I'm a bit worried because I've been dealing with a stuffy nose, heavy head, and mild fever between 99.4 to 100.4 for the past couple of days. I think it started after being around smoking at a lounge party. Tonight, I took a crocin to help with the fever and a Montek LC for the stuffy nose and allergyIve used these before. Im also on hypertension meds, specifically Concord in the morning and Stamlo at night. Could you let me know if it's okay to mix Montek LC with these hypertension medications?

It is generally safe to take Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) for stuffy nose and allergy symptoms along with your hypertension medications. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding any new medication to your existing regimen, especially if you have any concerns about potential interactions. In this case, since you have taken Montek LC in the past and are currently on Concord 2.5mg in the morning and Stamlo 5mg at night for hypertension, there are no known major interactions between Montek LC and your hypertension medications. Just ensure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects after taking Montek LC alongside your hypertension medications, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and I've got a worry I can't shake. I tend to poke and press my lymph nodes pretty often, like maybe 10 to 15 times a day. Could doing this make them swell up or harm them? I know I'm checking them a lot, practically every hour, but I'm just really concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?
Yes, do not unnecessary press the lymph nodes. They are the organs which filter the infections from the body. These infection causing organisms will be stored in a dormant form in the lymph nodes so pressing it unnecessary is not a good thing. Secondly, examining oneself 10-15 times is alarming, it can be OCD with hypochrondria which requires medications.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a cold today, and I was planning to have a drink tomorrow. Do you think it's okay for me to have some whiskey? I'm really curious if it might affect my cold or overall health. I read some places say a little alcohol is fine when you have a cold, but others say it's not. I'm not sure what's best.
Alcohol consumption can have negative effects on your immune system and can potentially worsen your cold symptoms. It is generally not recommended to consume alcohol when you have a cold as it can dehydrate you and make it harder for your body to fight off the infection. It's best to avoid alcohol until you have fully recovered from your cold. Instead, focus on staying hydrated and getting plenty of rest to help your body heal faster.
