I just finished a 5-day course of Paxlovid and am not experiencing any warning symptoms, but my doctor prescribed a cough pill. I have a dry cough with a terrible aftertaste and constant throat clearing. I am an 85-year-old man currently taking Sertraline, benzonatate, Famotidine, and Ezetimibe. What should I do about my cough and the prescribed cough pill?

I found a spot in the back of my throat behind the pharyngeal wall, on one side only. It moves around and I noticed it while dealing with tonsil stones. What could this be and should I be concerned?

I have white patches around my tonsils that appeared a day ago. I am currently using a salt water rinse and have a very minor sore throat. What could these patches be, and what should I do about them?

For the past few weeks, I've been experiencing bad heartburn, chest pain, a burning sensation, and discomfort when swallowing, as if food is stuck in my throat. My throat muscles also hurt, making swallowing difficult and uncomfortable, and I've been burping a lot, feeling bubbles in my throat. I've tried over-the-counter acid reflux medication, which helped somewhat but caused headaches. I'm concerned about throat cancer, especially since I'm a 30-year-old male who smokes and drinks alcohol occasionally. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

I have excruciating pain radiating from my belly button through to my back, and it burns when I empty my bladder. I have had a sensitive bladder for a couple of days and took Panadol at 6pm. I also have a history of endometriosis and had surgery last year. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?
