I'm feeling really anxious because I went to the dentist for an emergency treatment today and now I've suddenly got this urge to cough. It feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this possibly be related to COVID? The dentist was super careful and followed all the protocols like wearing a face shield, sanitizing everything, using air purifiers, and taking my temperature. He even mentioned he hasnt seen any other patients in a month. Despite all this, I'm still worried. What should I do about these symptoms I'm experiencing?

Question

I have thyroid issues and I've been on thyronorm 100 mg daily. I only have two days left of this medicine. I went to the doctor and they said to switch to levothyroxine 100 mg. Are these medicines the same or different? Could you please advise me?

Question

So, I've been dealing with this annoying strep throat, and I've been on antibiotics for over 24 hours now. I'm really curious, is it safe for me to kiss my boyfriend at this point, or should I wait a bit longer? Just trying to be cautious.

Question

I've been having this weird sensation, like something's crawling in my right ear, but every time I look, I can't find anything. When I use earphones, it feels kinda hollow in that ear, and I've been getting these intense headaches sometimes too. The eye doctor mentioned it might be from dry eyes after my LASIK. Now, I'm feeling some slight pain in my right ear and a bit of numbness. What do you think could be going on, and should I be worried?
