I've been having some discomfort after anal sex, especially when I'm having a bowel movement. There's a bit of blood in the stool, and I'm not sure if it's an anal fissure or something else. It's really worrying me. Should I go see a gynecologist, a surgeon, or just a general physician? Also, what kind of tests or diagnosis should I expect?

I've just found out that I've got hemorrhoids and I'm only 17, so it's my first time dealing with them. Something odd has happenedwhen the hemorrhoids appeared, I noticed a bunch of pimples showing up around my butt and thighs. I usually get one or two pimples on my butt every few months, but now it's more like 20! Do you think this could be connected to the hemorrhoids somehow? It's kinda freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be really appreciated.

After weight lifting, you have developed chronic pain in your left leg, specifically on the middle dorsal side down to the knee. I recommend taking a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take a tablet of Aceclofenac 100mg along with Thiocolchicoside 4mg. This will help reduce the pain and inflammation in your leg. Additionally, I suggest applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the painful area. This will provide localized relief from the pain and discomfort. Make sure to rest your leg, elevate it when possible, and avoid any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Whats the ideal vitamin D range for women? I got my vitamin D levels checked today and theyre at 44. Based on this, should I be considering any supplements? Also, I sometimes take Shelcal HD on and off.

The normal vitamin D range for women is typically between 30 to 50 ngmL. Since your vitamin D level is 44 ngmL, it falls within the normal range. However, if you have symptoms of vitamin D deficiency or if your doctor recommends it, you can consider taking supplements. Shelcal HD is a good calcium supplement, but for vitamin D supplementation, you can consider taking "D-rise" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by "Uprise D3" 60,000 IU once a month. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice regarding supplementation.

So my 22-year-old brother has had a cold and fever since yesterday, and we just found out he's positive for coronavirus. His pulse is over 100 even when he's relaxed, and his oxygen saturation is around 93-94. He's dizzy and his nose is completely blocked, plus his fever's hovering around 99. The online doctor suggested waiting it out with nasal spray and flu meds. Should I be thinking about taking him to the hospital, or is it okay to give it a few more hours to see if the meds help?

I'm really concerned about a friend who recently got their blood test results back. They tested positive for Hepatitis B, and I'm trying to understand what the results mean. The results showed a Hepatitis B viral load of 940 IUml with a log value of 2.97, and the viral load was 5471 copiesml. I'm not sure if these numbers are high or what they indicate. Could you help me interpret if the results are positive or negative for Hepatitis B? I'm really anxious to get some clarity on this.

Based on the results provided, your friend has tested positive for Hepatitis B. The quantitative viral load results show 940 IUml and 5471 copiesml, indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. It is important for your friend to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In cases like this, antiviral medications such as Entecavir or Tenofovir may be prescribed to help manage the infection. The dosage and duration of treatment will be determined by the healthcare provider based on individual factors.

What's Ambulaxm used for? The doctor has prescribed it to me for 10 days, and Im wondering if thats safe or not.

Ambulax-M is a combination medication used to treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) such as abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort. It contains Mebeverine and Chlordiazepoxide. Mebeverine helps to relieve muscle spasms in the intestines, while Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine that helps to reduce anxiety and stress-related symptoms that can worsen IBS. The prescribed duration of 10 days is safe for this medication. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects while taking Ambulax-M, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm thinking about taking a 2mg vitamin B6 supplement every day, but I'm a bit worried. Could that small amount cause any kind of toxicity or lead to nerve problems like neuropathy? Just want to be sure it's safe before I start. What do you think?

Taking 2mg of vitamin B6 daily is generally considered safe and should not cause toxicity or neuropathy. However, long-term intake of high doses of vitamin B6 (more than 100mg per day) may lead to neurological symptoms such as neuropathy. It is important to stay within the recommended daily allowance to avoid any potential adverse effects.

I'm really confused about my recent health check-up results. My SGPT is 155 and SGOT is 180, but I'm not a drinker, so I'm puzzled about what might be causing this. All my hepatitis virus tests came back negative. An ultrasound discovered a grade 2 fatty liver, and my fibroscan is showing 9.5. I don't have any symptoms, just found out through a regular check-up. Could you give me some advice or suggest a treatment plan for this?

Based on your test results showing elevated liver enzymes and the presence of grade 2 fatty liver, it is important to address the underlying cause and manage your condition. Since hepatitis virus tests are negative, the elevation in liver enzymes may be due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I recommend starting treatment with Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 10-15 mgkgday. This medication can help improve liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. In addition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are crucial in managing NAFLD. It is also important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your liver function tests and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a fever of 100.5 last week and hasn't had blood pressure issues before, but her BP was around 100160. We've had some family stress lately, so I'm thinking that might be affecting her health. The doctor did some tests like lipid, fasting sugar, uric acid, and creatinine, and they all came back normal. However, her BP has consistently been 100150 when we've checked recently. The doctor suggested starting her on Olmecip. I'm wondering, is there a way to manage her blood pressure without having to use medication? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and avoiding tobacco and alcohol can help in controlling blood pressure. However, in some cases, medication may be necessary. In your mother's case, since her blood pressure readings have been consistently high, the doctor prescribed Olmecip. This medication is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that helps to relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. The usual starting dose of Olmecip is 20mg once daily. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and monitor blood pressure regularly.

I'm a 22-year-old male, and I've recently noticed that my nipples are puffy. When I press them, I can feel a lot of lumps underneathsome are small, some are big, flat, or even pointed, and they're quite painful. Should I be worried about this? Is there something specific I should do or look out for?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called gynecomastia, which is the swelling of breast tissue in boys or men caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. In your case, the presence of painful lumps in both nipples could indicate a more severe form of gynecomastia. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel on the affected area. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your condition.

My daughter's been dealing with cough, cold, and fever since yesterday morning, and her fever spikes up to 101 degrees. When we give her Dolo or Ibugesic syrup, the fever drops but comes back after about 6 hours. She also experiences chills before the fever returns. We've been giving her Timnic for the cold and Tycklix for the cough. Can you tell me how long it might take for her to stabilize? Should we be thinking about antibiotics now? Just last week, she had stomach issues and fever, and was on Rantac and Azee syrup for that. What should we do?

Considering the symptoms of persistent fever with chills, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation. Antibiotics may be considered if there are signs of a bacterial infection, such as prolonged fever or worsening symptoms. It is important to complete the course of antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor. In the meantime, continue with the current medications for cold and cough as directed. If the fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.

My mom is 60 and she's having issues with her intestines being trapped and swollen. I'm really worried and need to know how this can be treated. It's quite urgent. Could you help me understand what steps we should take?

Intestinal obstruction can be a serious medical condition, especially in older adults. The treatment for intestinal obstruction typically involves hospitalization and may include intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration, nasogastric suction to decompress the intestines, and potentially surgery to remove the blockage. In some cases, medications such as laxatives or enemas may be used to help clear the obstruction. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect intestinal obstruction, as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been having a hard time sleeping for the last couple of months. Most nights, I'm struggling to fall asleep until after midnight or even later, but weirdly, I wake up at my usual time. For the past two years, I've been waking up with a sore nose, but now I'm also dealing with headaches when I wake up. I feel exhausted all the time, and it seems to be making me feel more and more down. I tried taking melatonin before, but even the tiniest amount makes me wake up feeling sick. I'm starting to get worried, could this be something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of insomnia and possibly sleep apnea, which could be contributing to your headaches, fatigue, and depression. I recommend trying over-the-counter sleep aids such as ZzzQuil (diphenhydramine) to help improve your sleep quality. Additionally, you may benefit from using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) for your nasal congestion. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach problems for the last two months, like cramps, abdominal pain, weird motions, mild fever, red eyes, and headaches. I first saw one gastro doctor who thought it was an infection and gave me some medications like Zifi, Satrogyl, and Nizonide. He wanted me to do a bunch of tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests. I went to another senior gastro in Noida, and he said it's IBS and no need for all those tests. But then after his 10-day course, the issues came back, and he also blamed another infection. Now, it's been about 20 days since my stomach has been better, and I'm taking Menoctyl, Enzar Forte, and Vizylac. What's really bothering me is that I've lost 8-9 kg of weight despite eating enough lately, and my weight isn't going up. Is this normal? Should I stick with the same gastro since I'm finally feeling some relief? The weight loss is freaking me out a bit.

I've been dealing with a lot of strange symptoms lately and I'm getting really worried about whether this might be omicron. So it all started with a sore throat a couple of weeks ago, which went away with medicine, but then I got a dry cough right after. The cough stopped, but since then, I've had this crazy muscle pain all over my body. I switched doctors and did a CBC test; the results showed my WBC and platelets were a bit high. The new doctor gave me amoxicillin, pacimol, and zecal active. The body pain faded, but now I have a cold and a lot of wet coughing. I skipped pacimol once, and that muscle pain is back with a vengeance. I haven't done a test yet because my exams are coming up and I'm always on the move in Mumbai local trains, although I wear a double mask and I'm fully vaccinated. Still, could this be omicron? Should I just take something like limcee, steam, or pcm at home? What steps should I follow to get better?

It's possible that you have a viral infection (possibly Omicron or another strain of flu), but you should ideally get tested to confirm. At-home measures such as rest, hydration, steam inhalation, and PCM can help manage your symptoms. Keep your doctor updated if symptoms persist or worsen. Lastly, double masking and social distancing are important, especially since you're traveling in crowded areas. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult your doctor if you're unsure about any medications or treatments.

I'm 32 and expecting my second child, and I'm 5 weeks and 4 days along based on my scan. The scan didn't show the yolk sac yet, and my doctor said it might take up to 10 days more to see it. She mentioned it's normal for it to not be visible this early. Is this something I should be worried about, and when might I actually see the yolk sac and fetal pole?

based on your current gestational age, its likely that everything will be visible at your next scan in 10 days.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent CBC test results. Everything seems normal except for my monocyte count, which is at 80.6 cellscu.mm, whereas I understand the normal range should start from 200. My total WBC is 6200 cellscu.mm, with neutrophils at 4327, lymphocytes at 1636, basophils at 24.8, and eosinophils at 130.2. My platelet count is 303,000, and the peripheral blood smear showed a normocytic normochromic blood picture, so no issues there. Should I be worried about that low monocyte count? Is there something specific I should be looking into?

No immediate concerns based on this report. Your results seem to suggest that everything is within the typical range. Follow-up: If you are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, fever, or unexplained pain, you might want to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. A low monocyte count alone, especially with normal total white blood cell count and other parameters, is typically not a cause for concern. Monitor your health: Keep track of any changes in your health or any symptoms and consult a doctor if needed.

I'm currently taking Sompraz 40, Actapro 100 mg, and Telma H 40 for my health conditions, and I recently found out that my ESR level is 22. I'm kind of worriedcould these medications be affecting my ESR readings?

The medications you're taking do not directly affect your ESR reading. If you're concerned about an elevated ESR or related symptoms (such as fever, unexplained weight loss, joint pain, etc.), it would be best to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can assess the root cause of your symptoms and whether further testing or adjustments to your treatment plan are necessary.

I've had a surgery and circumcision when I was 9, and there's always been this tiny bump near the stitch under the skin of my penis shaft. Lately, it's swollen, and sometimes there's this white fluid coming out. It's painful if I touch it. I'm kind of worried it might be an infection or something. I'm trying to avoid going to a hospital right now, so I thought I'd ask for advice online first. Any idea what's going on?

Even though you're trying to avoid going to a hospital, if the situation doesn't improve or worsens, it may be necessary to see a healthcare provider. In some cases, an incision and drainage might be needed if there's an abscess or infected cyst. Please monitor the area closely, and if symptoms worsen, do not hesitate to seek medical attention.

Hey, so I've got some bilirubin levels here, and I'm a bit confused about what they mean. My Bilirubin Total is 1.95, Bilirubin Direct is 0.57, and Bilirubin Indirect is 1.38. I'm not sure if these numbers are something I should be worried about. Could you let me know which type of doctor I should talk to about this?

Consult with a Gastroenterologist or Hepatologist: This will help determine the underlying cause of your elevated bilirubin levels. Further Testing: The doctor might suggest tests such as liver function tests, ultrasound, or CT scans of the liver and biliary system to investigate the source of the issue. Lifestyle Adjustments: Depending on the cause, your doctor may recommend dietary changes, avoiding alcohol, or medication. If you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, abdominal pain, or fatigue, be sure to mention these when you consult your doctor.

I've been having this really uncomfortable acid reflux where I feel like throwing up or actually do after eating. I recently saw a doctor, who asked me to get a Bilirubin test. The results showed Bilirubin Total at 1.84 (range is 0.2 to 1.3) and Bilirubin Direct at 1.05 (range is 0.0 to 0.30). The doctor said it's Jaundice, but I'm not sure about that. Could you check out my report and tell me what the symptoms of Jaundice typically are?

Jaundice can result from high bilirubin levels, and elevated direct bilirubin often points to liver or bile duct issues. However, your symptoms like acid reflux and vomiting could indicate something different, such as gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), or another digestive issue. It is important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any serious conditions and to confirm a diagnosis. If you have additional symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes, or if your discomfort worsens, it would be critical to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm also having trouble breathing, and my heartbeat gets really fast. This has been happening for about a month, even though I stopped drinking alcohol. I've tried to have a drink a couple of times since then, but the same problem occurs. This never happened before, and I've been drinking for years. I got a body check-up two months ago, and everything was normal. What could be going on with me, and should I be concerned?

I'm dealing with this condition called ITP, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, and it's been about a month now. Initially, I had treatment with single donor platelets, 3 units, but they didn't work for me. After that, the doctor gave me 5 units of IV immunoglobulins, which brought my platelet count up to 80,000. But now, it's fallen back to 28,000. I'm really worried about this drop. Can you explain why this might be happening and what other treatments or steps I should consider?

I'm really concerned about my recent test results and hoping you can help me make sense of them. I got a 1g Jilazo injection back in May when my ferritin was 14 ngml, total iron was 80 mcgdL, TIBC was 339 mcgdL, and Hb was 9.7 gdL. I've got beta thalassemia trait and was told to take Folvite and Quicobal 1500 mcg. When I got tested again in August, my Hb dropped to 9.3, TIBC was 242 mcgdL when it normally should be between 265 and 297, total iron was down to 70 mcgdL, and ferritin had jumped to 280 ngmL, way higher than the normal 13 to 150 ngdL range. I'm worried if the high ferritin and low TIBC are because of the Jilazo injection, and I'm trying to understand why my Hb and iron levels have decreased. Does high ferritin mean something bad, and should I be concerned since I also have Acidic GERD and Grade A Esophagitis? Would love your thoughts.

I'm experiencing really intense pain on one side of my face and I've just started swimming. It began with a slight cold but has gotten way worse over the last couple of days. Could you suggest any immediate medication that might help? I'm planning on seeing the doctor tomorrow, but until then, any advice would be great. I've tried taking steam but it only helped a little bit and the pain is still really bad.

Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or juice. This will help dilute mucous secretions and promote drainage. Avoid beverages that contain caffeine or alcohol, as they can be dehydrating. Drinking alcohol can also worsen the swelling of the lining of the sinuses and nose. Moisten your sinus cavities. Drape a towel over your head as you breathe in the vapor from a bowl of hot water. Keep the vapor directed toward your face. Or take a hot shower, breathing in the warm, moist air. This will help ease pain and help mucus drain. Apply warm compresses to your face. Place warm, damp towels around your nose, cheeks and eyes to ease facial pain..Consult nearest ent surgeon they will do the needful.

My son had some beetroot rice this afternoon, and now his urine has turned a pinkish color 34 times. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal?

I've been dealing with a constipation issue and I'm currently using freelaxsp syrup. Do you have any tips or remedies to help prevent it from coming back? I'm really eager to find a solution that works.

To prevent constipation, consider incorporating dietary changes, such as increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and establishing a consistent bowel routine; additionally, you can try natural remedies like triphala powder, psyllium husk, or flaxseeds, but consult your doctor before stopping or replacing Freelax-SP syrup with any new supplements.

I came down with the flu and had a really runny nose, so I took fexet D, but now my nose feels completely blocked and there's some chest congestion going on. I've started taking amoxil 500mg once a day since yesterday. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms and medications? Is there anything else I should be doing to feel better?

It's common for decongestants like Fexet D to initially relieve nasal congestion, only to lead to rebound congestion; meanwhile, Amoxil 500mg (amoxicillin) is an antibiotic that may help with secondary bacterial infections, but may not directly address the congestion; consider adding a mucolytic agent like ambroxol or acetylcysteine to thin mucus, and consult your doctor to reassess your treatment plan, as the dosage and duration of Amoxil may need adjustment.

Can taking paracetamol help with a stomachache? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective for this kind of pain. What do you think?

Paracetamol is not typically recommended for stomach aches, as it's primarily used to relieve headaches, fever, and body aches; instead, consider over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole, but if your stomach ache persists or worsens, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with a fever, sore throat, and this dry cough for the past three days. I saw a doctor and started on Cifran 500 mg and Crocine. But now I've started shivering, and my temperature is around 99.4F. Do you have any advice on what I should do next? Its starting to concern me.

To help manage your symptoms: Medication 1. Continue Cifran 500 mg: Complete the full course as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully treated. 2. Crocine: Continue taking Crocine as directed for fever management. Additional Measures 1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, and electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks. 2. Rest: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 3. Warm liquids: Enjoy warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 4. Honey: Consider adding honey to your warm liquids, as it has antimicrobial and soothing properties. 5. Saline gargle: Gargle with warm saline water several times a day to help reduce throat inflammation. 6. Humidify: Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, which can help relieve dry cough and congestion. Monitoring 1. Temperature: Keep track of your temperature. If it exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for an extended period, consult your doctor. 2. Symptom progression: Monitor your symptoms. If they worsen or you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm really concerned about my wife. About three weeks ago, she got an injection in her left hip at an authorized hospital because she was having stomach pain. Just yesterday, she noticed a lump at the injection site. There's not a lot of pain, but she does feel a little bit when it's pressed. I'm worried about what could be causing this lump and if it's something we should be concerned about. Is there anything I should do?

The lump at the injection site on your wife's left hip could be due to an inflammatory reaction, infection, abscess, or granuloma formation, and although it's likely a benign complication, it's essential to consult the doctor who administered the injection or visit the hospital's emergency department to rule out any serious infections or adverse reactions, and ensure proper evaluation and treatment.

