I have a severe cough, especially at night while sleeping, accompanied by fever and chills after waking up. The symptoms subside during the day. I am allergic to dust and dog dander, and I am 29 years old with no other medical issues. The cough is wet, sometimes with a runny nose and sneezing, and it worsens at night but is not constant. I do not smoke. What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

I have had two radio frequency facial treatments and am scheduled for a third on August 30. Despite using sunscreen, a sun hat, and protective clothing, my face still got sunburned while mowing the lawn and washing my car. Is this something to worry about, and should I cancel my facial radio frequency treatment on August 30? What effects does a sunburn have on an RF-treated face, and would it be wise to proceed with the third treatment?

I've been experiencing severe stomach pains and constant diarrhea since Thursday. The pain was better initially but has since worsened. It's sharp and stabbing, and I feel like I need to go to the bathroom, which is very painful. I'm currently taking Imodium, anti-diarrhea pills, and Advil. What is causing this and how can I stop it?

I tested positive for Covid and have symptoms such as cough, fever, and shortness of breath. I'm located in California and am 50 years old, taking medications like Losarten, Zoloft, Buspirone, and Atovarstatin. I also have asthma and caught Covid last year, but it wasn't as severe. I never got the booster. How do I know which variant I have, and would the booster have protected me from the most recent strain or minimized the majority of the symptoms? Do I need to wait until I no longer test positive and have no symptoms before I get the booster? Or does contracting this strain protect me from getting it again because I'm building up antibodies?
