I've been feeling pretty rough with a cold and flu, plus my nose won't stop running, and swallowing is really hard. I also have hay fever, so I'm kinda worried if that's making everything worse. Could this be something more than just a cold? What should I do to feel better?

Question

I'm worried about what happens if an Indian house lizard bites you. Is it poisonous, or can it cause some kind of health issue? Also, what should I do first if it happens?

I'm having this persistent pain in my chest and ribs, and honestly, my whole body just feels sore ever since I got over COVID. I did see my local doctor about it, and they mentioned it might just be weakness and gave me some meds. But I'm still worried because I've had kidney stones before and I'm taking thyroid pills. Do you think this could be related? Should I get a second opinion or just wait it out?

Question

I'm feeling pretty rough since last night with this body ache. Now it's morning, and I'm dealing with the body ache, plus a headache and a slight fever. What medicine can I take to help? I want to mention that I'm allergic to floxacin.
