My daughter is sick with symptoms including a sore throat, runny nose, and coughing. She had a high fever for a while, which has now subsided, but she still has a heavy sore throat. The cough is dry but not serious. She is 10 years old and is currently using medications for her nose, pain, and cough. What should I do to help her recover?

I have swollen glands in my neck that started yesterday and are getting worse today. I can feel tender and painful lumps on each side, and swallowing is painful. I am 67 years old, not on any medications, and have no significant medical history. I have tested negative for COVID, have no fever, chills, body aches, or cough. What could be causing this and what can I do to alleviate the symptoms?

I have been diagnosed with Di George Syndrome, thyroid issues, and Myoclonic and Dystonia Tremors. I am currently on Brivacetrem after trying 7 other medications with side effects. I feel tired a lot and have occasional headaches. I have done some tests for my movement, including a written test and a walk down the hallway test for gait. I am anemic and bruise easily. Are there any other tests that could be done to check for nerve damage or other neurological conditions?

My 3-month-old son has mild redness around the tip of his penis. The redness is not worsening, is red in color, and there is no pain or itching. I have applied diaper rash cream. What should I do, and is it safe for him to sleep on his tummy?

I tested positive for COVID-19 on September 22, took Paxlovid for 5 days, and tested negative on September 28. However, I tested positive again today with a faint second line on the antigen test. I have mild symptoms like cough, sneezing, and congestion at night. I am located in Georgia, and I am 44 years old with no current medications. What should I do, and am I still contagious?
