I'm in the process of applying for a visa and found out I need a medical certificate. They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?

visit a qualified healthcare provider, undergo the required tests, and ensure that the medical certificate reflects that you do not have any communicable diseases in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005).

View allI've been dealing with some weird symptoms recently and I'm getting a bit worried. Two weeks ago, I woke up with a really bad sore throat. I thought it might be because I wasnt drinking enough water in the mornings, so I started drinking more throughout the day. But, then last week, I started having this intense pain on the left side, right above my hip. It was pretty bad. And now this week, Im experiencing shortness of breath, some major headaches, and on and off chest pain. If I breathe in too quickly, I end up having this coughing fit. Its all starting to concern me. Could these symptoms be connected? What should I be doing about all this?

I just realized I drank water from a glass that had a mosquito floating in it. I'm kind of worried because I ended up swallowing it. Can you let me know what I should do next?
