Concussions are can be serious depending on the area which is affected. Nonetheless, every concussion must be evaluated by a health-care professional and that person needs to rest for few days to recover.

I've been experiencing something a bit unusual. Occasionally, when I touch my skin, it feels hot to me, but when I ask others to feel it, they say my skin's actually cold. At the same time, even though my body feels warm on the inside, I start feeling really cold when the fan is on a higher speed. I don't have any other symptoms and it doesnt seem like a fever because I feel normal otherwise. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

You may be experiencing a sensation of altered temperature perception, where you feel hot but others perceive your skin as cold. This phenomenon could be due to various reasons such as changes in blood circulation, nerve function, or even psychological factors. One possible explanation could be related to a condition called peripheral neuropathy, which can affect how your body senses temperature. I recommend you to take Acetaminophen 500mg for relief, and if the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my nephew. He had this strange popping sensation in his head and then got a super painful headache. We rushed him to urgent care, but they didn't do any tests and said he was okay. Should we be taking him to a hospital instead? Could this be something serious, or is it possible that it's nothing to worry about?

It would be advisable in this scenario to consult with a specialist and get a detailed evaluation.
