I'm really worried because my baby has had a fever since yesterday. It's strange because only his head feels hot. I've noticed some kind of lymph nodes under his ear too. Should I be concerned and get him medication right away?

My eardrum ruptured six months ago from using a cotton swab and still hasn't healed. There's some mild pain but no pus. Is it normal for it to take this long to heal or would I need surgery?

I'm having a tough time dealing with this really dry mouth and throat, but it only seems to happen at night. I'm actually feeling super tired but can't sleep because of my anxiety over it. Could having a dry mouth be something serious or dangerous? And who should I reach out to for help with this? It's already 5:30 in the morning and I haven't slept at all, plus my tongue looks all white.
