I certainly wouldn't wait to see your doctor tomorrow - go to the hospital tonight!  The absess is not necessarily the main issue, maybe a symptom.  If your fever is high - above 103 and remains high - you should be seen tonight.  If this is indeed a staph infection - the absess - it is moving too fast for you to wait.  It could turn into blood poisoning so don't wait!\n\nGood luck.

Excedrin is a great over the counter medicine as it combines aspirin, acetaminophin, and caffeine.  You can also duplicate this at home...try having a cup of coffee (or a diet soda with caffeine) with tylenol or advil and see if that helps.  Also, if you're suddenly having migraines, you should go to the doc to see if there might be something more serious going on.  The doc can also prescribe migraine medications that can help, although they can be expensive.\n\nAnother thing that used to work for me was Sinutabs.  My migraines were sometimes sparked by swollen sinuses and that sometimes helped.  Try alternating hot and cold on your forehead and back of your neck.  \n\nEveryone who get migraines is unique.  You need to find your own best method.  Hopefully this gives you a couple of ideas to try.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMany Blessings,\nLilyth

Registered Nurse here; Hun sounds as if you are experiencing a viral infection, such as the flu.  However as you know dear, it's impossible for someone to give you an accurate evaluation here on Yahoo.  You didn't state your age, or any other disease process, the clammy feeling-worries me, for if your a diabetic this could be a sign of hypoglycemia.  Honestly, sweetie, I believe it a good ideal for you to go to the nearest emergency room.  You have several significant symptoms going on here.  The swollen lymph nodes (Glands), cramping, and clammy feeling are all symptoms of something a little more involved than a virus, or flu.  Just to error on the side of caution, I cannot with a clear conscious, suggest anything less than you going to the nearest emergency room.  Thanks for allowing me to address your question.  Hope your feeling better soon.

hi , i am a dentist. Gingivitis is not that serious but it must be treated and eliminated before it progresses to Periodontitis (a more severe form of gingivitis that might lead to losing a tooth). to eliminate it you should brush 2-3 times daily and floss once. the tender lymph node you're feeling might be a transient state of bactermia due to that ur not used to flossing. i would say continue to floss but make sure ur doing it correctly. if your lymph node swilling persists for more than two weeks then seek medical attention. please also note that a swollen lymph node might also be due to common cold or flu , or any other infection in the mouth , pharynx or scalp.

It sounds like an inflamed lymph node, nothing serious. Lymph nodes are the body's way of saying you have an infection somewhere near that area. Yes, go to the doctor.

You can't be sure that it's a migraine. It could be a cluster headache, those are more common in men than women. They are very painful, knife-like as you say. \nDon't waste any time. See a doctor, who can prescribe you medicine that you need to be able to handle life.

Have you seen a specialist? I have complicated chronic migraine headaches with pretty bad pain daily so I know somewhat what your going through. I also have neurological side effects and left side numbness. ( I've been through much testing to see what its caused by and its just complicated migraines)\nI have optical disturbances where I go blind through the day  because the nerves in my head are messed up because of the migraines and I start to see flashing lights and colours. I have found releif with medications and weekly injections into the nerves in my neck and head. I've also found releif with massage. I dont know if that would work for you, but definately go see a specialist! Prayer gets me through it too!

The first symptom may be a small, painless pimple or lesion occurring on the penis or vagina. It is often unnoticed. The infection then spreads to the lymph nodes in the groin area and from there to the surrounding tissue. Complications may include inflamed and swollen lymph glands which may drain and bleed.The onset of symptoms varies widely. The initial lesion may appear from three to 30 days after exposure.

I had the exact same thing happen to me a few months ago.  It was an infection.  When an infection is present in the body the lymph nodes are the first things to catch it and react.  That's why your node is swollen.  I took a week of antibiotics and it cleared up within a couple of days.  Those little cysts show up in ears all the time, and if they turn into infections all you need is an antibiotic.  You'll be better in no time.

