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.

View allI'm really worried because I've had a fever for more than two weeks now. I've been taking an antiflu antibiotic as well, but I'm not sure if this is normal or how much longer it'll take for me to fully recover. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
A fever persisting for more than two weeks is not normal and may indicate a secondary infection or complications from the flu. If you've already taken antiflu antibiotics and your fever persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment. The flu typically lasts from a few days to two weeks,

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.
To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature. If it exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period, consult your doctor. 2. Symptom progression: Monitor your symptoms. If they worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, seek immediate medical attention.

I've had a mild fever for the past three days and even after seeing a doctor and taking the tablets they prescribed, Im still feeling the same. Along with the fever, I'm also really tired and feel cold all the time. What should I do? Is there something else I might be missing?
most cases of viral fever in adults are not too dangerous and can go away on their own within 5-7 days, up to 10 days, if handled and cared for well
