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?

Swollen lymph nodes near the ears, neck, and jaw, along with symptoms like cough and headache, could indicate a viral or bacterial infection, such as a common cold, flu, or an upper respiratory infection. It's important to monitor your symptoms, and if they persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and treatment.

What can I do to bring it down since I can't get any medicine right now? It's the middle of the night, and I need some sleep. I've already tried breathing exercises. Do you have any other advice?
If you are unable to get medicine right now, you can try taking over-the-counter acetaminophen (Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to help reduce any pain or fever that may be keeping you awake. Additionally, you can try using a cold compress on your forehead to help bring down your temperature and promote relaxation. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a comfortable sleep environment. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I can't really feel any warmth when I touch my body, but two different thermometers are showing that I have a fever of 101F. Should I be worried about this?
Its possible to have a fever without feeling hot, especially if your body is adjusting to the elevated temperature. However, a fever of 101F suggests your body is fighting an infection. If you experience other concerning symptoms like chills, fatigue, or discomfort, it's best to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
