I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been dealing with strep throat for about a week and a half, and my right tonsil is super swollen. I've also been getting pain in my ear. Last Thursday, they said I had a sinus infection, but they didn't check my throat for strep back then. I just started taking amoxicillin today, two doses so far, but after the first one, I took a nap and woke up with this chest pain on the upper right side when I breathe. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?

it might be due to gastritis which is a side effect of Amoxicillin.

Ive been noticing that throughout the day, my palms and feet feel really hot, and other people have even remarked on how warm they get when they touch them. Could you let me know what might be causing this and if theres any treatment I should consider?

You may have an highly active metabolism which can result in feeling hot internally. You should however opt to get a panel of tests done in order to rule out specific illnesses. Recommended tests include CBC, HbA1C, TFT, RFT and LFT. If these reports are normal, there should be no cause for concern.

Had a tetanus shot about 23 weeks ago, but now I've injured myself on iron again. Do I really need another tetanus injection today? It's a bit confusing and I'm concerned about what I should do.

no need

Got stung by bees last night on my hand, and it swelled and burned for a couple of hours. I used ice, honey, and a baking soda paste, which helped calm it down. By this morning, there's still some pain and swelling, but it's minimal and not very noticeable. I didn't have any allergic reaction to the sting. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot?

you probably don't need a tetanus shot after bee stings. However, if you have any concerns or if the condition worsens (for example, if theres increasing redness, pain, or pus), its always best to check in with a healthcare provider for further advice.
