Summary
Time for a sprinkling of happiness with a new exhibition at the Wellcome Collection.
Last time we heard how children's A&E is under huge pressure as infections, that disappeared during Covid, make a comeback. But doctors also warn that many of those children shouldn’t actually be there. Damian Roland a paediatrician in emergency medicine at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust busts the myths about fever and gives tips on when to take your child to A&E.
And the wonders of ear wax, until it builds up, that is, as it does for me. But it's not just ear wax that nurse Andrew Hill has found in people's ears - cocaine and spiders too. You get it all here on Inside Health.
PRESENTER: James Gallagher PRODUCERS: Beth Eastwood & Geraldine Fitzgerald

| 0:40.9 | Welcome to my new happy place. |
| 0:45.3 | Imagine the walls are decorated with massive photos of the rainforest, |
| 0:51.1 | each emitting a green glow, and the sounds of nature are all around us. It's so calm |
| 0:58.6 | and tranquil in this exhibit exploring happiness. It's bucket to get down now. It is. We're in the |
| 1:06.3 | storm. It's nice being surrounded by trees. I think after lockdown, especially when we've sort of been isolated in our own four walls |
| 1:15.3 | and then suddenly to be transported to a tropical jungle is particularly lovely. |
| 1:21.8 | Ah, so nice in there. |
| 1:23.9 | Producer Beth had to literally drag me out of that rainforest room in order to make |
| 1:27.8 | the Inside Health podcast. I'm James Galaher, and I promise you, we'll be going back to that |
| 1:32.7 | exhibit before the end of the pod. But first, remembered last week when we were talking about |
| 1:38.2 | how a rise in infections that had all disappeared during COVID was starting to make a comeback, |
