I've had swollen lymph nodes for almost three weeks, but I otherwise feel healthy and can't figure out why they're swollen. I've been to my GP and had an ultrasound and blood test, but I'm still waiting on results. I do have anxiety, and it's stressing me out that my lymph nodes have been swollen for so long. Any idea why this could be happening or how serious it might be?

View allI've been experiencing this strange wriggling sensation in my anus at night, and it's starting to worry me. I'm aware pinworms are mostly common in kids, but my anus gets really itchy, and I'm just not sure. I'm feeling embarrassed about seeing a doctor. Is there a way I can confirm if it's pinworms? Are there any over-the-counter medications that might help?
It's possible that you may have pinworms, as they can affect adults too, though it's more common in children. The wriggling sensation and itching at night are typical symptoms. To confirm, you can try the "tape test" (pressing a piece of clear tape to your anus in the morning before bathing) and check for eggs under a microscope. Over-the-counter medications like mebendazole or albendazole can help, but it's best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm experiencing a lot of excess heat in my body, and it's causing a bunch of side effects like loose motions, a really strong smell during urine and bowel movements, and burning sensations in my throat and when I pee. Plus, I'm having excess cold and sneezes. I've tried a lot of natural drinks to cool down, but nothing seems to work. Also, I can't even handle a little bit of spice. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
drink more water and coconut water and katora
