Question 1

I'm feeling a bit concerned about a swollen lymph node under my chin. It's tender to touch and has been swollen for about 45 days. This isn't the first time it's happened  its come up once or twice a year in the same spot but eventually goes away. Im just really tired of dealing with it. I had a head cold about three weeks ago but other than that, I'm a healthy 27-year-old and take pretty good care of myself. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question 2

I'm feeling like I have a fever, but when I check my body temperature, it seems normal. I haven't got a thermometer handy right now. What should I do? Is there a specific medicine you'd recommend for this?

Accepted Answer

If you're experiencing internal feverish sensations without a raised body temperature, you can try taking Paracetamol (Crocin, Calpol, or equivalent) 500mg-1000mg, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit stuck because my doctor recommended Mebex Plus tablets for me, but I can't seem to find them in any pharmacies nearby. Is it okay if I just take regular Mebex instead?
