Question

Answer 1

I certainly wouldn't wait to see your doctor tomorrow - go to the hospital tonight! The absess is not necessarily the main issue, maybe a symptom. If your fever is high - above 103 and remains high - you should be seen tonight. If this is indeed a staph infection - the absess - it is moving too fast for you to wait. It could turn into blood poisoning so don't wait!

Good luck.

Answer 2

These may be symptoms of Hodgkin's disease, which predominantly strikes young men. I would not worry too much, though. Swollen glands are more likely due to the body fighting an infection (as is fever). Your doctor's appt. tomorrow should put your fears to rest. Even if it turns out to be Hodgkin's Disease, it is highly treatable.

Answer 3

lymph glands are part of the filtering system of the body, you may have to have it removed if it''s bothering you that much, usually they will biopsy it , just means whether or not it is malignant for cancer etc. could be associated with your migrains, have you had a complete blood work up done, that will show a lot.

Answer 4

The migraines are not the problem.
