So, what’s the deal with C-reactive protein? Basically, I'm wondering—does having a fever automatically mean CRP is going to be through the roof, or is it possible to be running a high temp while the CRP stays totally normal?

Wait, how do you even puncture an eardrum?!🤷
I've been dealing with this chronic ear canal inflammation for ages—and yeah, I definitely overdo it sometimes when I'm scratching🙄—but there’s never been any blood before.😢
The thing is, the last time I messed with my ear was two days ago, yet this blood just showed up looking totally fresh.

Man, I was just cleaning out my ears when—bam—blood everywhere!!!😲
I’m actually freaking out here.😢

When I am—yeah, obviously no diarrhea then. But the second I try eating like a normal person again after three days, it comes right back.🤷

Seriously, though—is it even possible for this to drag on for almost a full week?😢

The only symptoms I'm dealing with are a mild fever—maybe hitting 99°F at most—and some loose stools. It’s not full-blown diarrhea, but definitely not "normal" either.🙄 This goes on for at least 6 or 7 days straight. Everything stays exactly the same—nothing gets worse, nothing gets better.🤷 My temp will drop, then by the evening, it creeps right back up to around 98.5.

Anyone got a solid recommendation for an occupational medicine clinic in Miami? Only condition is that I need to see a woman.
