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?

Yes when there are reactive lymphnodes you have start a short course of antibiotics,if neglected might lead to recurrence.

View allI'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been dealing with a sore throat off and on for about 1.5 to 2 months now. Sometimes, it lasts for about 4 to 5 days with cold and fever happening every couple of weeks. I'm trying to manage it by gargling hot water regularly and I've avoided cold drinks and ice creams during this time. Can you offer any advice or suggest what might be going on?
Your recurring sore throat, accompanied by cold and fever, could be due to a lingering viral or bacterial infection, allergies, or environmental factors, and despite your efforts to manage symptoms, consider consulting an ENT specialist for a thorough examination, and potentially, a throat swab or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-allergic medications.

Usually Tinnitus takes long time to get cured, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management.
