A member asked:
My face is hot. is this a sign i should go to the emergency room for antibiotics?

Not necessarily: Warmth is one of the cardinal signs of inflammation, but inflammation is not necessarily due to infection. Do you have any other signs or symptoms? Swelling, pain, redness, etc? More info is needed, but you may have a skin condition.
