Question 1

my head feels hot but no fever, how do i treat it and why does it feel hot but no fever?

Accepted Answer

: Fever in an adult is any temperature over 100.8. Occasionally people experience flushing of their face which makes it feel hot. this can be due to hormones, exertion, fight or flight reactions, and many more causes. If there is no fever, there is no reason to treat it. If you are uncomfortable with the flushing or heat, try applying a cool wet washcloth to make your skin feel cooler.

Question 2

i have iih. right ear and back right side of head hurt. head and back feel hot but no fever. spine starting to hurt.right side of face going numb.why?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of IIS: can include blurred vision, diplopia, positional headache, ringing in ears, visual loss. The Diamox (acetazolamide) should help lower the CSF pressure. Let your neurologist know you have these additional symptoms so he can bring you in for another assessment.

Question 3

why don't i run fevers? my norm is around 96.5. got to 99.6 last nt with chills and went straight to bed. my head feels hot, but no fever.

Accepted Answer

Body Temp: Everyone runs different temps. If your normal is in the 96 range and you jump up three degrees, sounds like you have a fever or infection to me. It would be as if you had a 98 range and jumped up three degrees.

Question 4

my face, neck and ears are blood red and very hot but no fever. my head and neck hurt too, what is wrong with me? i had a ct done and its normal.

Accepted Answer

Would need more info: How long has this been going on, does anything make it better, recent colds or other illness, medications you take would all be important questions. Ruling out infection of sinuses, teeth, throat, or soft tissues of the neck, is the first priority. Dehydration and muscle tension are responsible for most headaches. Flushing could be due to anything from  common allergies to rare vascular conditions

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Sensations: These sensations could be a manifestation of release of chemicals at the skin level related to a type of a reaction causing vasodilation. This would be akin to blushing. Such reactions may be a response to temperature changes, certain foods or spices or chemicals. The cause may be quite elusive,however.  In the meantime observe for skin changes and any evidence of the above causes.