I'm a bit worried because I just drank Hot Milk Tea right after having Whey Protein with water. Should I be expecting any stomach issues, or is it okay to mix those two? I'm curious if anyone else had this experience or if it might cause any problems for me.

Consuming hot milk tea immediately after whey protein with water is unlikely to cause significant stomach issues, as milk and protein can complement each other, but potential discomfort may arise from the temperature change, lactose intolerance, or individual sensitivity to dairy or protein, so monitor your body's response and adjust your routine accordingly.

Your symptoms of weakness, hunger, fatigue, and knee joint pain after bowel movements could be related to various factors, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastrointestinal infection, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or nutrient deficiencies; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, and in the meantime, try to maintain a food diary to track your symptoms, eat smaller, frequent meals, and stay hydrated to help manage your symptom

Both cow and buffalo ghee offer health benefits, but cow ghee is generally considered superior due to its higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which may aid in weight management and immune function; however, choose a high-quality, grass-fed, and cultured ghee from either source to reap the benefits.

Given your symptoms, consider taking a blood pregnancy test (beta hCG) for more accurate results, and consult your gynecologist to rule out other conditions, such as yeast infections (causing discharge and burning), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances, which may be contributing to your fatigue, back pain, and frustration, and also discuss fertility options and potential underlying causes for delayed conception.

But I've got a slight sinus infection right now and I'm worried that a cold shower might make it worse. Do you think this is something I should avoid, or is it still okay to go ahead with?

Taking daily cold showers with a slight sinus infection may exacerbate your condition, as cold water can cause nasal passages to constrict, increase mucus production, and potentially worsen sinus congestion; however, some people find that cold showers help reduce inflammation and improve circulation, which may alleviate sinus symptoms.

After taking a 10-day course of hetrazan, my weakness has gotten a bit better, but now I'm dealing with some diarrhea symptoms and still feel a bit weak. The eosinophil levels did drop to 5 in the last three days. Do you think I'll start feeling more refreshed after finishing the hetrazan treatment, and does this mean I'm recovering from a possible parasite infection since the eosinophil count has gone down?

With a significant reduction in eosinophils from 21% to 5% after the Hetrazan course, it's likely that the treatment was effective in addressing the underlying parasitic infection; as your body recovers, you may start feeling fresher and more energetic, but it's essential to monitor your symptoms, including diarrhea, and follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure complete recovery and to rule out any other underlying conditions

A fluctuating body temperature between 98F and 98.4F throughout the day is generally considered normal, as the body's temperature naturally varies due to factors like circadian rhythms, physical activity, and environmental conditions, but if you're concerned or experience other symptoms like fever, chills, or fatigue, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health issues.

After recovering from dengue, it's essential to gradually resume physical activities, so you can start with low-intensity exercises like skipping and light cardio, but wait for at least 2-3 weeks before resuming full-fledged exercise routine, and ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients, iron, and folic acid to replenish lost platelets and support overall recovery, under the guidance of your doctor.

After a C-section, it's generally recommended to wait for at least 6-8 weeks before wearing a post-delivery belt, and even then, it's best to consult your doctor, but if you must wear one while sleeping, ensure it's not too tight, as this can put pressure on your abdomen and potentially disrupt the healing process.

I'm a bit worried about a cat bite I got recently. Can you tell me how long the anti-rabies vaccination stays effective? And is it necessary to get a tetanus shot after a cat bite too? I've had some vaccinations before, but I'm not sure if I'm still covered. Would love your thoughts on this.

A full course of Rabies vaccination may provide protection for upto 5 years. Estimation of anti-rabies antibody level in the blood may help in this regard. A single booster dose of rabies vaccine once a year for those at high risk is harmless and may provide adequate protection. Tetanus vaccine is needed when there is open wound. But a single booster dose can be protective for upto 5 years.

I'm really concerned about some of my blood test results that came back high. The RDW-SD is 51.1 fL and the RDW-CV is 14.7. Also, the PDW is 20.16 fL, which is way above the reference range. Even the MPV is quite high at 14.4 fL. I know my platelet count is 152 and the total RBC is 4.8, both of which are normal. But I'm really worried because I've heard high counts can sometimes indicate something serious, like cancer. Can you please help explain what all this might mean?

The elevated RDW-SD, RDW-CV, PDW, and MPV values may indicate variations in red blood cell and platelet size, which can be seen in various conditions, including nutritional deficiencies, anemia, or chronic diseases, but are not typically specific indicators of cancer, so it's essential to consult with your doctor to discuss these results in the context of your overall health and determine if further testing or evaluation is necessary.

I've been having this weird burning feeling in my stomach a couple of hours after eating, right around where it would be digesting, and there's also this mild pain just above my belly button. I'm starting to worry a bit, could it be something like an ulcer?

The stomach burning and mild pain near the belly button area, occurring 2-3 hours after eating, could be indicative of various conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or duodenal ulcers, but it's also possible that it's related to digestion issues, food intolerance, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), so it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan.

I'm a bit puzzled and worried here. My latest reports show that everything's normal, but my SGPT is at 79 and SGOT is 42. The ultrasound mentions a grade 1 fatty liver, which is confusing because all my friends with fatty liver haven't had any risen liver enzymes like I do. Why is this happening to me?

I'm a 27-year-old girl, and my height is around 5 inches. I'm really wondering if it's possible to increase my height at this point. Could you let me know if there are any options or methods available for someone my age to grow taller?

once you're done growing, that's pretty much it. Men grow height-wise until 21 years old, although depending on the person they may experience slight changes until 25. For someone in their later twenties, you're already not producing the regul ar pulsatile bursts of growth hormone needed to stimulate longitudinal growth, but even if an exogenous source was provided, the growth region of the bone known as the epiphyseal plate has already shut down, so you'd only grow laterally.....

I'm really worried about my blood pressure which is at 13095I've already seen my physician and done a ton of tests like LFT, KFT, and a whole body USG with a renal artery Doppler. Everything came back normal, but they mentioned it's rising for unexplained reasons. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening?

Given that all tests are normal, your physician may consider your high blood pressure (13095) as "essential hypertension" or "idiopathic hypertension," meaning it has no identifiable cause, and recommend lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep, along with possible medication to manage and control your blood pressure

To combat evening sleepiness, try limiting afternoon naps to 20-30 minutes, establishing a consistent sleep schedule, staying hydrated, getting fresh air, and engaging in relaxing activities, while avoiding screens before bedtime, and consider a 10-15 minute walk or some light stretching to boost energy levels.

I'm trying to understand the difference between TSH and TSH ultrasensitive tests. How do they differ, and is one considered better than the other? It's a bit confusing to me.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and TSH Ultra-Sensitive are both blood tests that measure thyroid function, but the key difference lies in their sensitivity: TSH measures TSH levels above 0.5-1.0 mUL, while TSH Ultra-Sensitive measures levels as low as 0.01-0.05 mUL, making it more sensitive in detecting subtle thyroid function abnormalities, especially in cases of hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis, so the Ultra-Sensitive test is generally considered better for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid conditions.

Many a times , due to dehydration, platelets count comes low. So nothing to worry. I suggest - First increase your oral intake of liquids and water Repeat Blood Test After 15 days Then Only we can conclude anything for the same. Next Steps Take Plenty of Liquids Orally. Repeat CBC test after 15 Days and Check your platelets counts.

Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Ideally tatanus toxoid is to be taken within 6 hours of exposure. And once taken, it need not be taken against for 5 years. Since yours is just 4 months, you need not repeat the shot. Just take proper care of the wound.

I'm having some issues with my stomach, especially in the morning. There's this pain that comes along with motions, and it kinda feels like it's burning in my stomach and heart. Not too long ago, my doctor said it was food poisoning or an infection and gave me some meds for three days, which helped at first. But now the pain and motions are back just like before. What could be going on?

The recurring stomach pain, motion, and heartburn despite completing the prescribed medication for food poisoninginfection suggest a possible underlying condition such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); consider consulting your doctor again for further evaluation, potential endoscopy or imaging tests, and adjusted treatment, as well as making lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and managing stress.

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?

With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.

I'm a bit confused about some medical stuff. So, in the context of a COVID test, what exactly does the target gene CT value mean? Like, if someone has a CT value of 17.5, is that considered low or high? Also, if a person has thyroid issues, do the medicines change if they get COVID?

The target gene CT value in a COVID-19 test represents the number of cycles needed to detect the virus's genetic material, with lower values (e.g., 17.5) indicating a higher viral load, while higher values suggest a lower viral load or potential false positive; regarding thyroid conditions, COVID-19 treatment does not typically involve thyroid medications, but underlying thyroid conditions may require adjustments to existing medications or additional supportive care.

I've been having this weird leg pain, mostly in my right leg, and it happens right before I need to pee. The pain goes away once I've urinated. What might be causing this?

The leg pain before urinating, especially in the right leg, could be related to various factors, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones or nerve compression; however, a possible cause is also obturator nerve compression or irritation, which can radiate pain to the leg, especially before urinating, and relief after passing urine.

I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid right now, and I've noticed that I have to pee all the time. Is that normal? I had some really high fevers with shivering and chills, but they're a bit better now. It's weird because when I go to the bathroom, it doesn't hurt at all. Could this mean I might have a urinary tract infection, or is there a chance I could be pregnant?

Frequent urination in your case is more likely due to the infections (dengue and typhoid) causing inflammation and irritation in the urinary tract, rather than a UTI or pregnancy; however, to rule out other conditions, consult your healthcare provider, who may recommend a urine test to check for any underlying infections or abnormalities.

I'm curious if Buscopan can help with reducing body temperature. Would love to know more about this.

Buscogast, primarily containing Hyoscine Butylbromide, is designed to relieve muscle spasms and cramps in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, but it doesn't directly affect body temperature. Its mechanism of action focuses on relaxing smooth muscles and suppressing secretions, which doesn't inherently influence body temperature regulation.

I'm a little worried because I have two cans of Volini spray that expired in May 2020, but I've never even opened them. Do you think it might still be safe to use them, or is that not a good idea? I spent a pretty penny on these, so I'm hesitant to just throw them away. Can you offer any advice or is there any leeway with using products past their expiration like this?

Using expired Volini spray (May 2020) is not recommended, as its potency, safety, and efficacy may be compromised, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or adverse reactions; it's best to err on the side of caution and discard the expired product, even if unopened.

I had unprotected sex last night and now I'm noticing slight blood clots in my urine and mucus. My vagina didnt naturally lubricate, and that's never been an issue before. I haven't found any friction marks. I also took the morning-after pill and have been having this brownish discharge today. My period's supposed to start next week, but I know the emergency pill can mess with that. What's going on with the bleeding?

The slight blood clots in your urine and mucus, along with brownish discharge, could be due to several factors, including urinary tract irritation, vaginal dryness, or a possible urinary tract infection (UTI); however, given your recent unprotected sex and morning-after pill intake, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist to rule out any sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other complications, and to receive guidance on managing your symptoms and adjusting to any changes in your menstrual cycle.

Also, my body is aching and my pulse rate is between 90 to 110. Should I be concerned about any of these symptoms?

After taking the COVID vaccine, you can take your prescribed medications, including Telmikind 40, as directed by your doctor; Dolo 650 (Paracetamol) and Telmikind 40 (Telmisartan) can be taken together, but ensure a 2-3 hour gap to minimize potential interactions; monitor your blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature, and consult your doctor if you experience any concerns, such as a pulse rate exceeding 110 or severe body aches.

I've been experiencing some sharp pain that starts at my belly button and shoots down towards my legs, especially after I clean or put pressure on my belly button. It's so severe that I often need to take the day off to rest. The pain seems to stretch from my navel down to my inner legs and even to my feet. Any idea what might be causing this? It's really starting to worry me.

The sharp pain from your belly button radiating to both legs, triggered by cleaning, pressing, or applying pressure, may indicate an umbilical hernia, umbilical cord granuloma, or omphalitis (navel infection); however, another possible cause is an ilioinguinal nerve entrapment or irritation, which can cause pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and inner thighs; consult a general surgeon or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Your CBC report shows a slightly elevated RDW-CV (15.2%) indicating a moderate variation in red blood cell size, which can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency, or chronic inflammation; meanwhile, your MPV (11.3) is within the normal range; given your fever for the past three days, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out underlying infections or conditions, such as a viral or bacterial infection, that may be causing your symptoms.

Consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist or an allergist to rule out underlying conditions such as allergies, sinusitis, or nasal polyps; in addition to Cetrizine and Cetgel, you may want to try other treatments like nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, or immunotherapy; also, ask your doctor about alternative medications like Montelukast, Azelastine, or Fluticasone nasal spray, which may provide relief from your symptoms.

Ivermectin is typically used to treat parasitic infections, and its safety and efficacy for regular, monthly use without COVID-19 or parasitic infections are unclear; potential risks and side effects include gastrointestinal issues, allergic reactions, and interactions with other medications; consult a specialist or pharmacist to discuss the potential benefits and risks and determine if alternative treatments are available for your specific condition.

We're just a bit worried since your clinic isn't open on Sundays, and wanted to ask if she should keep taking these meds or not.

Karthiyayani should continue the prescribed medicines: Medicines to Continue 1. Palmigas 2. Duvanta (as directed) 3. Gpital (as directed) Next Steps 1. Monitor stomach pain and report any worsening. 2. Follow dosage instructions. 3. Schedule a follow-up appointment for Monday or earliest available time. Please confirm her condition improves or worsens. If concerns arise, contact the clinic or on-call doctor.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.

I'm a 17-year-old girl, and I've been struggling with being very thin and weak. I've tried so many ways to gain weight and even make sure to have my meals on time. But nothing seems to change; my weight is always the same. I really want to put on a little weight and become a bit healthier. Can you give me some trusted advice on how I can gain weight easily and quickly?

To gain weight healthily, focus on consuming more calories than you burn; try: eating smaller, frequent meals, incorporating calorie-dense foods like nuts, dried fruits, avocados, and full-fat dairy products, adding healthy fats and oils to your meals, strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and consider consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist for personalized guidance.

I've been having this weird head spinning feeling, like there's pressure in my head, and I've been feeling super weak. It's been hard to get a good night's sleep too. Honestly, I think stress and overthinking might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. What do you think I should do?

Given your symptoms of occasional head spinning, pressure in the head, weakness, stress, and overthinking, consider consulting a primary care physician or a neurologist to rule out underlying medical conditions, such as anxiety disorders, migraines, or inner ear issues, and discuss stress management techniques, like meditation, deep breathing, or cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I'm having this annoying throat pain, and my doctor prescribed Augmentin 625. Do you think it'll help with the pain I feel when swallowing?

Augmentin 625, a combination antibiotic of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, can help cure throat pain caused by bacterial infections such as strep throat, but if your throat pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor to rule out other causes, such as viral infections or other conditions.

I'm really concerned about my husband's health. He recently got his blood test results and his B12 level is really low at 119. The doctor recommended he take a Hosit tablet every day and mix Convales powder in water. He's been following this regimen for the past 10 days, but he hasn't noticed any improvement. We're wondering if this is the right treatment plan or if he should have had an injection to quickly get his B12 levels up to around 300. What do you think?

The prescribed medications, Hosit (cyanocobalamin) tablets and Convales powder, are oral supplements aimed at increasing vitamin B12 levels; however, given your husband's severe deficiency (119), an injection course might be more effective in rapidly raising levels to the desired range (200-300); consult his doctor to discuss the possibility of switching to injectable B12 or adding it to his current oral regimen.

Is there any chance I need to get another antirabies shot if a street dog just brushed against me? I'm a bit worried because I had the injection about 2 years ago. How long do these shots last anyway?

If you've already received a rabies injection 2 years ago, you typically only need 2 doses of the vaccine after a new exposure. This is because the immunity from the previous vaccination usually lasts for a long time, often 2-5 years or more, depending on the individual and the type of vaccine used

I'm a 32-year-old woman and I've been getting this burning feeling when I pee, just like the last time I had a UTI. Is there an antibiotic you could recommend for now while I'm waiting to get my urine culture results?

Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics treat the infection. Follow these tips: Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria. Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder.Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate. Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.

Rosuvastatin (Rosubest 10mg) can potentially affect liver function, especially with a pre-existing grade 2 fatty liver and elevated LFTs; however, your doctor may have considered this risk and prescribed it under careful monitoring; ensure regular liver function tests (every 6-12 weeks) and report any symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain to your doctor, who may adjust the dosage or consider alternative treatments.

What could this be?

Your symptoms, including a sinking feeling in your chest, dizziness, confusion, and chest and back pain, despite normal echo, MRI, and blood work results, may be related to anxiety, panic disorder, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy; consider consulting a psychiatrist to explore these possibilities and discuss potential treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, or medication to manage anxiety and alleviate symptom

It's generally recommended to avoid intimate contact, including sex, until your husband has completed the full scabies treatment course, usually 2-3 applications of permethrin cream, 7-10 days apart, and has been symptom-free for at least 24-48 hours, to minimize the risk of transmission, as scabies mites can survive off the human host for up to 72 hours.

I'm really confused and worried about what's happening with me. Not too long ago, I had typhoid and after the 10-day treatment, the tests said I'm clear.

Now, even though the typhoid seems to be gone, I'm experiencing this overwhelming weakness in my body and I can't seem to stand on my legs properly. What could be causing this?

The recurring coldness in hands and feet, along with weakness and inability to stand, could be due to post-typhoid complications, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or neurological issues, so consult your doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and physical examination, to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit concerned about my temperature readings. They're usually between 98.6 and 99.2, but most often fall between 98.5 and 98.8. I'm not feeling feverish or anything, but should I be worried? Is this considered a fever?

A normal oral body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F, so your temperature readings (98.5-99.2F) are within the normal range, and it's unlikely to be a fever, especially if you're not experiencing any feverish symptoms

I'm a bit concerned about my grandma's recent urine report. It says there are 15-20 pus cells per high power field. She doesnt really have any other issues, except she sometimes has incontinence. She's on some Ayurvedic treatment for that. What does it mean to have that number of pus cells? Should we be worried?

The normal range of pus cells in the urine is 0-5. Since the report suggests pus cells of 15-20 and bacteria is present, it is suggestive of urinary tract infection(UTI). Ideally you should send the urine for culture so that the most sensitive antibiotics can be used.

I'm trying to figure out whether I should stick with telmikind AMH or switch to triolmesar CH 40. My first doctor recommended telmikind AMH, but then a second doctor said I should try triolmesar CH 40 instead. My blood pressure is usually high, so I'm kind of worried if the medication change might make a difference. What would be the best approach here?

