Now, this could be a small thing like you having to drink a lot more water every day as dehydration can cause that. You also have to cut down on your brain’s exposure to loud music and blue lights from your phone which can be problematic. It could also be from your cervical spine causing you pain on one side of the head so, you need good pillows and need to sleep flat, on a bed, at night, with a range of motion exercises on your neck. Could it be an aneurysm? Possibly. Hence, you have to see a doctor about getting a CY scan of your head if indicated. Reduce any analgesics you take for this, preferably not taking any at all as this mask the pain without elucidating or treating the cause.

You need to see a doctor as soon as possible!

There are many tests that can be done to evaluate your hearing. If you have access to a computer and are able to go online, there are preliminary online tests to evaluate your hearing. These give you an idea as to whether you have any significant hearing loss or not. For a better evaluation though, you'd probably have to go to an audiologist or audiometrist who will have all the equipment at their office.

You say you’re 16 years old and these little bumps do not hurt. There are a few things that can cause these symptoms. What you’re relating suggests an inguinal lymphadenopathy, which is when you get enlarged lymph nodes in your groin. Some questions will be:

1. Are you having sex or have had sex?
2. Are you losing weight or not able to gain weight?
3. Are you having episodes of being hot at night or sweats?
4. Have you had any blood work done recently?
5. Have you been having any diarrhea or nausea and vomiting?
6. Do you walk around outside without shoes?

There are quite a few other questions, but you have to go see a doctor ASAP as any large lymph node as you described is abnormal. Some diagnoses to think about include Herpes Simplex (like a cold sore), Syphilis, or a lymphoma. Please visit a doctor, any doctor, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!
