I've got a sore throat that I'm pretty sure is an infection, and my tonsils are kind of swollen too. I've been coughing a bit, but there's no fever. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I should be doing to feel better?

Consider consulting a primary care physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, as your symptoms suggest a possible viral or bacterial throat infection, and they may prescribe antibiotics if necessary, or recommend symptom-relieving measures such as gargling with salt water, using a humidifier, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

View allI've been dealing with this body heat issue for the past three months. My palms and hands are hot almost all day, and when I touch any part of my body, it feels warm. My temperature hovers around 98-98.6 degrees, and I'm also getting headaches about 1-2 times a week. It's starting to worry me. Can you help?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which can cause increased body heat, sweating, and hand tremors. Headaches can also be a symptom of this condition. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my CRP level is way higher than normal at 39.1. I've also been dealing with a high fever. What could be causing this and how should I go about treating it?
Common causes of elevated CRP levels include infections, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, and chronic diseases. To treat this, you may need to address the underlying cause. If it is due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. In the case of chronic diseases, managing the underlying condition is important. For your high fever, you can take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to help reduce the fever and make sure to stay hydrated. Rest is also important to help your body fight off the infection or inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your specific condition.

I've been having some swollen lymph nodes on the left side of my neck for about a month, and now I'm also noticing them on the right side. They're all at the back of my neck. I thought they'd go away, but they haven't and seem to be popping up in new spots. Now there are three in total. What should I do? Please help me out.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but it's really important to speak with a healthcare professional to discuss your options. A doctor can guide you on the best approach for your condition and provide the support and treatment you need. Please reach out to a medical professional for proper advice and care.