Both **Telmikind AMH** and **Triolmesar CH 40** are effective medications for managing high blood pressure. Telmikind AMH contains telmisartan and amlodipine, which help relax blood vessels and reduce pressure. Triolmesar CH 40 combines telmisartan with hydrochlorothiazide, which also works to reduce blood pressure by removing excess fluid. If your blood pressure remains elevated, its important to follow up with your doctor to determine which combination works best for you based on your overall health and response to treatment.

Calpol 650, which contains paracetamol (acetaminophen), is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever.

I'm really worried because I got these reports saying my gallbladder is distended and something about wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid. What does that mean? And I'm having back pain, but I'm not sure if it's related to that. I've got two kidney stones and I'm already on meds for those, but I don't think this pain is due to them. Can you explain why I'm feeling this pain and suggest what I should do or take for it?

The report suggests that your gallbladder is slightly enlarged, but there is no evidence of significant inflammation or fluid collection around it. The pain in your back may be related to your gallbladder, as it can cause discomfort that radiates to the back, though its important to rule out other causes. Since you also have kidney stones, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to clarify whether the pain is from the gallbladder or another issue, and they can guide you on appropriate pain management.

A platelet count of 4.94 lakhscumm is within the normal range, as typical platelet counts are between 1.5 to 4.5 lakhscumm. However, your symptoms of fever, runny nose, throat ache, body ache, and headache suggest a viral infection, which could be the cause of your discomfort. It is important to rest, hydrate, and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and management.

I'm a bit stressed because it's been over two weeks and I'm still experiencing this low-grade fever that spikes over 99.8 in the afternoons and normalizes by midnight. The fever tends to increase with even a little activity and comes with a mild headache. Plus, I'm dealing with a lot of gas. Initially, I had body aches and a headache on one side. When I took a blood test after a week, my widal test was positive with s typhi O 1160 and s typhi h 180, but s paratyphi ah was nil. The thing is, the typhidot test came back negative for salmonella typhi igg and igm. I'm really puzzledis this really typhoid or could it be something else? I've been on cefixine 200, dolo650, and nexpro rd40 for 89 days now. If it is typhoid, how long should I expect this low-grade fever to stick around? I'm quite worried about all of this.

It seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection, possibly typhoid, given the positive Widal test results. However, the negative Typhidot test suggests it might not be a classic case of typhoid. The fever could also be related to other causes like a viral infection or gastrointestinal issues, especially with the presence of gas. Continue with your prescribed treatment, and if symptoms persist or worsen, it's essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more tests.

The dosage varies based on the severity of the deficiency, but typically ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to nerve compression or poor circulation, such as in conditions like peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome.

Your pulse rate is slightly elevated (95-110 bpm), and your blood pressure is on the lower side (10555). Combined with your abdominal pain and nausea, this could indicate dehydration, stress, or an underlying medical condition like gastritis or an infection. I recommend seeing a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation and necessary tests.

Yesterday, I took the test after having my morning dose, and the level was 2.6. Do you think I should consider reducing my dosage?

Based on the lab results, it appears that your thyroid levels have improved after taking your morning dose. The lower value (2.6) suggests that the current dosage may be appropriate. However, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary, as they can assess your overall health and treatment response more accurately.

It's important to follow your doctor's advice when taking the rabies vaccine after a potential exposure. Generally, antibiotics are not required unless there's a sign of infection at the wound site.

But when I clean it again the next day, it's kind of tricky. The wound is still wet, and there's some fluid coming out. Would using soframycin be a better option in this case?

It sounds like you're dealing with a wound that's still in the healing process and is somewhat moist, which is quite common in the initial stages of healing.Both can be effective, but Soframycin is usually recommended for burns, surgical wounds, or where moisture needs to be controlled, as it helps with tissue regeneration without drying the wound too much.

I've been dealing with some really annoying symptoms lately. Just a day ago, I had this crazy high fever of 103.6 and it came with loose motions. The fever went down after a day of rest and taking just 2 crocins. But now, a day later, something odd is happeningI can't seem to remember names or strings of characters that I used to know. I initially shrugged it off, thinking I was overthinking it, but it's been a constant thing throughout the day. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on here?

In most cases, memory issues after a high fever and loose motions are temporary and are often related to post-viral fatigue, dehydration, or the body recovering from the stress of illness. However, if the symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by other concerning signs, its important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying causes. In the meantime, staying hydrated, getting proper rest, and maintaining a balanced diet will help support your recovery.

They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?

visit a qualified healthcare provider, undergo the required tests, and ensure that the medical certificate reflects that you do not have any communicable diseases in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005).

I'm really worried about how long HIV can live outside the body. Like, if someone with HIV accidentally gets a drop of blood on a chair or table, is it still dangerous if I touch that same spot after 30 minutes? Can the virus still be active?

HIV survives outside the body for a short period: 15-30 minutes on a dry surface, up to 72 hours in a moist environment, but risk of transmission through casual contact is extremely low, and standard household cleaning and disinfection kill HIV.

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure. It's usually around 13584 or sometimes 14084, but it never goes beyond 140. My doctor prescribed me torsemide for a short periodonly 20 tabletsand said it's mainly because of anxiety. Is this normal? Should I be worried about taking the torsemide, or is it safe to just stop after finishing the tablets like my doctor suggested?

A blood pressure reading of 13584 or 14084 is slightly elevated but not alarming. Your doctor prescribed torsemide for a short period to manage fluid retention, likely linked to anxiety. It's normal in such cases, but it's important to follow up if you continue to feel concerned.

I'm really worried because I had a small amount of precum on my hand, and I wiped it off. But then, after a few minutes, I used that finger to touch my girlfriend's vagina. We're both virgins, and I'm not sure if this can make her pregnant. Could she be at risk?

The chance of pregnancy in this situation is extremely low, especially if there was minimal precum and no ejaculation. However, if you both are still concerned or if her period is delayed, you can take a home pregnancy test after about 2 weeks. For future peace of mind, consider using contraception during any sexual activity to reduce the risk of pregnancy and STIs.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. I just got a USG report saying I have an enlarged liver, measuring 142mm, and the impression notes mild hepatomegaly. Everything else seems normal, but I've been struggling with slow digestion too. I'm currently avoiding alcoholic drinks and fast food, but I'm in a remote area where I can't find a specialist. Could taking LIV 52 tablets help with this, or is there anything else youd recommend?

Mild hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) can be due to various causes, including metabolic factors, infections, or liver conditions. While LIV 52 is commonly used for liver health, it's important to address the root cause of the enlargement, which might require further investigation or lifestyle changes like improving hydration, avoiding fatty foods, and managing stress. Given your remote location, its best to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible, even through telemedicine, to ensure the proper course of treatment.

I'm kind of freaking out because I've been getting these petechiae spots on my thighs for a couple of months now. I've been looking it up and it keeps linking back to leukemia, which is super scary. Plus, my gums have been bleeding whenever I brush my teeth for a few months too. I did some blood work between noticing the gum bleeding and the petechiae and it came back normal. Could this still be leukemia even if the blood work was okay?

It's understandable to be concerned, but if your blood work was normal, it's less likely to be leukemia. Petechiae and bleeding gums can be caused by several factors, including vitamin deficiencies or gum issues. If the symptoms persist or worsen, its a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I've noticed that every time I get a fever, malaria P. vivax seems to be the diagnosis, and I'm usually treated with Resochin 250mg and Basokuine.

Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to ensure there is no relapse.

This is surprising since I've lost 7 kgs through exercise and dieting. How could my triglycerides have increased despite the weight loss?

urea is normal To manage triglycerides: 1. Dietary changes: - Reduce carbohydrate intake. - Increase fiber consumption. - Choose healthy fats (avocado, nuts). - Limit sugary drinks and foods. 1. Exercise: - Continue regular physical activity (150 minutesweek). - Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

Can I give my 4-year-old son 5ml of Solvin Cold AF for his cold symptoms? He weighs about 11-12 kg, just want to make sure it's safe for him.

It's best to avoid giving Solvin Cold AF to your 4-year-old without consulting a pediatrician, as it contains multiple ingredients that may not be suitable for children. I recommend speaking with your child's doctor to get a safe and appropriate treatment plan for his cold symptoms.

I've been having a cold and cough along with a mild fever in the evenings for a few days now. But whats really worrying me is this weakness in my legs and hands. There's no pain, just this weird weakness. It's making it hard for me to walk these past couple of days, and my hands are feeling kind of stiff. Plus, there's this tingling sensation in my hands and legs. Im not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure this out?

I'm feeling really uncomfortable because I gargled too much with salt water about a week ago, and now my throat is all scratchy and looks white inside. I've taken some meds, but they havent helped at all. My lips are super dry, and I've even lost my sense of taste. I dont have any cough, cold, or fever, but this throat issue is making me feel really uneasy. When I look in the mirror, my throat looks all patchy and it even burns inside. I'm really concerned about this because I've never felt anything like it before. Any idea whats going on or what I should do?

It sounds like the excessive saltwater gargling might have irritated your throat, leading to dryness and discomfort. To help, try drinking plenty of water, avoid further saltwater gargles, and use a humidifier to keep the air moist. If the burning sensation and dryness persist, a throat soothing lozenge or mild throat spray may help. If symptoms continue, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with this recurring infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, and it keeps showing up every couple of months since it first appeared in January 2019. I've had it in various placeslike my knee, finger, chin, nose, and scrotum. Even after seeing multiple doctors and taking antibiotics like Linezolid and Clarithromycin, the infection just popped up again on my right scrotum, and every time it brings on a fever. I've even had surgery for a carbuncle on my knee under anesthesia. The pus and blood cultures both came back positive for Staph A, but my nasal swab results were negative both times, and blood cultures were too. I'm really struggling to figure out why this keeps happening and would appreciate any guidance on how to stop these infections from coming back. What could be causing this, and is there anything specific I should be doing to prevent it?

Recurring Staphylococcus aureus infections indicate a persistent underlying issue. To address this, consider: Medical Evaluation 1. Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) to rule out diabetes, kidney issues, or electrolyte imbalances. 2. Complete blood count (CBC) to assess immune function. 3. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to monitor inflammation. 4. Staphylococcus aureus susceptibility testing to determine antibiotic resistance patterns. 5. Nasal swab and skin cultures to identify potential carriers. Infection Prevention Strategies 1. Personal Hygiene: Frequent handwashing, showering, and cleaning. 2. Skin Care: Moisturize, avoid irritants, and use antibacterial soap. 3. Antibiotic Stewardship: Avoid unnecessary antibiotic use. 4. Immunizations: Ensure up-to-date on influenza, pneumococcal, and tetanus vaccines. 5. Stress Management: Yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. Root Cause Investigation 1. Carrier State: Nasal or skin colonization. 2. Underlying Conditions: Diabetes, eczema, or other skin conditions. 3. Environmental Factors: Contaminated surfaces or water. 4. Genetic Predisposition: Family history of Staph infections. Treatment Considerations 1. Long-term Antibiotics: Consider oral antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline or minocycline) for 6-12 months. 2. Topical Treatments: Antibiotic ointments or creams. 3. Surgical Intervention: Drainage or debridement for severe infections. Recommended Specialists 1. Infectious Disease Specialist 2. Dermatologist 3. Orthopedic Surgeon (for skin and soft tissue infections)

Even if ejaculation didn't occur, there's still a risk of pregnancy due to pre-ejaculatory fluids. If your partner has missed her period, take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or consult a healthcare provider for a blood test. If the test is positive, consult a healthcare provider or a family planning clinic to discuss options, including medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or prenatal care. Time is of the essence, as MTP options may be limited after a certain gestational age.

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain or possibly an issue with the organs in that area, such as the spleen or stomach. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. Rest, gentle stretching, and avoiding heavy lifting might help in the meantime.

Morning fevers can be caused by various factors, including infections, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances.

I'm really worried because after recovering from COVID in May, I've been having chest pain that comes and goes. At first, it eased up but then returned. I had a couple of ECGs; one was normal, but three months later, it showed an irregular heartbeat, although all other tests came back normal. My doctor thinks it might be costochondritis since the pain is really sharp and in the upper rib area. Last night things got intenseI woke up suddenly with really strong palpitations. A doctor I know recommended some medications including Thiospas 4 mg, Tramadol, and Dexa 4 mg for 3 days, to be tapered slowly. I've already taken steroids during my COVID treatment for about 9 days, and I'm really anxious about taking them again. Should I go ahead with this treatment? I need advice quickly.

Its understandable to be cautious after taking steroids during COVID. Given that your chest pain and irregular heartbeat are likely due to costochondritis, the suggested medications may help, but steroids like Dexa should only be taken under close medical supervision. It's important to discuss your concerns with your doctor, especially about tapering off steroids safely.

I'm really worried because I've been having this fever that just won't go away. I had it originally on February 10th, took some medicine, and felt okay, but then it came back on the 19th, and even after seeing a doctor and taking the prescribed meds, the fever's still hovering around 100F or 101F. I even had some tests done like the Typhidot Igm and blood cultures which came back negative, and my CBC was normal, but the fever didn't stop. I was put on TaximO and Calpol 500, which seemed to help for a bit, but after three days, the fever returned. Now, with my regular doctor unavailable, I switched to another one who ran more tests like the thyroid panel and CRP, and turned out the CRP is positive. They also found my bilirubin to be a bit high and ALT levels at 79. The new doctor's prescribed Dolo 650 and Pantocid, and I'm noticing that the fever goes down after taking paracetamol, but it just comes back after a few hours. What's going on with me? Is there something serious causing the fever to keep coming back?

*Hormonal Influence* 1. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels during the menstrual cycle can exacerbate acidity. 2. _Prostaglandins_: Increased prostaglandin levels during menstruation can cause stomach contractions, leading to acidity. *Dietary Modifications* 1. _Avoid trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that trigger acidity, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and spicy or fatty foods. 2. _Ginger and aloe vera_: Consume ginger tea, ginger ale, or aloe vera juice to help alleviate acidity. 3. _Small, frequent meals_: Eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce symptoms. *Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications* 1. _Antacids_: Take antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta to neutralize stomach acid. 2. _Acid reducers_: Use medications like ranitidine (Zantac) or famotidine (Pepcid) to reduce acid production. 3. _Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)_: Consider taking PPIs like omeprazole (Prilosec) or lansoprazole (Prevacid) to reduce acid production. *Natural Remedies* 1. _Yoga and relaxation techniques_: Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing to help manage symptoms. 2. _Heat or cold therapy_: Apply heat or cold packs to the abdomen to help alleviate discomfort. *Menstrual-Specific Relief* 1. _Over-the-counter pain relievers_: Take OTC pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) to help manage menstrual cramps and acidity. 2. _Hormonal treatments_: Consult your healthcare provider about hormonal treatments like birth control pills to help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms.

I got a TT vaccine around 4 months ago, but the nurse gave it on my buttocks. Today, I got a small scratch from an iron wire while playing cricket. I'm worried if the vaccine still provides immunity since it was administered on the buttocks. Should I get another TT shot for this incident? Would love a detailed explanation.

Since you received the TT vaccine four months ago, it should provide immunity against tetanus for at least 3-5 years, even if it was given in the buttocks. A small scratch from an iron wire doesn't typically require a booster, but if you notice any signs of infection or develop symptoms like muscle stiffness or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention immediately.

These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain.

A faint line alongside a dark line on a UPT usually indicates a positive result, meaning you may be pregnant. I understand this might be overwhelming.

For road fall wounds on the knees and elbows, both Neosporin and Betadine can be effective, but Neosporin powder may be more suitable for open wounds as it helps prevent infection without sticking. Betadine can be used for cleaning, but it might be painful to remove due to its adhesive nature. It's important to apply a clean dressing to reduce pain during redressing.

I'm feeling really confused about my COVID medication schedule. I've been prescribed Ivermectin 12 mg for five nights, Azithromycin 500 for five afternoons, and a few other supplements like Limcee, zinc acetate, calcium with vitamin D3, and a vitamin B complex. My question is about Ivermectin should I take it before or after food? Also, after taking Azithromycin, I experience some discomfort in my stomach. Would it be okay to take Rantac in the morning before food to help with that?

Hello, Ivermectin can be taken after food to reduce any stomach irritation. As for Azithromycin, it can cause stomach discomfort, so taking Rantac before breakfast may help alleviate this. However, its always best to check with your doctor for personalized advice. Take care!

What does it mean if my liver size is normal but there's a mildly increased parenchymal echotexture? Should I be worried, and are there any steps I should take or treatments I should consider?

It's essential to address the underlying cause of your stomach bloating and backache. Consider the following steps: Consult a gastroenterologist to rule out conditions like IBS, SIBO, or gastroparesis. Undergo tests like endoscopy, colonoscopy, or breath tests to identify the underlying cause. Avoid trigger foods, follow a low-FODMAP diet, and consider probiotics to alleviate symptoms. Maintain good posture, exercise regularly, and consider physical therapy to address backache.

I've been dealing with nausea, stomach pressure, acidity, and weight loss even though I've been eating normally. Recently, after getting an upper endoscopy, they found I have antral gastritis and tested positive for H. pylori. So, I'm on Nexpro L, Gaviscon syrup, an H. pylori treatment kit, and a probiotic. It's been 8 days on these meds, with another week to go. While my symptoms have improved and I'm feeling better, I'm still dropping weight. I'm really confused and a bit worried why this is happening. Could it be because of the H. pylori infection? Once the treatment's over, will I be able to gain weight back? I used to weigh around 71 kg last year; now I'm down to 65.5 kg. I also have piles, and it's kind of freaking me out. How should I approach gaining weight again?

Kindly discuss for your concern.

Mildly increased parenchymal echotexture in the liver indicates a subtle abnormality in the liver's texture, which may be due to: Fatty liver disease, hepatitis, or other inflammatory conditions. Further evaluation with liver function tests (LFTs) and possibly a liver biopsy may be necessary. Lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, can help manage the condition. Consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and treatment.

Lately, I've been noticing a pin-pricking sensation on the upper part of my right-hand ring finger, and it tends to happen more frequently in the evenings. It's getting a bit concerning, and I'm wondering what might be causing it. Should I be worried or is there something I should be doing to alleviate it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of tingling or pins and needles in your ring finger. This can be caused by pressure on nerves, poor circulation, or even repetitive use of the hand. If the sensation persists or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider to rule out conditions like nerve compression or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Don't worry, it's normal to experience on-and-off morning sickness symptoms during early pregnancy. Hormonal fluctuations can cause varying levels of nausea and vomiting. Since you had a recent ultrasound confirming a healthy fetal heartbeat, it's likely that your symptoms are just subsiding temporarily. However, to alleviate your concerns, consider scheduling a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the pregnancy.

