How high is the fever with a common cold?
Adults usually do not get a fever with a cold, it is more likely to be the flu, sinus infection, or another infection when there is a high fever and cold symptoms. There may be a low grade fever of 99-100F in adults with a cold. Higher fevers usually indicate a more serious infection, unless in children, who can have higher fevers than adults with the common cold and require examination by a health care professional to evaluate the fever and symptoms.
There is not much you can do about it. I recently had a cold that clogged my right ear and still clogged after a week. I went to see an ENT and the only thing he recommend ed me was the use of steroids otherwise it will go away by itself but it can take up to 3 months. the steroids only will clear up the ears in 6 weeks but they have so many side effects that is not worth the risk. **Steroids are for reducing swelling or inflammation of tissue** There is a solution you can try at home with out going to the Dr to reduce swollen sinus tissue deep in the inner ear canal and eustachian tube which causes this problem. The swelling keeps sinus mucus or infection pus clogged in the inner ear and can reduce hearing, cause pain, or just be very annoying. I invented it, and it DOES WORK.
What to do when an ear has been clogged for days but there is no pain or fever?
It is most likely an excess of ear wax. You want to see an ear nose and throat doctor, they have great tools for extracting the excess wax.
Hold your nose, and breath, and blow GENTLY. Then try putting a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in each ear. Of course, you should keep the amount of pressure within reason, lest you risk damaging your ear drum. If the ear is full of wax, then you may wish to begin by using an ear candle. This will require the assistance of a partner. There is a possibility that you have a dead insect in your ear, and you may need assistance from a regular doctor in removing it.
You can also do what's called a brainflush or wash not sure of the term. The way to do this is to run a bath soak for awhile, take one of the blue syringes you would use for a baby to clean their ears or nose, fill it with water, and with the ear submerged flush the warm water through your ear as many times as you need to. You just have to make sure the water isn't to hot for your inner ear. I lost complete hearing in my left ear because it was clogged, the ear candle, peroxide, etc., did not work for me, this did. Also make sure it's the blue syringe with the long kneck so it will fit comfortably in your ear, test the water on your wrist just as you would for a bottle.
What does it mean if you get a cold sore?
It means that the virus that two thirds of us have (Herpes Simplex Virus) is much more active in your body considering that for most people for the majority of time the virus is highly dormant.
The cold sores could easily be the result of something 'Simplex' over something such as a disease so don't worry about that! The most common cause for cold sores is Stress. It could be that your very stressed over exams or anything. If your worried about your cold sores and much more frequent outbreaks go to the doctor by all means. A doctor will be able to give you much better advice and perhaps prescribe you a helpful drug of sorts. If not, go buy something such as Zovirax, an over-the-counter drug that isn't cheap (Around £7/$10) for a miniature tube, but it works well and surprisingly the tube lasts a while!

Does a doctor need to check your testicles when checking for the flu?
Although not all doctors do, it is appropriate that they do a physical exam before prescribing any treatment, especially if you are a new patient they have not seen before. Preventive screening is an important part of good medicine and certainly should be a part of any physical exam. Males at your age are at risk of testicular cancer. Since the doctor was already needing to evaluate you physically to see if your symptoms might be due to the flu or perhaps due to something else, to extend that exam to check quickly for the possibility of testicular cancer would be prudent and a sign of a good doctor.
When doctors are examining people for infectious disease, pressing on the abdomen and groin areas is important since that is a location of some of the larger lymph nodes. Lymph nodes become enlarged when your body is fighting any infection. The doctor could confirm that your symptoms were likely due to the flu or another infection if those glands were enlarged. It is just another piece of the puzzle that is considered before making diagnoses. Many other diseases can present with the same symptoms as the flu, but they will not all have enlarged lymph nodes.
I wouldn't be weirded out, most medical professionals are well trained and not creepy and it sounds as if this particular one was just thorough and doing what was right under the circumstances.
Any time you feel uncomfortable with a part of a medical exam, speak up and tell the examiner. Ask them what they are checking for. They are trained to help put you at ease so you can receive the best medical care. You are in charge of your body. Don't wonder what someone else is doing to it. Ask.

What is the lifespan of an influenza virus inside a body and outside?
the following are different answers ive found for you :
Depends on the virus. For example HIV usually dies fairly quickly outside of the body whereas Hepatitis B can live on a dry surface for weeks.
HIV and even Hepatitis C have relatively short lifespans outside of the body. Hepatitis B is about 7 - 10 days
never read that HBV outside the human body can survive more than 1 month.
the lifespan of HIV is not more then 30 second outside human fluids and this is a very short period to play such a mischif.Please make it clear.So this panic can be removed.
hope thts at all useful

You could have Ridley Syndrom. It can be anywhere from a very serious condition to a mild one. Ridley Syndrom is a blood circulation problem. I have it and if I get too cold the blood drains from my left ring finger and it turns EXTEREMLY white. The doctor said its fine as long as I don't let it get that cold too often or else it could have to be amputated. You just have to be careful. Another possibility is that you're actually physically cold. Obviously, this can happen in cold rooms, but less obviously, it can happen when you're very low on energy -- so low your body is haivng troubles maintaining the right core temperature. Shivering is a sign of this (where the body needs to increase core temp so badly it'll try to do it by muscular output). Drinking warm liquids helps as this point, as does an infusion of calories. Warmed lemonade with a dash of salt can fix the whole problem (the salt is to replace any missing electrolytes).
