My son-in-law, who is visiting from Germany, has had a sinus infection for 3 weeks. He has completed two courses of antibiotics recommended by his German ENT and is now advised to try amoxiclav. However, the local pharmacy requires a prescription. Can a physician provide this prescription?

My son has had an ingrown toenail for a month and a half. We have been home treating it, but it has formed a lump that produces small amounts of pus now and again, and it hurts to touch. What should we do?

I hurt my shoulder a couple of months ago and got an MRI that showed a torn ligament. My doctor initially said it didn't need surgery, but the pain is getting worse daily and nothing is helping. The pain is constant and sharp, especially at night, and I'm currently taking ibuprofen or Tylenol. I'm 21 years old and have no other medical history. What are the odds I need surgery, and what should I do next?

My lanyard was dragging outside of my car while I drove. I came across an already dead raccoon on the opposite side of the lanyard. I touched the lanyard and touched my eye. Should I get a rabies PEP shot?

I have lightheadedness, sore muscles, sinus pain, and a cough with phlegm. I don't have a fever. My muscle pain has been coming and going for a few days, and it's achy. I'm 67 years old and take Nexium, Verapamil, Flecainide, Atorvastatin, and Esomeprazole. I also have a history of indolent lymphoma and a prolapse mitral valve repair. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