The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

I'm a bit concerned about something that happened yesterday. I had a cold and decided to put some tiger balm on my nose to help with congestion because I've heard it's pretty strong. But later, I noticed a tiny bit might have gotten on my lips when I was drinking coffee. Since then, my throat's been kind of burning, and whenever I burp, that burning sensation is there too. Is this something I should be worried about? What would be the best way to treat it?

It sounds like the Tiger Balm might have irritated your throat or caused mild acid reflux. It's not usually dangerous, but to ease the discomfort, you can try drinking warm water or herbal tea, avoid spicy foods, and take an antacid if needed. If the burning persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

Unwanted erections during meals can be embarrassing and puzzling. Here are some possible explanations: _Possible Causes_ 1. _Nerve stimulation_: Pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area or spine can cause involuntary erections. 2. _Hormonal fluctuations_: Changes in hormone levels, particularly testosterone, can lead to increased arousal. 3. _Overactive bladder_: A sensitive bladder can cause the nerves to misfire, leading to erections. 4. _Anxiety or stress_: High levels of stress or anxiety can cause physical responses like erections. 5. _Certain medications_: Some medications, such as antidepressants or blood pressure medications, can cause increased arousal as a side effect. _What to Do_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with a primary care physician or a urologist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 2. _Keep a symptom journal_: Track when the erections occur, what you're eating, and any other factors that might be contributing. 3. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Stress-reducing activities like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga might help alleviate anxiety-related erections.

If your mother has been experiencing a migraine for over 8 hours and Fluner D hasn't helped, it's better to try a painkiller like Crocin 650, as it's typically effective for headaches. Disprin (aspirin) may also work, but it could irritate the stomach. If her symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

This has been happening on and off for a few months now, and I'm genuinely worried that this might mean my blood vessels could burst. I've also got some stress, wisdom teeth pain, and ear blockage on the same side. Everything seems to be happening on the right side of my head, and it's making me really anxious. Is this something serious that I should be worried about?

Hey, I just had a weird experience where a mouse bit my finger. There wasn't any visible cut or bleeding, but it felt like it pinched. There's a small bump now and I'm not sure if it's related to the bite. I washed it thoroughly with Lifebuoy soap for a couple of minutes, used Dettol, and even applied extra Dettol on the spot. I got an anti-tetanus shot last year and a rabies booster just a couple of months ago, so I'm curious if I'm still at risk for anything like Hantavirus since there wasn't a clear break in the skin. Just wondering if there's anything else I should do. What are your thoughts?

Since there was no visible break in the skin or bleeding, the risk of infection (including rabies and hantavirus) is significantly lower, You're well-protected with your recent anti-rabies and tetanus shots. No additional doses are necessary unless advised by a healthcare provider. if area becomes red or swollen or painfull then consult a doctor

Can you use a vacutainer needle without a safety lock on a different patient if its already been used on someone else? Also, is there a risk that the blood might clot in the needle, causing it not to work properly? What are the chances of someone getting HIV if blood is accidentally drawn with a needle that's already been used? Even if the blood is flowing out and not in, is there still a risk of HIV transmission?

So, I got scratched by a stray cat but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been vaccinated. I'm not really certain if it used its teeth on my skin or just scratched with its nails, or maybe both? But there's nothing to see reallyno marks, no wounds, no bleeding, and it doesn't hurt or burn at all. Do you think I should get a tetanus shot? Or is it okay to wait a month or two before doing that? Also, is an antirabies injection really necessary since there's no bleeding or visible wound?

A sudden increase in heart rate can be alarming. Given your hypothyroidism and thyronorm medication, consider the following possibilities: - Thyroid hormone levels might be fluctuating. - Anxiety or stress could be contributing to the increased heart rate. Monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly.

I've been using dolo 650 for my fever, but it doesn't seem to be working. Are there any other fever medicines you would suggest?

The 0.3ml anti-rabies booster dose provides immunity for at least 2-5 years, and possibly up to 10 years. Since you received the booster dose on January 9 and 12, you should still have adequate immunity. Given the cat bite on January 28, you are likely protected against rabies. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or a medical professional for guidance. They may recommend post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or monitoring, depending on the severity of the bite and other factors. Seek attention immediately to ensure your safety.

Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.

I'm worried about my uncle who's now 60. He tends to burp loudly and often complains about pain in his upper stomach. He keeps rubbing that area, and we're wondering if this could just be gas or if it might be something else we haven't considered. What should we be doing to help him out?

Yes, upper stomach pain can be caused by gas, especially if your uncle is experiencing loud burps. However, at the age of 60, other causes of stomach pain should also be considered, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, or even more serious conditions like gallstones or pancreatitis. To help relieve his symptoms, your uncle can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Maalox to help with gas and indigestion. He can also try Simethicone (Gas-X) to help break up gas bubbles in his stomach. It is important for him to avoid foods that can trigger gas, such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Additionally, eating smaller meals and avoiding lying down right after eating can also help reduce gas and stomach pain. If his symptoms persist or worsen, it is important for him to see a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

The side effects of an overdose of Crocin may include liver damage, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can lead to liver failure. It is important to seek medical help immediately if an overdose is suspected. The usual recommended dosage of Crocin is 1-2 tablets (500mg each) every 4-6 hours, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours for adults.

Taking Leon 500 (Levofloxacin) can potentially cause dizziness and vertigo as side effects. Teczine (Levocetirizine) is an antihistamine which may also cause dizziness in some individuals. The combination of these medications could worsen your vertigo symptoms. I recommend consulting your doctor to discuss alternative medications that may be more suitable for your vertigo condition.

Both Omnacortil 5 and Wysolone 5 contain the same active ingredient, which is Prednisolone. They are both corticosteroids used to treat various conditions such as inflammation, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, there should not be a significant difference between the two medications. You can go ahead and use Omnacortil 5 as a substitute for Wysolone 5 as per your doctor's prescription. Just make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.

I'm really worried because my CRP level is way higher than normal at 39.1. I've also been dealing with a high fever. What could be causing this and how should I go about treating it?

Common causes of elevated CRP levels include infections, inflammatory conditions, tissue injury, and chronic diseases. To treat this, you may need to address the underlying cause. If it is due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If it is due to inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxen may be recommended. In the case of chronic diseases, managing the underlying condition is important. For your high fever, you can take acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) to help reduce the fever and make sure to stay hydrated. Rest is also important to help your body fight off the infection or inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your specific condition.

For your vitamin D deficiency, I recommend taking a supplement such as "Drisdol" at a dosage of 1000-2000 IU per day. This will help increase your vitamin D levels and may alleviate your lower back pain. As for the high lymphocyte count, it is important to determine the underlying cause. I suggest further evaluation by a healthcare provider to investigate possible infections, autoimmune disorders, or other medical conditions that could be contributing to the elevated lymphocytes.

Is it safe to use Epsom salt for gargling? A lot of my friends keep saying it's helpful in different situations, but I'm worried if it might harm the body in some way. Are there any precautions I should take if I decide to use it?

Epsom salt, when dissolved in water, can be used as a gargle to help relieve sore throat and mouth sores. It is generally safe for gargling when used in appropriate concentrations. However, it is important to note that ingesting Epsom salt can lead to magnesium toxicity, so it should not be swallowed. To gargle with Epsom salt, mix about half a teaspoon of Epsom salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it for a few seconds before spitting it out. There is no need to cover up after gargling with Epsom salt.

Symptoms of an overdose may include chest pain, increased heart rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and weight loss. If someone has taken an overdose of Thyronorm, they should seek immediate medical attention. The treatment for an overdose may involve reducing the dose of Thyronorm or temporarily stopping the medication until symptoms improve.

I'm a bit worried about my C-reactive protein levels. I just got my results back, and it's showing 41 mgL. Can you tell me what this means for my health? And do you have any advice on how I could bring that number down?

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. A level of 41 mgL indicates moderate inflammation. To reduce it, you can consider taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and following an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats can help reduce inflammation. High levels of CRP are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. It is important to address the underlying cause of inflammation to prevent long-term health complications.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's running a fever, and her temperature is at 99.9. I wanted to check if it's okay to give her NICIP PLUS. What do you think?

NICIP PLUS is a combination medication containing Paracetamol, Nimesulide, and Serratiopeptidase. It is commonly used for fever and pain relief. However, it is important to note that Nimesulide is not recommended in many countries due to its potential side effects on the liver. For fever relief, you can consider giving her PARACETAMOL 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to keep her well-hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly. If the fever persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with multiple stones in my gallbladder, and the biggest one measures 10.6 mm with another at 7.5 mm, along with some smaller ones. I recently had quite a bit of pain and got an ultrasound done. I'm curious to know if there are treatment options available that don't involve gallbladder removal. Is it possible to remove or dissolve just the stones?

If you have multiple gall bladder stones and abdominal pain surgery is recommended for removal of gall bladder itself as there might be a high chance to develop stones again in the future. Medical therapy can not dissolve stones but can only manage symptoms like pain and vomiting.

Ivermectin is usually well-tolerated, but consuming alcohol while taking it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. It is generally recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on ivermectin treatment. If you do choose to drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation.

I've been dealing with some really bad-smelling burps since around 5 pm on 41317, and it's embarrassing how they clear the area. Plus, my mouth has this nasty taste. My stomach feels like it's full of gas even though I'm farting. What could be causing this, and how can I get some relief?

It sounds like you may be experiencing excessive gas and foul-smelling burps. This could be due to various reasons such as indigestion, gastritis, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (500mg) to help with the gas and indigestion. Additionally, you can try simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Instead, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and discomfort. Additionally, you can use calamine lotion or oatmeal baths to soothe the itching. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to help your body recover from Chicken pox.

I'm trying to apply for a swimming program, and I need a medical certificate from an MBBS doctor as proof of my physical fitness. Im in good shape and can swim, but they require this as part of the admission process. What's the best way to go about getting this certificate, and how much might it cost?

To obtain a medical certificate for swimming admission, you will need to visit a doctor, preferably an MBBS doctor, for a physical examination. During the examination, the doctor will assess your overall health and fitness level to ensure you are fit for swimming. The cost of the certification may vary depending on the healthcare provider and location. You can request the doctor to provide a physical fitness certificate specifically for swimming admission. The certificate should state that you are in good health and fit to participate in swimming activities. Make sure to bring any necessary identification and payment for the consultation. It is important to be honest during the examination and provide any relevant medical history to the doctor. Once the examination is complete and the doctor confirms your fitness for swimming, they will issue the medical certificate for your application. Remember to inquire about the specific requirements for the certificate from the institution where you are applying for swimming admission.

I'm really anxious right now because I accidentally came into contact with serum blood from someone who's HIV positive at the pathology laboratory where I work. I'm worried about the possibility of getting HIV from this. Can you help me understand the risks or what I should do next?

Accidental exposure to HIV-positive blood can be worrying. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, you should immediately wash the affected area with soap and water.

It is important to start PEP as soon as possible, ideally within hours of exposure, for it to be most effective.

I'm a bit worried about a scratch I got from a dog about two days ago. I couldn't get a rabies shot immediately, and I'm planning to get it soon, but it's been over 48 hours now. Will the vaccine still be effective if I get it within 72 hours, or is it too late to prevent rabies?

If you get the rabies shot after 48 hours but before 72 hours of a dog scratch, the vaccine can still be effective. It is ideal to get the rabies vaccine as soon as possible after a potential exposure. The standard regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis involves a series of rabies vaccines, such as Rabipur or Verorab, given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, a dose of rabies immunoglobulin may be administered on day 0 for those with high-risk exposures. It is important to follow the recommended schedule for the vaccine to ensure protection against rabies.

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again. Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?

1. _Over-supplementation_: Taking high doses of vitamin B12 supplements, like your 1500mcg methylcobalamin, can cause elevated levels. 2. _Kidney or liver issues_: Although your reports don't indicate any problems, kidney or liver dysfunction can affect vitamin B12 metabolism. 3. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or polycythemia vera, can cause elevated vitamin B12 levels. _Potential Risks of High Vitamin B12 Levels:_ 1. _Interference with diagnostic tests_: Elevated vitamin B12 levels can affect test results for other conditions. 2. _Increased risk of cancer_: Some studies suggest a potential link between high vitamin B12 levels and increased cancer risk. _Recommendations:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your test results and supplement regimen with your doctor. 2. _Re-evaluate your supplement dosage_: Consider reducing or adjusting your vitamin B12 supplement dosage. 3. _Monitor your vitamin B12 levels_: Regularly check your vitamin B12 levels to ensure they return to normal.

I'm really struggling with this whole breath situation that's been going on for about two years. It smells like feces and it just seems like it gets worse when I drink coffee, eat sweets, or even just bread. Lately, it doesnt matter what I eat, the smell's there.

Ive done a ton of research and tried brushing like five times a day, flossing, and even scraping my tongue, but nothing's working. This past week, it got even worse, and chewing gum just doesnt hide it anymore. I'm worried I might drive people away with my breath! Ive got this bad bitter taste in my mouth, and even drinking lots of water isnt helping. I know I have post-nasal drip, GERD, and an aching root canal molar that was redone but still hurts. Are any of these causing my breath issue? How can I fix this? It's really getting me down.

I'm really worried about my wife's fever. She initially had a fever, and the doctor suggested some tests. The report came back showing malaria and microfilaria were negative, but the typhoid rapid test was positive. The doctor gave her some medicine, and after 20 days, he prescribed Sepamax 500 Tablet, which she's been taking twice a day. But it's been two months now, and she's still dealing with a fever of around 100 degrees every day. We went back to the doctor and he ordered more tests which again showed negative for IgM and IgG antibodies, but the fever hasn't gone away. I'm really concerned about why the fever persists. Could there be something else going on, and are there any additional tests we should consider? What type of fever could this be?

I'm getting a bit worried because a couple of months back, a street dog tried to bite me but didn't really get a good grip. It left a small wound on my thigh just with one of its teeth, and I cleaned it up with Dettol right afterward. It's been over two months now, and its almost healed there's just a little dark spot left. Everything seemed fine, but now Im starting to get anxious about whether I could've picked up any infections or viruses from it. I see the same dog around regularly, so I can identify it if that helps. What should I do to check if Im all clear from any infections or viruses from the encounter?

I've been taking Evion for a liver infection, just like I did two years ago for about a month, and didn't have any issues back then. But this time, after starting Evion again, I've been getting headaches for a couple of days. Once I stopped, the headaches went away. Why would Evion cause headaches now when it didn't before?

I always thought stress could make us lose weight, but is it possible for stress or anything else to actually make us shorter?

Stress doesn't directly affect height reduction. However, chronic stress can impact growth and development, particularly during childhood and adolescence. Here's why: Why Stress Doesn't Directly Affect Height 1. Adult height is largely determined by genetics (80-90%). 2. Growth plates close naturally around age 18-25, marking the end of vertical growth. Indirect Effects of Stress on Height 1. Hormonal imbalance: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone regulation, potentially affecting growth hormones (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). 2. Malnutrition: Stress can lead to poor eating habits, nutrient deficiencies, and inadequate caloric intake, potentially impacting growth. 3. Sleep disturbances: Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, essential for growth hormone release and bone development.

I'm really concerned about my situation here. I was bitten by a street cat before and went through the full rabies vaccination series of 5 doses. Then, 6 months later, the same cat bit me again, and I got 3 more doses of the vaccine. Now, if this same cat bites me once more just 2 months after my last rabies shot, do I need to get vaccinated again? If so, how many doses would be necessary? Also, just to mention, the cat hasn't been vaccinated. What should I do?

After two previous bite incidents and vaccination series, if bitten again by the same unvaccinated cat, you'll likely need a booster dose. Here's a general guideline: Consult a Doctor Immediately 1. Report the incident and previous vaccination history. 2. Discuss the need for a booster dose. General Recommendations 1. If the previous vaccination series was completed (5 doses), a booster dose of 1-2 injections might be sufficient. 2. If the incident occurs within 2 months of the last vaccination dose, a booster dose might not be necessary.

I'm a bit confused because my doctor prescribed me Nurokind 1500 mg tablets, but the pharmacy gave me Nurokind OD tablets instead. Are these the same thing? And how exactly should I be taking these Nurokind OD tablets? Should I just swallow them?

Nurokind 1500 mg and Nurokind OD are similar, containing Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12), but with different formulations; Nurokind OD is designed for once-daily dosing, typically with a higher strength (e.g., 2500-3000 mcg), and should be swallowed whole with water, once daily, at the same time.

I've been having this pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a week. At first, I thought it might just be gas pains and noticed I've been a bit constipated, so I took some stool softeners. But now, my stool has turned a light clay color. I read somewhere that this could be linked to gallstones. I tried to find out if the stool color change might be due to the stool softeners, but I couldn't find much information. Should I be worried and see a doctor right away, or should I wait to see if it continues?

Light clay-colored stool can indicate several possibilities: Common Causes 1. Stool softeners (as you suspected) 2. Malabsorption (e.g., lactose intolerance, celiac disease) 3. Bile duct obstruction (unlikely with stool softeners) 4. Gastrointestinal infections (e.g., giardiasis) 5. Medication side effects (e.g., antibiotics, antacids) When to Seek Medical Attention 1. Persistent or worsening abdominal pain 2. Diarrhea or vomiting 3. Blood in stool or vomit 4. Fever above 101.5F (38.6C) 5. Significant weight loss 6. Persistent clay-colored stool beyond 2 weeks SELF CARE 1. Continue stool softeners only if prescribed. 2. Monitor stool color, consistency, and frequency. 3. Maintain a balanced diet. 4. Stay hydrated.

Your symptoms of cold, cough, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing saliva, but not food, suggest a possible viral pharyngitis or tonsillitis; the reason for this selective difficulty swallowing is likely due to the inflammation and irritation of the throat, which is more pronounced when swallowing thin liquids like saliva, but less noticeable with thicker, more lubricated foods; treatment options include: gargling with warm salt water, sucking on lozenges or ice chips,

I'm a bit concerned about my mom who is 52. Her name is Gayatri Singh. She has blood pressure but isn't diabetic. The doctor said her blood pressure is normal, but when we did a fasting sugar test at home, it was 162. What does this mean? Could it be that she might have diabetes? I would really appreciate some guidance on this.

