stool normally afterward. I'm taking 2 colaces a day and drinking a lot of water. Can I develop IBS from an attack, and how would I know when to call my doctor? I also had diverticulitis last month, which is why I took the antibiotics. Could this be related to diverticulitis, and what symptoms should I watch for if it is?

My 3-year-old is itching her body and has a rash that started last night. The itchiness occurs intermittently, and there are no other visible skin changes besides the rash. She has no known allergies and the rash appeared after her bath. She has been eating less, consuming water, had a runny nose before the rash, and complained about her throat. I gave her Advil. What could be causing the rash and what should I do?

When is double vision a concern, especially if it occurs only once and is accompanied by symptoms like dizziness and clogged ears?

My 2-year-old daughter woke up with labored breathing and a cough shortly after being put to bed. She has been coughing up mucus and her breathing is labored when she cries, but sounds congested otherwise. Should we take her to the ER?
