I have the flu with a fluctuating fever, coughing, and congestion. My temperature dropped to 96.9°F, which is lower than normal for me. I'm taking Tamiflu. Why did my temperature drop so low, and when should I worry about my temperature or seek medical attention?

I had gastritis for about 3 months and since then, I've had no stomach pain until today after taking 1 pill of enzymes. The pain lasted for about 4 hours and feels better now but still a little touchy after dinner. Did this reaggravate my gastritis?

Hello Doctor, I was hoping you could tell me if I have a common cold? I felt tired and very hot earlier this week, but didn't have any temperature issues. I took some meds and felt ok, but yesterday I started sneezing and my nose began to feel stuffed. This morning I woke up with a sinus headache, a stuffy nose, and I feel very hot but haven't checked my temperature.

I have muscle spasms from my temple all the way down the jaw line. I'm 46 years old and have cervical dystonia. My head used to lean to the left a lot, but now my neck is straight. I also have clicking in my upper left TMJ. The spasms started about two weeks ago, and I have to sleep on my back because of them. What can I do to relieve these spasms?

I was on clindamycin for 10 days instead of 7 due to dosage constraints, which caused my heart to race. After finishing the medication, I developed a rash on my arms and stomach, and my lymph nodes were swollen. The urgent care doctor diagnosed the rash as viral and prescribed a steroid shot and oral steroids. Given the side effects of clindamycin, could my symptoms still be related to the medication, and will the prednisone help if they are?
