I'm dealing with a frequent dry cough and I'm always thirsty. Drinking water helps a bit with my throat irritation, but I'm worried. I have hypertension and diabetes, so I'm wondering if these symptoms are related to my existing conditions. What should I do about this?

I'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

I'm experiencing sudden breathlessness, body pain, and weakness for the last month. All my blood tests, chest CT scan, ECG, and echo came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms if all the tests are fine?

I just ate some food and then found a dead lizard in the vegetable compartment of my fridge. I'm a bit worried about what to do now. Is there anything specific I should be doing to make sure everything's okay? Would this have any health implications? Any advice would really help.

Immediately discard the contaminated food and thoroughly clean and disinfect the fridge, especially the vegetable compartment, with soap and warm water to prevent the risk of salmonella or other bacterial infections; also, wash your hands thoroughly and monitor your health for any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps, and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
