My son, aged 59, has had a deep cough for over a month, worse at night, sounding nasally with constantly plugged ears. The cough comes and goes, mostly dry, with no chest pain. He has used allergy pills and some cough medicines. He had COVID-19 in the past and recently underwent radiation for PSA elevation, along with surgery two years ago. What could be causing this cough and should he consider allergy tests?

I have COVID-19 and need medication for my sore throat. I am located in McLaren Vale, SA, where COVID-19 is fairly prevalent. I am currently taking Paracetamol tablets and am 52 years old. I have no other medical conditions or medications. I am vaccinated. What are my treatment options for my sore throat?

I’m using Super quad mix 60 units and I only get 3/4 of an erection. It’s also difficult to ejaculate. This has been happening most of the time for about a year. I had radiation treatment for prostate cancer. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

My girlfriend and I had sex on December 26th, but I never ejaculated inside her. She took two emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) on December 28th. Her expected period was on January 2nd, but she started having blood spots on January 4th and bleeding on January 5th, which she described as scary bleeding. After that, she had no bleeding but experienced lower abdominal pain, which has now subsided. She is 26 years old and was very stressed during this time. Is there anything to worry about? Are there any signs of pregnancy?

I was prescribed aspirin to thin my blood while in Mexico. I took one 100mg tablet, but the next day I had blood in my stool, so I stopped taking it. Am I okay to stop taking the aspirin, and should I be concerned about a headache today?

I'm concerned about liver cirrhosis. My bloodwork is normal, and an ultrasound showed a subtle increase in echotexture possibly due to fatty liver and an increase in liver echogenicity. My liver measures 14.9 cm. My symptoms are occasionally itchy skin, sometimes right abdomen pain, and red palms. Could I have decompensated liver cirrhosis with these symptoms? Should I see a hepatologist?