A fasting blood sugar level of 162 mgdL is higher than the normal range (70-99 mgdL) and indicates impaired fasting glucose, a precursor to diabetes; given your mother's age, blood pressure history, and non-diabetic status, it's essential to consult her doctor for further evaluation, including a confirmatory fasting blood sugar test, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), or HbA1c test, to determine if she has developed diabetes or prediabetes, and to discuss lifestyle modifications and potential medication to manage her blood sugar levels

I'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

Potential Causes* 1. *Anxiety and stress*: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors. 2. *Caffeine intake*: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure. 3. *Dehydration*: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. 4. *Electrolyte imbalance*: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate. 5. *Hypothyroidism*: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results. 6. *Mitral valve prolapse*: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a cardiologist*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action. 2. *Reduce caffeine intake*: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration. 4. *Monitor your heart rate*: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers. 5. *Consider stress management techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.

Fertisure M is a supplement designed to support male fertility, particularly sperm motility. However, individual results may vary, and the effectiveness of Fertisure M depends on several factors, including: 1. *Underlying causes of low motility*: If the low motility is due to an underlying medical condition, Fertisure M may not be enough to completely resolve the issue. 2. *Dosage and compliance*: Ensure your husband takes the supplement as directed by the doctor. 3. *Combination with other treatments*: Fertisure M might be prescribed in conjunction with other treatments or lifestyle changes. Typically, supplements like Fertisure M may take around 3-6 months to show noticeable improvements in sperm motility. However, this timeframe can vary significantly from person to person. *Monitoring progress*: Regular semen analysis tests (every 2-3 months) can help track changes in sperm motility. This will enable your husband's doctor to assess the effectiveness of Fertisure M and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning. To address this issue, I recommend the following steps: *Diagnostic Tests* 1. *Urine Test*: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 2. *Urethral Swab*: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge. *STD Testing Centers in Pune* Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested: 1. *National AIDS Research Institute (NARI)*: A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV. - Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026 - Phone: 020-27121024 2. *Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic*: Offers free STD testing and treatment. - Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005 - Phone: 020-25501000 3. *Private Labs*: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare. - These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections. *Pre-Test Preparation* Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to: 1. *Abstain from urination*: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results. 2. *Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics*: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results. *Post-Test Care* After the test, your cousin should: 1. *Follow the doctor's advice*: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments. 2. *Practice good hygiene*: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. _Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_ 1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects. 2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications. _High Total Blood Protein_ 1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as: - Dehydration - Liver or kidney disease - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma) 2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. 2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause. 3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

The best treatment for removing stones from the liver, specifically the gallbladder, usually involves surgery. There are two main types of surgery: *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy* and *Open Cholecystectomy* . - *Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy*: This is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the gallbladder. This method is usually performed on an outpatient basis, and you can return to normal physical activity within a week . - *Open Cholecystectomy*: This traditional method involves making a larger incision in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder. This approach is typically used for more complex cases or when the gallbladder is severely inflamed . It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition. They may also recommend other treatments, such as medications to dissolve the stones, but surgery is often the most effective solution .

I've been having shortness of breath for about a week now, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I saw a physician last week who thought it might be related to acidity, so I took medication for that, but it hasn't really helped my breathing at all. It gets particularly bad at night, although once I'm asleep, it's not an issue. I've noticed that as I become more aware of my breathing, the problem seems to intensify. I've got a bit of a cough in my throat and occasionally my nose gets blocked, which only adds to the difficulty. I end up having to breathe through my mouth and yawn a lot just to feel like I'm getting enough air. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

Since the medication for acidity hasn't helped, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess the cause. Given that the symptoms are persisting and worsening, further investigation is important to rule out conditions like asthma, allergies, or heartlung problems. Track your symptoms: Keeping a diary of your symptoms (when they occur, their severity, any triggers) can be helpful for your doctor to get a clearer picture. Consider seeing a specialist: If your physician is uncertain, you might want to see a pulmonologist (lung specialist) or an ENT specialist (for sinus or throat issues).

I've been diagnosed with albumin in my urine, and I also have diabetes and high blood pressure. My blood urea and creatinine levels are at 1.2 and 40, respectively. Are these levels risky, and what steps should I take next?

In conclusion, albumin in urine is an early sign that should not be ignored, especially if you're already dealing with diabetes and high blood pressure. However, since your kidney function tests are still normal, this is a good sign, and with proper management, the risk of kidney damage can be minimized.

Im wondering, is it really necessary to get it in that exact time frame, or is there some flexibility? Can I get the tetanus shot within 48 hours instead? What should I do?

I've been dealing with a bad cough for about a week now and I already took azithral for 5 days once a day. The thing is, for the past 3 days, I've noticed that my morning sputum has streaks of blood in it, even though the cough has gotten a bit better but it's not totally gone. Today, I actually felt a little dizzy while working. My appetite seems pretty normal, it's even increased a bit compared to before. Also, I do smoke quite a bit. Could you advise me on what might be going on or what I should do?

Vitamin D Absorption from Sunlight _Morning Sun vs. Evening Sun_ 1. _UVB rays_: Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to UVB rays from the sun. 2. _Morning sun_: UVB rays are more intense during morning hours (7-10 am), making it a better time for vitamin D production. 3. _Evening sun_: While some UVB rays are still present in the evening (4-6 pm), the intensity is significantly lower, making it less effective for vitamin D production. _Tips for Vitamin D Production from Sunlight_ 1. _Expose skin_: Expose your face, arms, and legs to sunlight for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week. 2. _Avoid peak hours_: Avoid sun exposure during peak hours (11 am-3 pm) to minimize skin damage and skin cancer risk. 3. _Supplement if necessary_: If you're unable to get enough sunlight or have a severe deficiency, consult your doctor about vitamin D supplements. Remember to always practice sun safety, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

Can I drink an ORS solution once or twice daily for rehydration? Is this safe, or could it cause problems for me later on? Should I be using something else like glucose instead since my doctor mentioned I've lost a lot of water in my body? What do you recommend?

ORS can be taken once or twice daily for rehydration, especially if you're experiencing dehydration. It helps replenish lost electrolytes safely. However, glucose alone is not as effective for rehydration since it lacks electrolytes. Stick to ORS for better hydration, but consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

It sounds like you're experiencing abnormal sensations like crawling, twitching, and pricking pain, which could be due to nerve irritation or other underlying issues. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, as these symptoms could be related to conditions like nerve compression or vitamin deficiencies.

Your RBC count of 6.22 is slightly elevated, but it remains within a common range for some individuals, particularly those who are physically active or live at high altitudes. However, it's important to assess other factors, such as overall health and symptoms. Donating blood may help, but I recommend discussing this with your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.

I'm experiencing blood when I have a bowel movement for the past two days, but I don't have any other symptoms. It's just the blood, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

IBS can be frustrating and debilitating. _Given your symptoms:_ 1. _Diarrhea-predominant IBS_: Your symptoms suggest diarrhea-predominant IBS, characterized by frequent, loose stools. 2. _Burning sensation after bowel movements_: This new symptom could be related to: - Irritation of the rectal mucosa - Inflammation or infection - Food intolerance or sensitivity _Consider the following:_ 1. _Re-evaluate your diet_: Keep a food diary to identify potential trigger foods. Common culprits include: - Gluten - Dairy - High-FODMAP foods - Spicy or fatty foods 2. _Probiotics and fiber supplements_: Consider adding probiotics and fiber supplements to your diet to help regulate bowel movements and alleviate symptoms. 3. _Stress management_: Stress can exacerbate IBS symptoms. Engage in stress-reducing activities like: - Meditation - Yoga - Deep breathing exercises 4. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms and explore further treatment options. _Possible treatment options:_ 1. _Amitriptyline_: This medication can help alleviate abdominal pain and diarrhea. 2. _Loperamide_: This medication can help slow down bowel movements and reduce diarrhea. 3. _Rifaximin_: This antibiotic can help alleviate IBS symptoms, particularly bloating and abdominal pain.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?

It sounds like your mother is going through a tough time with joint pain. Ayurvedic treatments like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and joint oils may help manage pain and inflammation, but it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Physiotherapy can also be beneficial in improving joint mobility and reducing pain, so it could be worth exploring alongside other treatments.

I'm really curious about the term "Forte" that's used in so many medicine brand names. Like, I've noticed meds called Benfomet Forte, Nexito Forte, and even Becozyme C Forte. They all seem to end with Forte, and I think it might mean something like "Plus" or maybe indicate a combination of ingredients. Am I on the right track here, or does it mean something else? Just trying to understand it better.

"Forte" is a Latin word meaning "strong" or "potent," but in the context of medication names, it typically indicates a stronger or higher-dose version of a medication, often a combination product, so your understanding of "Forte" being similar to "Plus" is generally correct.

I'm a 27-year-old female and my heart rate seems unusually high, usually over 100, sometimes even reaching 130 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. All my tests, like Spo2, ESR, vitamin levels, thyroid, lipid, and many more have come back normal, including the NT-proBNP. But I just can't shake off this feeling of worry about my heart. The doctors didn't seem to focus much on the heartbeats, though, and asked me to get an MRI spine for my pain. I often experience upper back pain, a heavy feeling in my head, shortness of breath, and sometimes pain in my left breast and shoulder blade. It's less when I'm in bed but gets severe when I'm sitting or working. With my heart rate always on the high side at my age, is this something to be concerned about? Also, why did my doctor order an MRI and not more heart-related tests?

While your symptoms are concerning, its reassuring that you've had normal cardiac markers and blood work, which likely rules out serious heart conditions. However, continued monitoring and further tests will help you get to the root cause.

A slight decrease in platelet count from 150,000 to 140,000 five days after discharge from dengue fever is not uncommon, as platelet counts can fluctuate during recovery; however, it's essential to monitor the trend and watch for any further significant drops or symptoms like bleeding or bruising

Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy! Betnesol injections are often given to help mature the babys lungs if theres a risk of preterm birth, but they are not always necessary for everyone.

I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?

At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

Elevated bilirubin levels may indicate liver dysfunction or hemolysis, while low Vitamin D and B12 levels can cause fatigue, weakness, and neurological issues; consider consulting your healthcare provider to discuss potential underlying causes, such as liver disease, anemia, or malabsorption, and to determine the best course of action for addressing these deficiencies and abnormal lab results.

It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws.

If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Since you've fully recovered and have no symptoms for the last 9 days, you generally don't need to get retested unless required for specific reasons, such as travel or a medical procedure. If you're feeling fine and not in a high-risk situation, you can safely move forward without further testing.

Nightfall (nocturnal emission) is a normal phenomenon, especially during adolescence and early adulthood. The frequency you've described (5-7 times a month) is within the normal range. Regarding your concerns: _The white sticky liquid_ is likely semen, which contains sperm. _Masturbation_: It's normal if nothing comes out except urine, as the body may not always produce semen during masturbation. _Sex with condom_: Using a condom prevents sperm from entering the partner's body, so it's expected that you wouldn't feel sperm coming out. _Fertility_: Nightfall and masturbation don't affect fertility. As long as you have normal semen production and sperm count, you can father a child. If you're concerned about your fertility or have questions, consider consulting: 1. A urologist or andrologist (specialists in male reproductive health) 2. A sexologist or a counselor (for guidance on sexual health and relationships) Remember, it's essential to practice safe sex and use protection to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy.

Got stung by bees last night on my hand, and it swelled and burned for a couple of hours. I used ice, honey, and a baking soda paste, which helped calm it down. By this morning, there's still some pain and swelling, but it's minimal and not very noticeable. I didn't have any allergic reaction to the sting. Should I consider getting a tetanus shot?

you probably don't need a tetanus shot after bee stings. However, if you have any concerns or if the condition worsens (for example, if theres increasing redness, pain, or pus), its always best to check in with a healthcare provider for further advice.

I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two.

I'm dealing with a sore throat that's been persistent for two days now, and I've tried betadine gargles three times a day along with some apple cider vinegar, but nothing seems to be helping. I visited the pharmacy and was given curam 1g to take twice a day for a week, along with clarinase, even though I have no congestion or whiteness in my throat. Should I be taking these medications, or is there something else you recommend? I'm really curious about what the best step forward is.

Curam is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, which is commonly used to treat bacterial infections, including throat infections. Additionally, you can continue taking Clarinase as prescribed. Clarinase contains loratadine and pseudoephedrine, which can help relieve symptoms such as throat irritation and congestion. Make sure to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if you start feeling better before the 7 days are up. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider.

I've noticed that black mucus is coming out, but I'm not experiencing any other discomfort. I'm not a smoker either, so I'm a bit confused about what could be causing this. Is this something I should be worried about, and could you suggest which type of doctor I should see for this issue?

Black mucus can be caused by various factors, including environmental pollution, dust, or fungal infections, and in non-smokers, it may also be related to conditions like bronchitis, asthma, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it's recommended to consult a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment, and in the meantime, consider keeping a symptom journal and avoiding exposure to pollutants.

I'm really worried because it's been 34 days since I got bitten by a stray dog, and the dog's still alive. Does that definitely mean it wasn't carrying or spreading the rabies virus when it bit me?

If the stray dog that bit you is still alive after 34 days, it significantly reduces the likelihood that the dog was shedding rabies virus at the time of the bite, as dogs typically die within 3-14 days after showing symptoms of rabies, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or local animal control for further guidance and to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is still necessary.

Given your symptoms of chest pain and occasional blood-tinged morning spit, despite a largely normal full-body checkup, it's essential to consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to further investigate the cause of your symptoms, especially since your thyroid and cholesterol levels are only slightly elevated.

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and I've been having a really bad throat infection along with a blocked nose and cough. My gynecologist advised me to take Augmentin 625 Duo, which I've been on for the past two days. The cough was quite bad, so I decided to start Montek LC as well. I took a dose at about 3 PM yesterday, and then another half dose at midnight. I'm continuing with the antibiotics for another three days to finish the course. Can you tell me if taking these medications together is safe?

It's generally safe to take Augmentin 625 Duo (amoxicillin-clavulanate) as prescribed by your gynecologist for 5 days, and Montek LC (montelukast) as needed for cough, but taking an extra half dose of Montek LC at midnight may not be necessary, so consult your doctor to confirm the dosage and ensure safe use during pregnancy, as both medications are category B, meaning animal studies have shown no harm, but human studies are limited.

I've been noticing this strange warm sensation in my lower leg lately. It pops up for about a minute then just disappears on its own. There's no pain or swelling, just feels like heat is leaving that area. Occasionally, I'll feel it in my back or shoulder too, but it's pretty rare. Could this be linked to having had Covid a couple of months ago? I had my d-dimer checked back then and it was normal. What might be going on with these sensations?

The intermittent, brief, and painless warm sensations in your lower leg, back, or shoulder could be due to various benign causes, such as vasospasm (temporary blood vessel constriction), nerve sensitivity, or muscle relaxation, and while it's reassuring that your D-dimer levels were normal after COVID-19, it's still possible that you may be experiencing post-COVID-19 symptoms, such as autonomic nervous system dysfunction or peripheral neuropathy, so consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action is recommended.

I've been dealing with a sore throat for the past two days. I tried taking Monteklc, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Do you have any idea why it might not be working and what else I could try for relief?

Since Montek-LC (a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast) is primarily an antihistamine and anti-asthmatic medication, its effectiveness for throat pain may be limited; consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and alternative treatments, such as antibiotics if bacterial infection is suspected, or pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help alleviate throat pain.

Is it really okay to take Azithromycin for 5 days straight? Does it help with throat infections, or should I be looking out for anything in particular while I'm on it?

Azithromycin 500mg is prescribed for 3 days for most bacterial infections, but a 5-day course may be recommended for certain conditions, such as streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat); since your doctor has prescribed it for 5 days for your throat infection, it's likely appropriate, but always follow their instructions and complete the full course.

Now Im dealing with body aches, a headache, shivering, and chills. My body feels a little warm, but thankfully there's no nausea or stomach ache. Do you have any advice on how to feel better and get my energy back? Id really appreciate some detailed insights.

First thing is eat well, eat after getting hungry. Chew the food properly. For some day try avoiding non veg. I can understood that your body is trying hard to digest. The warmth you feel is nothing but a sign that your body works a lot. Say for eg, you are not hungry. Which states that you stomach is not ready to digest anything, it lacks enzyme for digestion at that time. When you eat heavy food that time, body tried hard to digest what you have eat. Stomach is need need to get more blood supply for more functioning. Which leads to poor blood supply to brain. Which is why many person feel sleepy after heavy food intake. Understand the digestion physiology and eat accordingly. Try taking Lemon, orange, pinapple, grape, amla soups at 12pm afternoon. It may act as an appetizer. Don't eat anything after breakfast.

I'm also dealing with a lot of weakness, joint pain, chest pain, and headaches. What should I do?

Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a common and normal phenomenon. *Causes of Nightfall* 1. *Hormonal changes*: Fluctuations in testosterone levels can contribute to nightfall. 2. *Sexual arousal*: Unresolved sexual tension or arousal can lead to nightfall. 3. *Sleep patterns*: Certain sleep stages, such as REM sleep, can increase the likelihood of nightfall. 4. *Stress and anxiety*: High stress levels can contribute to nightfall. *Prescription for Reducing Nightfall* While there is no definitive "cure" for nightfall, some treatments and lifestyle changes can help reduce its frequency: 1. *Consult a urologist or sexologist*: Discuss your concerns with a specialist to rule out underlying medical conditions. 2. *Practice relaxation techniques*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. 3. *Establish a consistent sleep schedule*: Regular sleep patterns can help regulate hormonal imbalances. 4. *Avoid stimulating activities before bedtime*: Refrain from watching explicit content, reading erotic material, or engaging in intense conversations before sleep. 5. *Exercise regularly*: Regular physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety. 6. *Consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)*: A therapist can help you address underlying psychological factors contributing to nightfall. *Herbal Remedies and Supplements* Certain herbal remedies and supplements may help reduce nightfall frequency: 1. *Ashwagandha*: This adaptogenic herb can help regulate stress and anxiety. 2. *Kaunch beej (Mucuna pruriens)*: This herb is believed to help regulate hormonal imbalances. 3. *Shilajit*: This mineral-rich substance is thought to help balance hormonal levels. Please consult a healthcare professional before adding any supplements to your regimen. *Conclusion* Nightfall is a common phenomenon that can be addressed through lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, and professional guidance. Consult a urologist or sexologist to discuss your concerns and develop a personalized plan to reduce nightfall frequency.

