I haven’t been feeling well for three days. I'm very tired, have a headache, and my resting heart rate dropped from normal 70-80 bpm to 50 bpm, sometimes going into the 40’s. I have been alternating Tylenol and Advil every two hours. I have a slight thyroid issue and think I might have a cold. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I went to Kenya on a fishing holiday and got trapped there. A condom split 18 days ago, and I got ill. I thought I had a urine infection and went to a clinic. They confirmed I had a urine infection and treated it with tablets, but also said I had HIV 1. How do I get tested and treated here, especially since I can't get an appointment due to the COVID-19 situation and self-quarantine requirements?

I have been experiencing an itchy throat and a little cough for the last 6-7 days and have been isolating myself. I have no fever and no difficulty in breathing. Is it okay for me to come out of isolation and be with my family at home?

I have been very careful about seeing people and being in public, but I woke up with a sore throat, tonsil stones, a low-grade fever of 99.9, and a headache. Should I be worried this is COVID? I took acetaminophen and aspirin, and I live in a small town with minimal COVID cases. I get strep often but usually without a fever. How can I determine if my symptoms are due to tonsillitis, and whether it's bacterial or viral? How long should I wait before considering antibiotics?

I have a broken femur with a total fracture and am in a cast. I was initially given 30mg oxycodone for the first few days after my break, but I'm still in severe pain. I've also tried Tylenol and ibuprofen, but they don't help. Can the doctor prescribe pain medication for my broken leg?

I have a bite on my arm and I can’t figure out where it came from. It’s been a few days, it’s not painful to touch, but it’s itchy when I scratch it. What kind of insect bite does it look like and how should I treat it?

My 2 year old daughter swallowed a penny. She seems to be breathing fine, has eaten and drank without issues. Do I need to do anything to ensure it does not become more serious or bring her into the clinic?
