I have been dealing with health anxiety for 6 days, triggered by a recent trip to Cuba where I washed my face in the bathroom sink of an Airbnb apartment in Havana's Vedado area. I am concerned that I might have contracted Naegleria fowleri infection, especially since I am now 7 days past the incident and no symptoms have surfaced. What should I know about the likelihood of this infection and its typical symptoms?

My son fell and bumped his head Saturday night. Now he is complaining of a headache, dizziness, and has a low fever. Could this be related to the fall or just a cold? He is 9 years old and has had the headache for a couple of days. He has not vomited but feels nauseous. He also mentioned that his head hurts worse when he bends down.