S. Typhi O positive at 1:80 in a Widal test suggests a mild or borderline immune response to Salmonella typhi, the bacteria causing typhoid fever. This may indicate a past infection or vaccination, but by itself, it doesn't confirm active typhoid; clinical symptoms and other tests are essential.

It sounds like you might be dealing with digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or possibly even something like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Do I need to get an injection if my cat bit me? The bite is small, just removed some skin, not really bleeding but there's a bit of blood visible at the spot where the bite happened. Would you recommend getting an injection for this?

If the cat bite has broken the skin, it's important to clean the wound thoroughly and watch for signs of infection. Even if the bite is small, it's advisable to get a tetanus shot and possibly a rabies vaccine, depending on the cat's vaccination status and your local guidelines. It's best to consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

I've been going to the bathroom a lot after getting my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and I also had a fever last night. I spent the entire night having to urinate every half hour. I'm really worriedis this a side effect of the vaccine or could it be something else?

Frequent urination after a COVID-19 vaccine isn't a common side effect, but the fever you experienced might have triggered increased urination due to fluid intake or changes in your body's response. If this continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

I've had a minor skin surgery recently, and my doctor recommended I get a CBP. I noticed in my report that my RBC and RDW levels are higher than normal, while my MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower. Should I be worried about this? I'm generally healthy and don't have any symptoms that seem concerning to me. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the context of these results.

I'm really confused because I got bitten by a dog and my doctor told me to get 3 doses of the rabies vaccine, but I thought there were 5 doses in the series. Why did my doctor say I only need 3 shots? Should I be worried about this?

Your doctor likely prescribed 3 rabies vaccine doses because you're considered to be at low to moderate risk, which usually requires 3 doses. The full 5-dose schedule is typically given to those with higher exposure or specific risk factors.

What dosage of Thyronorm do you think I should take if my TSH levels are at 11.5? Should I stick to 50mcg or bump it up to 100mcg? I've been on 50mcg for about 16 years, but I've recently picked up a lot of physical activity and started a healthier diet. I stopped taking my meds for about three weeks and that's when my TSH came out high. What do you suggest I do now?

Given your TSH level of 11.5 and your history of taking 50 mcg of Thyronorm for 16 years, its important to consult with your doctor. Generally, they may recommend returning to your previous dosage (50 mcg), but they might adjust it based on how your body responds to training and dietary changes. Regular monitoring is key.

I'm a bit puzzled about my platelet count; its consistently between 60,000 and 70,000. Honestly, I feel great, and Ive never had any illnesses like dengue or fever, and I dont take any medications. Im curious why my platelets would be below the minimum range if Im not experiencing any health issues. Could there be something else affecting it that I'm not aware of?

Low platelet count (60K-70K) can occur due to various reasons, even if you're feeling fine. It could be related to factors like genetics, mild immune issues, or your body's natural variation. It's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough check-up to rule out any underlying causes.

It sounds like your friend is dealing with a severe stomach issue. If the prescribed medicines aren't working, it's important for them to revisit their doctor, as it could be a sign of an underlying infection or condition that requires a different approach. In some cases, probiotics or a more specific treatment might be needed.

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain and burning sensation in my anus for the last couple of months. At first, there was some blood too, so I thought it might just be a small cut or something and I tried using Boroline on it. The bleeding stopped, which is good, but the pain and burning are still there, mostly when I'm using the toilet. Could you please give me some advice on how to make this go away?

It sounds like you might be dealing with an anal fissure, which is common and causes pain, burning, and sometimes bleeding. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid straining during bowel movements. You could also try using a stool softener, warm sitz baths, and apply a soothing ointment like Anusol or Hydrocortisone cream. If the pain persists, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

My mom's been running a high fever for the last couple of days. The doctor suggested she take doxcef cv, dolo 650, and meftal 500. She's been on these meds for a bit now, but her fever isnt dropping below 102. Can we give her meftal two hours after she takes dolo? Any advice would be appreciated.

It's generally safe to alternate Dolo 650 and Meftal 500 for fever management, but they should be spaced out by at least 4 hours, not 2 hours. Since her fever is persistent, it might be helpful to contact the doctor again for further evaluation. Keep her hydrated and monitor her temperature regularly.

I'm a 23-year-old guy and lately, I've noticed this really unusual smell in my stool for the past 10 to 15 days. It's not like the usual odor, and I can't even begin to describe it. On top of that, I've been dealing with constipation off and on. Other than these issues, I feel okay. I should mention that a couple of months ago, I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy because of some abdomen pain, but everything came back normal. Is this something I should be worried about?

Its good that your colonoscopy and endoscopy were normal. A change in stool odor, along with occasional constipation, could be related to diet or mild digestive issues, but if the symptoms persist or worsen, it's worth checking in with your doctor again to rule out any underlying concerns.

I've been feeling this weird fullness in my upper abdomen for the last couple of days. At first, I kind of brushed it off thinking it would go away on its own, but now it's really starting to get on my nerves. Should I be worried or is it something that'll likely pass if I just wait it out a bit longer?

Feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen could be due to gas, indigestion, or mild gastritis. Try eating smaller meals, avoid heavy or spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. If it persists or worsens, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

I was cooking and noticed some tiny plastic bits in the food, which I removed right away. Now I'm a bit worriedwhat if I swallowed some by accident? Could something like that be harmful, even if it's a really tiny amount?

It's natural to worry, but if the plastic bits were very small and you removed most of them, there's likely no need for concern. Tiny, negligible amounts of plastic typically pass through the digestive system without causing harm. If you feel any discomfort or symptoms, consult a doctor for reassurance.

I'm a 30-year-old woman and just recently had a baby. I had my LFT done, and my sgot level is 28, sgpt is 57, and ggt is 122. Should I be worried about this? What can I do to lower my sgpt and ggt levels?

Hello! Your SGOT and SGPT levels are within a manageable range, but GGT is elevated, which might indicate liver strain. Since you recently delivered, this could be related to postpartum changes or medications. Focus on a balanced diet, avoid alcohol, stay hydrated, and consult your doctor for tailored advice.

I'm really concerned because my ultrasound report came back showing hepatomegaly with fatty liver grade 1 and a partially distended gallbladder. My SGPT and SGOT levels are normal, and so is my bilirubin and alkaline phosphate. I do experience light inflammation and occasional pain in my right upper abdomen. I'm worried and feeling a lot of anxiety about this. Could you please tell me what's going on and recommend any medications or treatments I should consider? I'm eager to understand more about my situation.

Your ultrasound shows a mild fatty liver (grade 1) and a partially distended gallbladder, which could be linked to diet or minor gallbladder dysfunction. Since your liver enzymes and bilirubin are normal, its not alarming. Focus on a low-fat, balanced diet and regular exercise, and consult a doctor to discuss potential medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid if needed. Don't worry; this is manageable with lifestyle changes.

I'm a 21-year-old female and recently found out that my red blood cell count is a bit higher than normal. It came back at 5.19 gdl, even though the range is usually 3.80-5.10 gdl. My doctor said not to worry but it's still on my mind. Should I be concerned about this?

No need to worry! Your red blood cell count is only slightly above the normal range, which can happen due to dehydration, stress, or even being at higher altitudes. Since your doctor isnt concerned, its likely not seriousjust stay hydrated and follow up if needed.

Your BP readings are slightly on the higher side of normal, especially the diastolic (90+). Occasional variations can happen, but consistently elevated readings (above 12080) could indicate prehypertension. Monitor it regularly, reduce stress, eat healthy, and consult a doctor if it stays high.

I'm wondering if having high MCH and MCV levels could be making me gain weight. Also, could these levels cause any issues with altitude sickness? I'm planning to climb Kilimanjaro next month, so I'm curious about how this might affect me.

High MCH and MCV often indicate macrocytic anemia, which can affect energy levels and endurance, possibly making weight gain harder and altitude sickness more challenging. Before climbing Kilimanjaro, consult your doctor to address this, as anemia may impact oxygen transport in high-altitude conditions.

I'm looking at some of my recent blood work results, and I'm a bit unsure about what they mean. My total bilirubin level is 1.6, direct bilirubin is 0.3, and indirect bilirubin is 1.3. Everything else in my liver tests came back normal, but I'm still concerned if these bilirubin numbers could indicate any health issues. Could you help me understand if there's anything to worry about?

Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, primarily due to indirect bilirubin. This could indicate mild liver function changes, hemolysis, or Gilbert's syndrome if you feel well otherwise. Monitor symptoms and consult a doctor for further evaluation if needed.

I've been dealing with this annoying pain in my right testicle, inner thigh, and lower back for almost a month now. I had a scrotal ultrasound done and it came back normal. I've also been on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds for about 20 days but still no relief. It gets worse when I'm sitting. Any idea what could be going on or what I should do next?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a persistent issue that could involve muscle strain, nerve irritation, or another underlying condition. Given that the ultrasound is normal, I'd suggest following up with your doctor to explore other possibilities, like pelvic floor dysfunction or referred pain, and potentially consider physical therapy or a specialist referral for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned because I've been having a fever that sometimes goes above 103C for the last four months. We've done all sorts of tests like for malaria and typhoid, and they've all come back normal. Blood cells are normal, urine culture, 2D echo, and blood culture are also normal. The fever seems to spike at night, reaching up to 103C, and taking DOLO P650 just makes me sweat a lot but doesnt really help long-term. What's going on here? Why is the temperature still high when everything else seems normal?

The persistent fever of over 103C for four months, despite normal test results, suggests a possible underlying condition that might not be easily detected through routine tests. It could be due to an autoimmune issue, chronic infection, or inflammatory disorder. It's important to follow up with a specialist for further evaluation and possibly more advanced testing.

I'm wondering if a blood pressure reading of 10575 is considered low. What precautions should I be taking, and are there any medicines I need? I don't have any other health issues, so I'm curious about what might be the best steps for me to stay healthy.

A blood pressure of 10575 mmHg is within the normal range and generally not considered low. However, if you're feeling lightheaded or dizzy, it's a good idea to stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and avoid sudden position changes. No specific medication is needed if you're feeling fine otherwise.

Since I've had my tubes tied for almost three years, I'm puzzled. Could there be a chance that I'm pregnant, or what else might be going on?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms similar to pregnancy, but since you had your tubes tied and recently had your period, its unlikely you're pregnant. However, if the symptoms persist, it might be worth checking with your doctor to rule out other causes.

What should I do? Is it okay to just sleep and see how I feel in the morning, or is there something I should do right now?

It's important not to wait until tomorrow. If you're still feeling discomfort after vomiting, try drinking water or warm liquids to help move the bone along. If you feel pain or difficulty swallowing, consider going to the ER to ensure it's not causing injury or blockage.

I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

Its good that your doctor assessed your condition. Zenflox-200 (Ofloxacin) is typically prescribed for bacterial infections, so if you dont have symptoms suggesting an infection (like stomach issues or mucus), you might want to discuss with your doctor whether its necessary. Meanwhile, stay hydrated with ORS and continue Calpol for fever.

I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to take the Vitamin D Uprise sachet with milk or just stick with the Uprise capsule. I recently noticed my Vitamin D and B12 levels dropped from 60 to 27 over the past four months. I spend a lot of time working under AC as I'm in IT. How can I keep my Vitamin D and B12 levels healthy? Are there any natural or mild supplements you'd recommend for maintaining these vitamins? Also, what would be a good yearly dosage to consider?

Both Vit D Uprise sachet and Uprise capsule are effective in increasing Vitamin D levels. However, if you prefer to take it with milk, then the Vit D Uprise sachet with milk would be a better option. To maintain optimal Vitamin D and B12 levels, you can consider taking supplements. For Vitamin D, you can take Uprise Vitamin D3 capsules 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by Uprise Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a month. For Vitamin B12, you can take Neurobion Forte tablets once daily. Additionally, include Vitamin D and B12 rich foods in your diet such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, eggs, and lean meats. Regular exposure to sunlight is also important for Vitamin D synthesis. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your specific health needs.

This type of pain that radiates from the armpit to the elbow when coughing could be indicative of a condition known as brachial neuritis or brachial plexus neuropathy. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may also be beneficial.

I've got this really big fibroid on the back wall of my uterus and my periods are normal, but the fibroid is like 13 cm. Should I consider getting surgery for it, or would trying homeopathic medicines be better? I'm really unsure about what to do and would love some advice.

For a fibroid of that size, surgical intervention is usually recommended to address the issue effectively. Homeopathic medicines may not be able to shrink a fibroid of that size significantly. I would advise consulting with a gynecologist to discuss the surgical options available, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, based on your individual case.

I'm worried about what happens if an Indian house lizard bites you. Is it poisonous, or can it cause some kind of health issue? Also, what should I do first if it happens?

Indian house lizard bites are generally not poisonous and do not cause serious health issues. However, the bite can sometimes lead to mild irritation, redness, or swelling at the site of the bite. If a lizard bites you, the first aid would involve cleaning the affected area with soap and water to prevent infection. You can apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling or pain. Over-the-counter antiseptic cream can also be applied to the bite area to prevent infection. If there is persistent pain or signs of infection, it is advisable to seek medical attention.

I've just got my Fibroscan report and it says the median stiffness is 7.9 Kpa. I'm really confused about what this means. Does this indicate I've got fatty liver? Could you help me understand this better and let me know what steps I should take next?

It is a measure of liver stiffness, with higher values suggesting more advanced liver fibrosis. This does not necessarily mean it is due to fatty liver, as there are various causes of liver fibrosis. Based on the fibroscan report, further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of liver fibrosis. I recommend consulting with a gastroenterologist or hepatologist for a comprehensive evaluation and management plan. Treatment may involve lifestyle modifications, medication, or other interventions depending on the underlying cause of liver fibrosis.

I've had a bit of a scare recently while doing the dishes. I accidentally cut my finger on a piece of glass. Initially, it seemed alright after rinsing it with water, but then things got weird. I started feeling short of breath, my head went all dizzy, and just as I grabbed a napkin for the wound, my vision went dark like I couldn't see anything. I almost collapsed but managed to lie down on my bed, and then it all just went away. Does this sound like a serious issue to you?

You may have experienced a vasovagal response, which can sometimes occur in response to pain or stress. However, given the symptoms you described, such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, and vision changes, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out any serious underlying issues. In the meantime, you can clean the wound with antiseptic solution and apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the wound covered with a sterile bandage and monitor for any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge.

I'm really worried about typhoid and how it's passed between people. Can it be spread through kissing or other close contact? How likely is it to be transmitted from one person to another this way?

Typhoid fever is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. It is typically transmitted through the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella typhi. However, close contact with an infected person can increase the risk of transmission. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing utensils, to help prevent the spread of typhoid fever. If you suspect you have been exposed to typhoid fever, antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin can be prescribed for treatment.

I'm experiencing a loss of smell and taste over the last two days, but I don't really have any other symptoms. There's a very mild cold, but it doesn't feel like a regular cold at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it nothing to worry about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing mild symptoms of a cold. To help with your loss of smell and taste, you can try using a nasal decongestant spray like Afrin. You can also take an antihistamine like Claritin to help with any congestion. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for both medications.

It sounds like you may be experiencing intermittent fever episodes despite having a normal body temperature reading.

However, if you are feeling excessively hot even in an air-conditioned environment and you are on blood pressure medication, it could be related to your medication. Some blood pressure medications can cause side effects such as flushing or feeling hot.

I'm really looking to increase my height at 26 years old. At the moment, I'm 5'6" and I'd love to reach around 5'9" or 5'10". I've heard about HGH supplements like L-arginine or L-lysinedo these actually work for someone my age? If not, are there any other supplements you might recommend for height growth? I stay active with yoga, running, stretching, and jumping. Would love your advice!

Unfortunately, at the age of 26, your growth plates have likely fused, making it very difficult to increase height through supplements or exercises. HGH supplements like l-arginine or l-lysine may not significantly impact your height at this stage. However, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to maintain bone health. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can support overall health and potentially optimize your height potential.

I've been monitoring my blood pressure daily for the past month, and it usually fluctuates between 95 to 105, with 100 over 70 being quite common. I'm a bit concerned if this is considered normal for my age. What might be causing these readings, and should I be worried about them not going above 105?

Your blood pressure readings of 10070 with fluctuations between 95 to 105 are considered low but generally not concerning if you are not experiencing any symptoms. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation. The fluctuation in blood pressure could be due to various factors such as dehydration, stress, lack of physical activity, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. To help maintain a stable blood pressure, you can focus on staying well-hydrated, managing stress through relaxation techniques, incorporating regular exercise into your routine, and ensuring a balanced diet. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical advice promptly.

I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.

It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.

It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a different brand of pregnancy test or a blood test for a more accurate result.

So I recently got my blood test results back and a few things are standing out to me. My ESR is at 36, my hemoglobin is low at 10, and my eosinophils are at 7. Everything else seems to be within the normal range. I'm just wondering if there's something I should be concerned about or if there's any specific reason for these levels?

Congratulations on recovering from chickenpox. _Chicken Consumption After Chickenpox_ There's no specific restriction on consuming chicken after chickenpox. The name "chickenpox" is a misnomer, and the virus is not related to chickens. _Non-Spicy Chicken Soup_ You can have non-spicy chicken soup 24 days after the onset of chickenpox, as your blisters have dried up. _Pimples on Forehead_ The small pimples on your forehead might be a residual effect of the chickenpox virus or a separate skin issue. Monitor them, and if they persist or worsen,

I've been having this dull pinch sensation in my penis whenever I'm straining, stressing, or even just sitting or standing. It first showed up during a regular masturbatory sessionnothing too rough. It's been hanging around for the last several weeks, and now I've noticed a purple spot on the glans corona, right where I feel the pinch. It kind of looks like a bruise. Just recently, the sensation seems to be happening less often and isn't as intense. What could be going on?

I'm a 31-year-old woman, and lately, I've noticed some weird bruising showing up on my upper thighs. They're like a light brown color, and they go away in about a week or so, but then new ones pop up. There's also a small bruise on my left breast where my bra underwire hits, and its been there for more than two weeks now. What's weird is none of these bruises hurt. Oh, and just this past week, I've started having knee pain on my left leg too. My family doesn't have a history of diabetes or thyroid issues, and Ive never been hospitalized before. What do you think could be going on?

