Question

I've been having these evening fevers ranging from 99 to 99.8 for the past five days, and it usually happens between 6 and 10 at night. But then in the mornings, my temperature is back down to around 97 or 98. What could this mean?

Question

I'm dealing with a really annoying runny nose from a cold, and I'm wondering if something like Otrivin Oxy or the Vicks inhaler would help clear it up. Have you seen these treatments work effectively for this kind of issue? I've heard mixed things and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing to get some relief.

Question

I've been working out for the past couple of weeks, mainly doing pushups every evening, around 100 in 3 sets. But now I've started having this odd sensation where I struggle with breathing and swallowing when I'm having dinner. It's been going on for about three days. The feeling does go away after a while, but I'm worried. Could it have something to do with my chest muscles tightening from the pushups? I don't have asthma or anything like that. What do you think might be causing this?
