8 months ago I had a small lump behind my ear, and an ultrasound found nothing. Two months later, I felt another small lump just an inch away towards the bottom of my skull at the nape area, and another just below that on my neck. There was no pain, just swelling. I didn't worry about it because the ultrasound found nothing. However, just yesterday morning, the second lump I found is really sore to the touch. I iced it for a while, but it didn't help. Now, this morning, it's still very sore and seems warm and a bit tighter. Should I go to the emergency room or can I wait until tomorrow to see my doctor? Is there anything I can do to relieve swallowing and pain?

I had a hysterectomy on June 20th. I'm experiencing consistent pain in my lower to middle abdomen, a fever around 100.0°F, a headache, a stuffed-up nose, constant tiredness, a bloated belly, and it hurts to push on my belly. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?

What does thrombocytosis with giant platelets mean, and what could be the cause of my elevated platelet count, WBC count, and ESR, along with persistent cough and inflamed lymph nodes in my chin?

I had unprotected sex about two weeks ago and now I feel a tingling sensation at the tip of my penis. I don't see any rashes or marks, and it doesn't burn when I urinate. I thought I noticed a tiny bump, but I'm not sure if it's just my imagination. What could be causing this tingling sensation, and should I be concerned about an STD?

My husband had an affair, so I went through STD testing. Everything came back negative except for HSV I/II IgG, which showed a high value of 10.4. What does this mean?

I got hit in the groin on Wednesday, and by Thursday morning, my right testicle was swollen to about 1.5 times the size of the left one. There is also continuous burning pain in my upper abdomen, which worsens when standing and improves when lying down. The right testicle is purple and hurts upon contact. I had an ultrasound, which the doctor diagnosed as colis, but I'm not convinced. I'm 33 years old and from Cameroon. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