Passing out (syncope) after a tooth extraction is not uncommon, but it's not entirely normal either. Here are some possible reasons why it might have happened: *Possible Causes* 1. *Blood loss and dehydration*: Although tooth extraction is a relatively minor procedure, some blood loss and dehydration can occur. This might lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure, causing dizziness or fainting. 2. *Pain and stress*: The physical and emotional stress of the procedure can cause a vasovagal response, leading to a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate, resulting in fainting. 3. *Anesthesia and sedation*: If you received local anesthesia or sedation during the procedure, it might have contributed to dizziness or fainting. 4. *Underlying medical conditions*: Certain medical conditions, such as low blood pressure, anemia, or heart conditions, can increase the risk of fainting. *What to Do Now* 1. *Rest and hydration*: Rest and drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids. 2. *Monitor your condition*: Keep an eye on your temperature, blood pressure, and overall well-being. If you experience severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe bleeding, seek immediate medical attention. 3. *Follow up with your dentist*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your dentist to ensure the extraction site is healing properly and to discuss any concerns you may have. Remember, while fainting after a tooth extraction is not uncommon, it's essential to monitor your condition and seek medical attention if you experience any severe symptoms.

I had sex for the first time with a guy on Saturday night, and by Sunday afternoon, I had a fever that lasted about a day. Im worried because I know a fever can be a symptom of HIV, but isnt that too soon for symptoms to show up? It was less than 18 hours after we had sex. We did use a condom, although we had about 5 seconds of skin-to-skin contact without it. Could this mean I dont have HIV, or should I be concerned?

Given your situation, medication can be explored as an alternative to ureteroscopy, but it's essential to consult your urologist for personalized guidance. *Medication Options* 1. *Alpha-blockers*: Medications like Tamsulosin (Flomax) can help relax the muscles in the ureter, allowing the stone to pass more easily. 2. *Pain management*: Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to manage discomfort and pain associated with the stone. 3. *Muscle relaxants*: Medications like Diazepam (Valium) can help relax the muscles in the ureter and reduce spasms. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Regular ultrasound*: Schedule regular ultrasound check-ups to monitor the stone's movement and kidney function. 2. *Blood tests*: Regular blood tests can help monitor kidney function and detect any potential complications. 3. *Symptom monitoring*: Keep track of your symptoms, including pain, nausea, and vomiting, and report any changes to your doctor. *When to Consider Ureteroscopy* 1. *Severe pain*: If your pain becomes unbearable or persists despite medication. 2. *Infection*: If you develop signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or burning during urination. 3. *Kidney damage*: If your kidney function deteriorates or you experience severe hydronephrosis.

I found out I had Hepa B a couple of years back after an hbsag screening, and I was told it might go away by itself. So recently, I got my blood screened again, and the result came back as nonreactive. Could this mean the virus has cleared up on its own? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some insight.

I'm happy to help clarify this for you. *Understanding Your Hepatitis B Test Results* *Initial Diagnosis (2 years ago)* - You tested positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), indicating an active Hepatitis B infection. *Recent Test Results* - Your recent HBsAg test result is "non-reactive," which means the virus is no longer detectable in your blood. *What Does This Mean?* A non-reactive HBsAg result suggests that: 1. *Viral clearance*: Your body may have cleared the Hepatitis B virus on its own, which is possible in some cases. 2. *Viral suppression*: Alternatively, the virus might still be present but at undetectable levels, possibly due to your immune system's response. However, to confirm whether you've truly cleared the virus, you should undergo further testing, such as: 1. *HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface antibody) test*: This checks for antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus, indicating immunity. 2. *HBV DNA (Hepatitis B virus DNA) test*: This measures the viral load in your blood.

I'm really worried because my doctor told me to take Ivermectol 12 mg every 4 days for my hydrocele, but I haven't seen any results yet. Should I be concerned that it's not working, or might there be something else I should try?

Ivermectol 12mg is typically used to treat parasitic infections, not hydrocele. _Hydrocele Treatment_ 1. _Needle aspiration_: A procedure where a needle is inserted to drain the fluid. 2. _Surgery (hydrocelectomy)_: A surgical procedure to remove the hydrocele sac. _Ivermectol for Hydrocele_ Using Ivermectol for hydrocele treatment is unconventional and may not be effective. Ivermectol is an antiparasitic medication, and hydrocele is a condition characterized by fluid accumulation in the scrotum. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a urologist_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss alternative treatment options. 2. _Re-evaluate treatment_: Consider needle aspiration or surgery, which are more effective treatments for hydrocele. 3. _Stop Ivermectol_: Discontinue taking Ivermectol, as it may not be addressing the underlying condition.

Para thphi BH 180, with the malaria parasite being negative. After the consultation, I was prescribed Taxim 200, Paracetamol 650, Femotodine 40, and Pan 40 to take for seven days. Now that I've completed the course, I'm still experiencing full body aches, a burning sensation in my stomach, a low-grade fever, and symptoms of dehydration and anxiety.

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and I've got a worry I can't shake. I tend to poke and press my lymph nodes pretty often, like maybe 10 to 15 times a day. Could doing this make them swell up or harm them? I know I'm checking them a lot, practically every hour, but I'm just really concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?

Yes, do not unnecessary press the lymph nodes. They are the organs which filter the infections from the body. These infection causing organisms will be stored in a dormant form in the lymph nodes so pressing it unnecessary is not a good thing. Secondly, examining oneself 10-15 times is alarming, it can be OCD with hypochrondria which requires medications.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?

I'm a bit worried about my recent health situation. Over the last three days, I've noticed that I feel like my head is spinning whenever I'm trying to go to sleep. I checked my blood pressure at home using our Omron digital auto BP machine, and it seems to be consistently within the same range. On top of that, I'm already on medication for thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Telday 40. Do you think these symptoms are related to my current medications or should I be concerned about something else?

Given your wife's symptoms of dizziness and head spinning, especially when sleeping, and considering her pre-existing conditions of thyroid, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hypertension (with BP consistently in the same range), it's essential to consult her primary care physician or a specialist to adjust her medications, particularly Telday 40, and investigate potential causes such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or medication interactions.

Now she's experiencing a cooling sensation in her stomach, but luckily, there aren't any other symptoms at the moment. Could there be any side effects from this? What should we do next? Can you please advise?

Accidentally taking Karvol Plus capsules orally instead of inhaling the vapor through steam may cause stomach upset or discomfort due to the camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil ingredients; however, since your wife is only experiencing coolness in the stomach without other severe symptoms, monitor her condition closely and encourage her to drink plenty of water to help flush out the system;

I did a dengue test today, and it came back positive, but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. My doctor mentioned something about starting treatment on the 5th day. Can you please help me understand what kind of treatment to expect for dengue?

Hi there I understand your concern... There is no specific treatment for dengue its just supportive and symptomatic...treatment is mainly to reduce fever, prevent dehydration and to observe patient carefully...if you are not having spontaneous bleeding nothing to worry... Just consult nearest physician and get your platelets checked daily as count bellow 20k may lead to dengue shock syndrome in that case you will require platelets transfusion...

I woke up this morning and suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy, but it only lasted for about 5 minutes. Could you help me understand what might have caused this?

Sudden sweating and dizziness upon waking, lasting only 5 minutes, could be due to various factors, including a temporary drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar, anxiety or panic attack, dehydration, or even a minor vasovagal episode, but if such episodes recur or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.

For Limcee, a vitamin C chewable tablet, chewing it is recommended over sucking, as chewing helps to break down the tablet and release the vitamin C, allowing for better absorption in the digestive system, whereas sucking may lead to swallowing the tablet whole, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

Hey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?

Yes, high blood pressure (19090 mmHg) can cause a varicocele (enlarged vein) to rupture, leading to testicular bleeding; immediate medical attention is crucial to rule out other potential causes, such as testicular torsion or tumor, and to prevent further complications.

I've been feeling feverish after drinking cold water, but when I check my temperature, it's normal. Internally, I just feel really sick, and my body hurts too. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it? This just doesn't feel right to me.

Drinking cold water can cause a temporary condition called "cold stress," leading to internal feverish sensations, body aches, and general malaise, even without a raised body temperature; to alleviate symptoms, rest, stay hydrated with warm fluids, and consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

I'm wondering if having typhoid can actually delay your periods. Also, could all the antibiotics and medicines I've been taking, plus the weakness from being sick, be affecting my cycle too?

Your periods are dependent upon the hormones in the body. The hormones can get imbalanced during the stress of an infection and there is reported cases of delay in such cases. But if it is delayed by more than 10 days, you should visit your gynecologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ultrasound, thyroid profile, etc. to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly. Keep yourself well hydrated, have a good and balanced nutrition and rest well to heal.

I'm noticing a slight sensation, not exactly pain, when I bend to the left side of my lower abdomen. Any idea what could be causing this?

The slight sensation in your lower left abdomen while bending could be due to various reasons. Here are a few possibilities: 1. Digestive issues: Constipation, gas, or indigestion can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen. 2. Muscle strain: Bending can put strain on the abdominal muscles, leading to a sensation of tightness or discomfort. 3. Hernia: A small hernia in the abdominal wall can cause a sensation of discomfort or pressure when bending. 5. Kidney issues: A kidney stone or infection can cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, although this is often accompanied by pain. It's essential to consult a MD MEDICINE to determine the cause of the sensation and rule out any underlying conditions.

Had a penicillin shot for syphilis in my lower hip about 5 days back. The pain was pretty bad for a couple of days but then got better. Now I've got this hard lump at the injection site. Theres no redness or irritation and it's not visible, but I can feel it when I touch it, it's hard and a bit sore. Tried using a hot compress but the lump's still there. Should I be worried about it?

The hard lump at the injection site is likely a localized reaction to the penicillin injection, which can cause inflammation, scarring, or granuloma formation; as long as there's no increasing pain, redness, or swelling, it's probably benign, but monitor the lump's size and tenderness, and consult your doctor if it persists or worsens, as they may recommend further evaluation or treatment, such as antibiotics or steroid injections.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Mucaine Gel or Gelusil Syrup to help relieve the gas and discomfort in your throat. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed, up to several times a day. Additionally, you can try taking an over-the-counter medication like omeprazole (Omez) once a day before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Make sure to avoid lying down immediately after eating and try to elevate your head while sleeping to help prevent acid reflux. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

It's really bothering me and I can't seem to get any sleep. Could you please suggest how to treat this or maybe recommend some medicine?

This sensation you are experiencing could be due to a condition called Formication. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine. Additionally, you can use a topical cream containing Calamine to soothe the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a dry cough for the last six months, and it's really starting to worry me. I've tried more than 10 different cough syrups, but nothing seems to work. It gets so bad at night that I can't sleep because of the coughing. What's strange is, I don't have a runny nose. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this and how I might be able to treat it?

I'm worried about my 11-month-old baby who weighs 9kg and has vomited twice. How much Calpol suspension should I give her? Is there any specific dosage I need to follow?

For an 11-month-old baby weighing 9kg, the recommended dosage of Calpol Suspension (containing paracetamol) is: - 2.5-5 mL (60-120 mg) every 4-6 hours, as needed. However, since your baby has vomited twice, consider the following: - Consult your pediatrician before administering Calpol Suspension. - Start with a small dose (2.5 mL or 60 mg) to check for tolerance. - Monitor your baby's temperature and vomiting. - If vomiting persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

I'm really worried because my mom just took 1014 pills of anxit 0.5 mg, and I got her to vomit about 45 minutes after she swallowed them. I'm keeping an eye on her vitals and her pulse is roughly 90 bpm. I'm not sure if I should rush her to the hospital or wait it out a bit longer. What do you think I should do?

Given the situation, it's crucial to prioritize your mother's safety, and I strongly advise taking her to the hospital immediately. Although you made her vomit within 4-5 minutes, which is a good initial step, the ingested amount (10-14 pills of 0.5 mg Anxit) can still cause serious harm, including overdose symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, and slowed breathing.

I'm a bit worried because I've been bitten by a dog, and I'm not certain if the dog has been immunized. Should I consult a particular type of doctor in this situation? And is it possible to check if the dog is vaccinated for rabies before I need to get any shots myself?

you: *Immediate Steps* 1. *Wash the wound*: Immediately wash the bite area with soap and water. 2. *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Apply an antibiotic ointment to the affected area. 3. *Seek medical attention*: Visit a doctor as soon as possible. *Consulting a Doctor* 1. *Primary Care Physician (PCP)*: You can start by consulting your PCP, who will assess the wound and provide guidance on further treatment. 2. *Emergency Room (ER) Doctor*: If the bite is severe or you're experiencing symptoms like fever, chills, or swelling, visit the ER. 3. *Infectious Disease Specialist*: In some cases, your doctor may refer you to an infectious disease specialist for further evaluation and treatment. *Rabies Vaccination* 1. *Assessing the dog's vaccination status*: If possible, try to determine the dog's vaccination status. If the dog is up-to-date on its rabies vaccination, the risk of transmission is lower. 2. *Getting the dog checked*: If the dog's vaccination status is unknown, it's recommended to have the dog observed for 10 days. If the dog remains healthy during this period, the risk of rabies transmission is low. 3. *Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)*: If the dog's vaccination status is unknown or the dog is not available for observation, your doctor may recommend PEP, which includes immediate vaccination against rabies and administration of rabies immunoglobulin.

I've been experiencing some discomfort in my anus while pooping, along with mucous coming out with my stool. This started a few weeks ago and got worse but then improved on its own. However, the discomfort is back over the last two days and today, there was a lot of mucous. While it doesn't hurt during pooping, I feel a sharp pain at a particular spot when using the jet spray. Is this something I should be worried about?

symptoms you're describing, such as anal discomfort, itching, mucous discharge, and sharp pain when using a jet spray, could be indicative of an anal fissure or a rectal abscess. *Possible Causes* 1. *Anal Fissure*: A small tear in the lining of the anus, often caused by constipation, diarrhea, or anal sex. 2. *Rectal Abscess*: A collection of pus in the rectum, often caused by a bacterial infection. 3. *Hemorrhoids*: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus, which can cause discomfort, itching, and mucous discharge. *What to Do* 1. *Consult a Doctor*: Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist, proctologist, or a primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Stool Softeners*: Consider taking stool softeners, such as psyllium (Metamucil), to help soften your stool and reduce discomfort. 3. *Warm Baths*: Take warm baths to help relax the anal muscles and reduce discomfort. 4. *Avoid Jet Spray*: Avoid using the jet spray, as it may exacerbate the condition. *When to Seek Emergency Care* 1. *Severe Pain*: If you experience severe pain or discomfort that interferes with your daily activities. 2. *Heavy Bleeding*: If you notice heavy bleeding from the rectum or anus. 3. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 4. *Difficulty Passing Stool*: If you experience difficulty passing stool or have a feeling of incomplete evacuation.

I'm trying to understand my lab report and I've got some questions. It's mentioned as "Remarks ALERT," and says something about "Predominantly normocytic normochromic with macrocytes and ovalocytes." Can you help me make sense of that? My Hemoglobin is at 12.8, MCV is 109.9 fL, MCH is 33.2 pg, MCHC is 30.3 gdL, RDW-SD is 59.3 fL, and RDW-CV is 14.4. Is there something I should be concerned about? What do these terms mean in terms of my health?

The report indicates that your red blood cells are mostly normal in size and color (normocytic, normochromic), but there are also some abnormally large (macrocytes) and oval-shaped cells present. This could suggest a possible vitamin deficiency or other underlying condition. Your hemoglobin level is normal, but the high MCV (mean corpuscular volume) may point to macrocytosis. Its a good idea to follow up with your doctor to understand the cause.

I'm curious about whether drinking cold, chilled water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is good for you. Could it cause any health problems?

Drinking cold or chilled water on an empty stomach in the morning can have both positive and negative effects on health. _Potential Benefits_ 1. _Boosts metabolism_: Cold water can increase your metabolic rate and help with weight loss. 2. _Improves circulation_: Cold water causes blood vessels to constrict, which can help improve circulation and increase energy levels. 3. _Supports digestive health_: Cold water can help stimulate digestive enzymes and improve bowel movements. _Potential Risks_ 1. _Shocks the digestive system_: Drinking cold water on an empty stomach can shock the digestive system, leading to stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting. 2. _Increases heart rate and blood pressure_: Cold water can cause a sudden increase in heart rate and blood pressure, which may be problematic for people with pre-existing heart conditions. 3. _Can cause dehydration_: Although it may seem counterintuitive, drinking cold water can cause dehydration if the body is not able to absorb it properly. _Precautions_ 1. _Start with lukewarm water_: If you want to drink water on an empty stomach, start with lukewarm water and gradually decrease the temperature. 2. _Drink in moderation_: Drink water in moderation, and avoid gulping down large amounts at once. 3. _Monitor your body's response_: Pay attention to how your body reacts to drinking cold water on an empty stomach. If you experience any discomfort, stop immediately. In conclusion, while drinking cold water on an empty stomach may have some benefits, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions to avoid any adverse effects.

I'm a bit worried because I took Norflox TZ on an empty stomach this morning, and about an hour later, I noticed that my lower lip started to swell slightly. I remembered a similar thing happened last year when I took Levofloxacin. I quickly took Allegra and stopped the Norflox TZ. Do you think I might be allergic to it?

The recurrence of lip swelling after taking Norflox TZ, similar to your previous reaction to Levofloxacin, suggests a possible allergy or hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics; it's essential to consult your doctor or an allergist to discuss the reactions and determine the best course of action for future antibiotic treatments, as they may recommend alternative antibiotics or allergy testing.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've been having these weird internal vibrations, mostly in my legs. It's almost like there's electricity running through them. I took PPIs for about 46 days, but they didn't help at all. I'm also noticing my muscle mass is just wasting away; my legs, chest, stomach, hands, everything feels soft and kinda loose. I can literally pull at the skin. Besides the vibrations, I'm dealing with weakness, some vision loss, numbness, and difficulty breathing, especially when I'm reading or working. With the lockdowns happening, it's been tough to get help. Can you please help me figure out what this might be and suggest any medications or treatments?

Possible Causes: 1. *Vitamin deficiencies*: Lack of vitamins like B12, magnesium, or potassium can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and internal vibrations. 2. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations. 3. *Hormonal imbalances*: Thyroid disorders, adrenal insufficiency, or hormonal changes can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms. 4. *Medication side effects*: Certain medications, such as those used to treat depression, anxiety, or high blood pressure, can cause muscle weakness, numbness, and vibrations.

I've been noticing that I sometimes exhale hot air and feel a slight burning sensation in my chest. Is this something to worry about? Occasionally, I also feel a bit light-headed. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should get it checked out.

