I have severe lower back pain and my heart rate has been consistently above 100 beats per minute for the past few days. I haven't been able to sleep due to the high heart rate. Should I go to the hospital, and what can I do to minimize my suffering?

My son is prone to inner ear infections and has had tubes in the past. He recently experienced fever when lying down but was fine during the day. Today, he wants to sleep and has fevers when he does, but no fever when he is up. He eats without issue but has no energy. Besides the fever, he has no cough or chills, and his breathing is normal. He had bronchitis two years ago and is prone to inner ear infections. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I have had a runny/stuffy nose for the past 10 days, followed by a severe cough 5 days ago. The cough worsens at night and when exposed to cold air, and it interferes with my ability to talk or operate normally. I tested negative for COVID-19. What is my current condition/diagnosis, and what can I do to help myself?

I am nervous about HIV due to swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I had unprotected sex with someone on PrEP almost 3 months ago, which was homosexual and with an unknown contact. I tested for HIV using a 4th generation test, which was negative. What else could be causing my swollen lymph nodes, and what symptoms should I watch out for?
