I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.

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
