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?

I've been feeling like I might have accidentally swallowed a toothbrush bristle while brushing, and now it seems like it's stuck in my throat. But I'm not totally sure if it's actually there or if it's just in my head. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cough for over a week now. Could these things be related, and is there something I should do?

get it checked through endoscopy for further treatment

I'm feeling this heaviness in my left ear after I got slapped, and it just feels sort of blank. There's this dull, heavy sensation and a little bit of pain. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

Hey, I've noticed that when my husband sneezes, there's this really bad smell. It's pretty concerning. He also has bad breath every now and then. What could be causing this? I'm a bit worried.

If this is his only symptom, then it could suggest a sinus infection. If the smell is perceived by everyone, but not your husband himself, it coulf be suggestive of atrophic rhinitis. In either case, it is recommendable to get an ENT specialist's opinion.
