I'm a bit confused about my health situation. I took my temperature with a thermometer, and it reads 98.7. I'm worried I might have an internal fever, but Im not entirely sure. Could you tell me what the temperature range for an internal fever usually is?

Internal fever, also known as occult fever, can manifest with normal body temperature readings (98.6-99.5F or 37-37.5C) despite the presence of an underlying infection or inflammation; in such cases, other symptoms like fatigue, chills, sweating, or localized pain may be present

Can a lymph node under my jaw swell because I've been touching it a lot? I've been doing this for a few days now and I'm getting really worried. Could my habit of touching be causing this swelling?

Yes, continuous touching or irritating a lymph node can cause it to swell. It is important to avoid touching or pressing on the swollen lymph node. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help reduce any discomfort. If the swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
