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?

Those symptoms can be uncomfortable and concerning.

Possible causes:

  • Tonsillitis
  • Pharyngitis
  • Acid reflux (GERD)
  • Postnasal drip
  • Muscle tension

Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or a primary care physician for a thorough examination and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned because I had a fever in the morning, and after I took some medicine, it went away. But then it came back again in the afternoon and at night. Is this normal, or should I be worried about this recurring fever? Would you suggest anything different I should try or maybe a specific kind of medicine?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a recurring fever. To help manage your symptoms, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce the fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the fever persists or worsens, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a cold that's been lingering for about five days now. I've been using Alerid syrup but havent felt any better. Do you think Hicet syrup would be a better option to help with this?

Don't self-medicate with Nexpro 40 without consulting your doctor again. Recurring gas problems may indicate an underlying issue, such as: 1. Acid reflux 2. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) 3. Food intolerance 4. Gut motility issues Chest pain on both sides, even if mild, can be related to: 1. Gas and acid reflux 2. Musculoskeletal issues 3. Anxiety or stress 4. Underlying cardiac conditions (rare, but possible)
