My husband has a sudden lump on the side of his face that started about three days ago and has been expanding. It was not caused by an accident. The lump is getting slightly larger every day, is not itchy, and is the same color as the rest of his skin. He is 86 years old and is taking Vitamin D3, Forxiga, Metformin, Omega-3, Sandoz Erbumine, and Apo-Rosuvastatin. What could this lump be, and what can be done about it?

My 3-year-old has a fever of 103.1°F, which reduced to 102.7°F two hours after taking Tylenol. She says she has a headache and is going in and out of sleep. She also feels cold and had a cough/cold that ended a few days ago. Her breathing is fine, and she has no pre-existing respiratory conditions. Is it okay to wait until tomorrow to see a doctor?

I feel mild tension in my right chest, neck, and under my armpit for the past two days. My left arm is also sore, and this all started with my neck. I am 26 years old, not on any medications, and have a history of hypertension. What could be causing this tension, and what should I do?
