I've been feeling warm lately but don't have a fever. I checked my temperature three times, and it has been between 98 and 98.6 degrees. My throat feels a bit irritated, but there's no coughing. What should I do about this?

Given your symptoms of feeling warm without a fever, throat irritation, and no cough, consider the following steps: stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, gargle with warm salt water to soothe your throat, and rest to help your body recover; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a general physician for a proper evaluation and guidance, as it's possible you may be experiencing early signs of a viral or bacterial infection.

I've noticed that the lymph nodes beside my ears, near my neck and lower jaw, have been swollen for about 5 or 6 days now. Along with that, I've been dealing with a cough and a headache. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm dealing with a pretty bad throat and chest infection, and I'm trying to make sure I'm taking the right medicine. I've got Azithromycin and Gudcef CV along with Ofloxacin 800. I'm worried about the right dosage for Azithromycin each day. Can you help me figure out what the max dose should be? I really want to make sure I'm being safe.
