I have pain in the inguinal area where I had hernia repair surgery before. The surgery was done in 1996 and a standard hernia mesh patch was used. There is no redness, but there is swelling on and off. The pain is moderate, around a 5 to 6 on a 1-10 scale, depending on the level of activity. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Does naproxen (Aleve) have a negative effect on nitrofurantoin mono-mcr? I am already taking nitrofurantoin mono-mcr and I just wanted to know if the Aleve, which I take daily, is compatible with it, as the directions with the nitrofurantoin mono-mcr are not clear.

I've been sick for over a month with constant pressure behind my eyes and all over my head, a cloudy head feeling, eye sensitivity to light, dry and tired eyes, a cough, feeling cold all the time, a hoarse voice, headaches, a tingling sensation in my head, nausea, and mild fever. I had a CT scan that came back normal and was diagnosed with a sinus infection but still feel sick. What could be causing these symptoms?

I am a 36-year-old male experiencing daily night sweats for the past two weeks, which has significantly disrupted my sleep and overall well-being. I am currently taking diclofenac for herniated discs but have been on it for years without issues. I have no history of night sweats before this and no current medications specifically for night sweats. What could be causing this sudden onset of night sweats, and what can I do to manage them until I can see a doctor?