I am curious to your age and menstrual cycle. I started getting migraine headaches at the age of 13. They came every month, with in an hour of the onset of my period. The older I got, the longer the headaches have lasted. The only time in my life that I havn't suffered from migraines, is during my pregnancies. The only other kind of headache that I know of that lasts that long, would possibly be a stress headache, or a sinus headache. A sinus headache can be as painful as a migraine. Depending on your location, and what the weather is like, could make the length of a sinus headache vary. Regaurdless of what kind of headache you have, I really think you need to see a Dr. and rule out the possibility of something more severe going on. If you do this, it might rule out a future stress headache!!! Good Luck to you, I hope you feel better. (Try a gentle massage of the neck and shoulders, and when they are nice & relaxed, work on the temples)

Migraines are a neurological disease. While you can see a general practitioner/primary care doctor for your migraines, it is really preferable to go to a neurologist...and, for that matter, one who specializes in migraines...\n\nFor the most part, when you get a migraine, it's triggered by...something. It can be a trigger food that is specific to migraines. It can be other types of triggers. It can, indeed, be allergies (food and other allergies). My allergies, for instance, can trigger skin problems, asthma problems, and migraine problems - separately and/or together.\n\nJust as each person is different, each migraine is, too, so your triggers are bound to be different from mine. But there are common triggers (possibilities) you might want to look out for... Not every one of these may have an effect on you. SOME of them may only affect you in combination. There are primary triggers (things that, all by themselves, will set you off), and then there are triggers that build up (things that combine with other things to trip you into a migraine state). Some things you can avoid...some you can't.\n\nWhile the following are common triggers, they are by no means all of the triggers that are around:\n\nAged cheese \nEggs\nTomatoes\nCitrus fruits\nWheat products\nAlcohol \nMSG \nChocolate \nCaffeine \nNitrites (hot dogs, bacon, lunch meat, etc.)\nSulfites\nAvocado \nFermented or pickled foods \nYeast, protein extracts, freshly baked yeast products\nOnions \nNuts, peanut butter\nDairy products, yogurt, sour cream\nAspartame \nMold/mildew\nBright lights/loud noises\nPerfumes and strong scents\nSkipping or delaying meals\nMissing sleep\nHormonal Changes (period/menopause)\nOral contraceptives/hormone replacement therapy \nWeather conditions, barometric changes, cold and/or dry weather\nHigh altitude\nTime or time zone changes/jet lag\n\nStress is not a trigger exactly, but in the same way that stress won't =cause= a cold, if you're stressed, it can often be a contributing factor.\n\nExercise (the kind that suits you - not going out and going nuts), stress management and relaxation, getting plenty of sleep (form good sleeping habits), avoid missing meals, and (this is a big one!) discontinue smoking - will all help. Basically all those thing people talk about as healthy measures...as taking care of YOU!\n\nKeep a migraine journal (to record what you've eaten or done that could be a trigger). Maybe do an elimination diet (same principle).\n\nIf you'd like to try vitamin supplements, they may well help as preventatives. Many migraineurs (folks who get migraines) take:\n\nMagnesium Oxide\nVitamin B2\nCoenzyme Q10\nCalcium + Vitamin D\n(when taking supplemental magnesium, it's necessary to take extra calcium to keep them balanced) \n\nWhile the migraine is raging, you'll need to try things to see what works for you. I see a lot of folks talk about cold cloths on their head or neck - I'll kill anyone that brings cold close to me, but it helps others. So cold OR WARMTH to the head of neck. A dark room. Soothing music or absolute silence. An urgent care clinic, if you get to the point you need pain medication, is better than an ER. You'll get seen faster, and you're more likely to be taken more seriously (I read a study in a recent National Headache Foundation newsletter about this, as so many of us are viewed as drug seekers, when all we're looking for is something to ease the pain...)\n\nAnd if you go to the ER/urgent care, instead of asking for a pain med, surprise them and ask if they can try an IV regimen that is now being used by many migraine specialists...it's a magnesium "cocktail" - that sounds odd, but =can= works. My migraine specialist (internationally recognized) recommends it.\n\nAbove all else, I wish you good luck with something that will let you get beyond the pain.\n\nTake care.
