My 3-year-old son was stung by a bee or wasp yesterday. The sting site is not very swollen, but it itches a little. Today, he spontaneously developed a fever of 39.6 degrees. Is this related to the sting, or are these probably different causes? It has been about 18 hours since the sting. Additionally, a red line developed on the skin leading away from the wound, about 6 cm, and the wound remains very itchy. When should the itching stop normally, and is the antibiotic Phenoxymethylpenicillin (Infectocillin) the right choice for this situation?

I have been experiencing migraines since suffering whiplash in a 2018 auto accident, accompanied by severe photophobia, dizziness, and cognitive issues. My MRIs show low-lying cerebellar tonsils, and I have tried various treatments including Amerge, CoQ10, Magnesium, and Riboflavin, but they worsened my headaches. Currently, I use Claritin-D 12-Hour and either ibuprofen or Tylenol, which sometimes help. My neurologist believes these are post-accident migraines, but I'm seeking a second opinion. Could these symptoms be related to something more serious, like Chiari I malformation, or am I just suffering from migraines?

I have been experiencing post ovulation/coital bleeding for 3 days and am unsure how to get this examined and how to stop the bleeding. The bleeding has been stable and not getting worse. I am not using any medications and am 37 years old. I had a pap smear and pelvic ultrasound a year ago, which showed small fibroids, but they were considered non-issue at the time.

I have a tear in my vagina from rough sex. I'm in a fair bit of pain and the last 24 hours I've been bedridden with muscle aches and dizziness. I'm worried they're connected. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do to manage and heal the tear?

I'm 19 years old and have been experiencing difficulty maintaining an erection for about a year, which started after I had an STD. I'm not on any medications and have no allergies. What could be causing this issue and how can it be resolved?