Feeling like you're exhaling hot air with a slight burning sensation in your chest, accompanied by lightheadedness, is not typical. Although it might not be a cause for immediate concern, it's essential to explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Acid reflux_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause stomach acid to flow up into the esophagus, leading to a burning sensation in the chest. 2. _Heartburn_: Similar to acid reflux, heartburn can cause a burning sensation in the chest, especially after eating. 3. _Asthma or COPD_: Respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can cause shortness of breath, wheezing, and a burning sensation in the chest. 4. _Anxiety or panic attacks_: Anxiety or panic attacks can cause rapid breathing, lightheadedness, and a sensation of burning or tightness in the chest. 5. _Other medical conditions_: Certain medical conditions, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or pulmonary embolism, can also cause these symptoms. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when your symptoms occur, how long they last, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid triggers_: If you suspect that certain foods, activities, or situations trigger your symptoms, try to avoid them. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your health. Seek medical attention if you experience: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Severe lightheadedness

I've been experiencing this odd pin-pricking sensation on the left side of my chest for the past couple of days. It's happening now and then, not consistently. I remember having similar pain about three years ago, but it went away on its own back then. Should I be worried this time? What might be causing this sensation?

pin-pricking sensation in the left side of the chest can be unsettling. Given that you've experienced similar pain 3 years ago, which resolved on its own, it's essential to take this incident seriously and explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Costochondritis_: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone can cause sharp, stabbing pains. 2. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained or pulled muscles in the chest wall can lead to pin-pricking sensations. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or stomach ulcers can cause chest pain. 4. _Cardiovascular concerns_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out cardiovascular issues, such as angina or pericarditis. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when the pin-pricking sensation occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities_: Until you've consulted with your doctor, avoid any activities that may exacerbate the discomfort. If you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Pain radiating to your arms, back, or jaw

I've been sleeping with the AC on and now I've caught a cold, cough, and even a mild fever thats been bugging me since yesterday. I want to know if taking Paracetamol would be a wise choice, or should I just wait for it to pass on its own? By the way, I just finished an antibiotic course last week after a tooth extraction.

Given your recent antibiotic course and current symptoms, it's essential to be cautious. Paracetamol can help alleviate your mild fever, cold, and cough symptoms. However, consider the following: _Paracetamol Precautions_ 1. _Dosage_: Take the recommended dose (500-1000 mg) every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Liver health_: Since you've had a recent antibiotic course, your liver might be under stress. Paracetamol can also affect liver function, so monitor your body's response. 3. _Underlying conditions_: If you have any underlying medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, consult your doctor before taking Paracetamol. _Alternative Options_ 1. _Rest and hydration_: Focus on getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated to help your body recover. 2. _Warm liquids_: Drink warm liquids like tea, broth, or soup to help soothe your throat and ease congestion. 3. _Saline nasal sprays_: Use a saline nasal spray to help loosen mucus and reduce congestion. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Fever escalation_: If your fever exceeds 102F (39C) or lasts for more than 3 days. 2. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or severe headache. 3. _Prolonged recovery_: If your symptoms don't improve within 7-10 days.

I've been taking Dulcoflex for about a month now to help with constipation, but I'm noticing some weird side effects.

I often find that when I take medication for colds, I end up dealing with a cough afterwards. Is there a cold medicine that doesn't lead to coughing?

Some cold medications can exacerbate coughing. Look for cold medicines that are labeled as "non-drowsy" or "cough-suppressing." Here are some options: - Medications with acetaminophen (Tylenol) and dextromethorphan (Robitussin) can help alleviate cold symptoms without exacerbating cough. - Medications with diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can also provide relief from cold symptoms and may help suppress cough.

I'm a bit worried about how long my immune system might stay suppressed after taking steroids. I am prediabetic, and I'm on steroids for a condition, but I'm not taking any additional medication for sugar control. Right now, I'm on Metformin 500mg to help avoid any steroid-induced diabetes from my post-covid treatment. I took Methylprednisolone: 16mg for 5 days, 8mg for the next 5 days, and then 4mg for another 5 days. The last steroid dose was on May 5th, and I tested positive for covid on April 13th. It's been about 21 days since I tested negative for covid. How long can I expect my immune system to be affected?

The immune system suppression caused by steroids can last for several months after stopping the medication. In your case, having taken Methylprednisolone for 15 days, with the last dose on May 5th, your immune system may take around 6-12 months to fully recover. However, this timeframe can vary depending on individual factors, such as the dose and duration of steroid use, as well as your overall health.

However, if you're still concerned or have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.

I used to eat really late around 11 pm and go straight to bed. Lately, I've been waking up with my head spinning, sweating a lot, and my whole body feels like it's shivering with pain. One time, I even threw up and after that, I felt normal again. I'm really scared because my blood pressure and sugar levels are all normal. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you experienced a sudden and intense reaction, possibly from low blood sugar or dehydration, even though your BP and sugar levels seem fine. It's good that you felt better after vomiting, but if this continues, it might be worth checking in with a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. Stay hydrated and avoid eating too late.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?

1. *Consult a urologist*: A specialist can evaluate your symptoms and provide a more accurate diagnosis. 2. *Neurological examination*: A neurologist can assess nerve function and sensitivity. 3. *Vascular studies*: Tests like Doppler ultrasound can evaluate blood flow to the genital area. *Treatment* 1. *Adjust medications*: Consult your doctor about adjusting or changing medications that might be contributing to the symptom. 2. *Warm compresses*: Applying warm compresses to the area may help alleviate the chillness sensation. 3. *Hydration*: Continue drinking plenty of water, as you've noticed it helps alleviate the symptom. 4. *Stress management*: Engage in stress-reducing activities, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 5. *Counseling*: Consider consulting a therapist or counselor to address any underlying psychological factors. *Next Steps* 1. *Schedule an appointment*: Consult a urologist or your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action. 2. *Keep a symptom journal*: Track when the sensation occurs, its duration, and any potential triggers. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Continue drinking plenty of water to help alleviate the symptom.

I've been wondering if there's any medication or supplement that might help me increase my height. I'm currently 55 inches tall and 21 years old, and I'm hoping to grow about 12 inches. Is this possible, and do you have any advice or recommendations?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 59 and has been having trouble getting a good night's sleep. He was given Alprax 0.25 by the doctor, and he's supposed to take half of that, 0.125mg, each night for 10 days, then stop. He's only taken it for two days so far, but he's already thinking about quitting it now. Is it safe for him to just stop taking it? I'm really concerned about possible withdrawal symptoms like seizures. Can you give some advice on this?

Your dad can stop taking Alprax 0.125mg after just 2 days without significant risk of severe withdrawal symptoms like seizures, as the duration of use was short and the dose was low, but he may still experience mild symptoms like anxiety or insomnia, which should resolve on their own within a few days.

I'm a bit concerned about my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) results. I recently got tested, and my ESR came back at 27 mmhr, which I hear is 7 mmhr above the normal range for males. Should I be worried about this higher rate? And what could cause my ESR to be elevated like this? Would love some clarity.

Hi Chaithan, An ESR of 27 mmhr is slightly elevated but not necessarily a cause for concern. It can increase due to mild inflammation, infection, stress, or other temporary factors. If youre feeling unwell or have symptoms, its best to consult your doctor for further evaluation. Take care!

I'm really confused about something. I was dealing with severe weakness and muscle pain, so I got tests done for vitamin B12 and vitamin D. My vitamin D level came back at 10, and my vitamin B12 was 176. After that, I took injections for both vitamins and started taking B12 tablets every night, plus the Uprise tablets for vitamin D every week. But after just 4 days, I got tested again, and my vitamin B12 level shot up to over 2000, while my vitamin D went up to 17. Is it normal for levels to change that quickly? What could be going on?

I'm feeling really weak ever since I had typhoid, and I was wondering if it's okay to take Dexorange and Betonin together to help with that. Can you let me know if this combination is safe or if there are any side effects I should be worried about?

To overcome weakness after typhoid, focus on nutrient-rich foods, hydration, and rest, and consider supplements like Dexorange (iron and vitamins) and Betonin (B-complex vitamins) under medical guidance, but take them separately, as combining may lead to excessive vitamin intake.

I'm struggling with some really bad hunger pains. My stomach just keeps cramping and contracting, and I can't stop eating because it seems like the only way to make the cramps go away. It honestly feels like I'm hungry all the time. What could be causing this?

Experiencing persistent hunger and stomach cramps can be distressing. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Causes* 1. *Low Blood Sugar*: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can trigger hunger and stomach cramps. 2. *Hormonal Imbalance*: Hormones like ghrelin and leptin regulate hunger and fullness. Imbalances can lead to increased hunger. 3. *Nutrient Deficiencies*: Lack of essential nutrients like protein, healthy fats, and fiber can cause hunger and cravings. 4. *Stress and Emotional Eating*: Stress can trigger hunger and emotional eating. *Suggestions* 1. *Eat Regular Meals*: Space out meals to maintain stable blood sugar levels. 2. *Incorporate Protein and Fiber*: Add protein-rich foods like lean meats, beans, and eggs, and fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 3. *Stay Hydrated*: Sometimes, thirst can masquerade as hunger. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 4. *Manage Stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. 5. *Consult a Healthcare Professional*: If hunger and stomach cramps persist, consult a doctor or registered dietitian to rule out underlying medical conditions.

I've been on Montek LC for about a month to manage my runny nose and allergies. My doctor suggested that I gradually reduce my dosage before stopping completely. Can you give me some guidance on how to taper off Montek LC safely?

Typically, you can gradually reduce the dose over a period of time to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or recurrence of symptoms. For example, if you were taking one tablet daily, you may reduce it to one tablet every other day for a week, then one tablet every two days for another week, and so on until you can safely stop taking the medication. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and not to abruptly stop Montek LC to avoid any adverse effects. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to consult your doctor for further advice.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with loose motion for the past couple of days. I took Metroquin this morning and again tonight, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Is there anything else I should try, or do I need to wait longer for it to work? Also, is there something specific in my diet that I should be avoiding or eating to help with this?

Metroquin is a combination of Metronidazole and Diloxanide. Since the issue persists, I recommend adding a probiotic to help restore the balance of good bacteria in your gut. You can try taking Enterogermina capsule once a day for 3-5 days. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and consider a light diet.

I've been dealing with some stomach and upper abdominal pain for a couple of days now, and there's been a lot of bloating and gas too. I'm starting to worry a bit. Any idea what might be going on?

If you are not having any vomitting or loose motion, it is likely just a case of gastritis or bloating. You can take Pantoprazole 40mg before food for a couple of days, while restricting yourself to a reduced spice diet. You can also consider taking Simethicone for relief from bloating. Avoid lying down immediately after meals and try to eat in smaller quantities with increased frequency, instead of large meals with longer gaps. Keeping yourself physically active for at least 150 minutes per week has great benefits with regards to gut health and peristalsis.

I'm a 50-year-old woman and recently had a blood check-up done. My ESR came back at 60mm, but everything else like renal function, urine routine, and blood tests are normal, and I don't have any other health issues. I'm curious about what could be causing the high ESR. Can you help me understand why it might be elevated?

ESR, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. In your case, since other parameters like renal function, urine routine, and blood counts are normal, a high ESR could be due to various reasons such as infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or certain cancers. Since you have no other health problems or illnesses, it would be advisable to further investigate the underlying cause of the high ESR. I would recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and possibly additional tests to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR. Treatment would depend on the underlying condition identified.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a fever around 5 days ago, and now we've noticed his platelet count is dropping rapidly. It was 100,000, then went down to 70,000 in just a couple of days.

Could you help us understand what's happening?

Platelet count dropping significantly can be concerning. It is important to investigate the underlying cause. Given that your dad is not having Dengue fever, other possible causes could include infections, certain medications, autoimmune disorders, or even bone marrow issues. I would recommend consulting a hematologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, medications like "Wysolone" and "Azoran" may be prescribed to help increase platelet production.

I've recently recovered from COVID-19, tested negative 20 days ago, but I'm still dealing with some mild post-COVID symptoms like headaches and a bit of abdominal discomfort. I've been wondering if it'd be okay to have a couple of small bottles of beer to relax during these tough times. Is it safe to have alcohol now, or should I wait a bit longer?

It is generally advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while recovering from COVID-19 and experiencing post-COVID symptoms. Alcohol can weaken your immune system and may interfere with the recovery process. It is best to focus on staying hydrated, getting adequate rest, and eating a healthy diet to support your body's recovery. If you are experiencing headache and abdominal pain, you can take acetaminophen for headache relief and antacids for abdominal pain. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.

I'm just getting over typhoid fever and I'm wondering about when it might be okay to have a beer again. How long should I wait after recovering before it's safe to drink alcohol?

I'm dealing with IBS and malnutrition, and every year my CBC shows high lymphocytes. This has been the case for the past 10 years, and I'm really wondering why this keeps happening. Could there be a connection between my IBS, malnutrition, and the high lymphocytes? Is this something to be worried about? I'm looking for some advice on whether there's something specific I should be doing or looking into.

The immune system may be activated in response to inflammation or infection in the gut, leading to an increase in lymphocytes. It's important to address the underlying causes of your IBS and malnutrition to help normalize your lymphocyte levels. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Azithromycin and Augmentin are both effective antibiotics. However, Azithromycin is often preferred due to its convenient once daily dosing and shorter treatment duration. I would recommend Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 3 days. This regimen is usually sufficient to treat throat infections caused by bacteria.

I recently did a Dengue test, and my Dengue IGM came back positive, but the Ns1 Antigen and IgG were negative. What does this mean for my health, and what should be my next steps? Should I be concerned?

Since your Dengue IgM test is positive, it indicates a recent infection with the Dengue virus. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. You can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours as needed for fever and body aches. Additionally, you should monitor your platelet count regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any warning signs such as persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or bleeding.

The other night I got pretty drunk and ended up throwing up, but it was this weird black, like coffee ground color vomit. I actually felt okay when I woke up the next morning though. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm currently in my first trimester and have been experiencing a lot of nausea. I've heard about Doxinate, but I'm worried about whether it's really safe to take during this stage of pregnancy. Are there any risks or side effects for the baby that I should be aware of?

Doxinate is a combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine, commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is considered safe to use during the first trimester of pregnancy. Studies have shown that it does not increase the risk of birth defects or other adverse outcomes for the baby. The usual dosage of Doxinate during pregnancy is 1 tablet at bedtime, and if needed, 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the afternoon. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the prescribed amount. Common side effects of Doxinate may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience any concerning side effects, it is important to consult your healthcare provider. Overall, Doxinate can be safely used during the first trimester of pregnancy to help manage nausea, with minimal risk to the baby.

It happens both in class and at home, and makes my underwear get wet, especially at school. I'm really anxious about it. Is this some kind of disease? How can I deal with it?

You may be experiencing a condition called premature ejaculation, where there is an involuntary release of semen from the penis. It is not a disease, but it can be distressing. To treat this, you can consider medications such as SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) like Dapoxetine, which can help delay ejaculation. Additionally, behavioral techniques and therapy can also be beneficial in managing premature ejaculation. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm feeling really weak and tired, and I'm having leg pain after my viral fever. The fever's gone after taking a 5-day course of medication like Dolo 650, Azee 500, and Allegra M. But now, whenever I walk around 200 meters, my legs hurt and I feel exhausted. Why is this happening, and what should I do about it?

To help with your symptoms, you can try taking a combination of B complex vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium. I recommend taking Supradyn multivitamin once daily for a month to help boost your energy levels and support muscle function. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel locally on the painful areas on your legs for relief. Make sure to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. If the symptoms persist, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

You may be experiencing symptoms of dry mouth and oral mucositis. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try using Biotene Oral Balance Gel. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected areas in your mouth 4-5 times a day, especially before bed. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Liv 52 can be beneficial for maintaining a healthy liver, especially if you are a smoker and occasional drinker. The recommended dosage for Liv 52 is usually 1-2 tablets twice daily. It contains natural ingredients that can help protect the liver and improve its function. However, it is important to also quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption to further support your liver health.

It's been about two weeks since I got hit with dengue. I haven't had a fever for the past 4 or 5 days, but I'm feeling extremely weak is this something I should be worried about? I get tired really quickly. Do you think it's necessary to see a doctor about this, and how long do you think it'll take for me to feel like myself again?

It is normal to experience body weakness and fatigue after suffering from dengue fever. This is due to the strain the illness puts on your body. To help with your recovery, make sure you are getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and eating nutritious foods. You can also consider taking Vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system. It may take a few weeks for your body to fully recover and regain its strength. If you continue to feel extremely weak or if your symptoms worsen, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Revital H, once a day to help with your recovery.

Stopping masturbation completely is a personal choice and can have different effects on individuals. It is important to listen to your body and how it responds to the change. If you are feeling fatigued and lazy after masturbating, it may be a sign that your body needs a break from it. It is generally considered safe to stop masturbating completely, as long as it does not cause any physical or emotional distress. However, it is also important to find a balance that works for you. If you are experiencing any discomfort or changes in your physical or mental health, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit tablets and general multivitamin tablets. Which one would you recommend I take to boost my immunity? Also, is there a best time of day to take them for someone who's generally healthy?

For a normal person looking to boost immunity, both Zincovit and a multivitamin tablet can be beneficial. The best time to take these supplements is usually after meals to enhance absorption. Consistency in taking the supplements daily is key to seeing the benefits in the long run. Remember, supplements should not be a substitute for a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. If you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

Should there be any additional precautions or steps we should take? Also, is there anything specific we should keep an eye on after the bite?

In addition to the TT (Tetanus Toxoid) injection, it is recommended to also administer the rabies vaccine after a dog bite, especially if the dog's rabies vaccination status is not known or if it has been more than 5 months since the dog was vaccinated with Nobivac Rabies. The rabies vaccine helps prevent the development of rabies infection. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recommend taking activated charcoal to help absorb any remaining toxins in your system. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter antidiarrheal medication like Imodium for your diarrhea. For the chest pain, you can take ibuprofen for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really worried because my 7-year-old's platelet count just dropped from 172,000 to 130,000 in just a day, and on top of that, their WBC count shot up from 6,400 to 25,000. They're dealing with Dengue right now. Could this be risky? What's the threshold for platelet levels to become dangerous? What should we do?

This rapid change in blood counts indicates a worsening condition. In Dengue fever, a platelet count below 20000 is considered dangerous and requires immediate medical attention. I recommend immediate hospitalization for close monitoring and management. The child may require intravenous fluids, platelet transfusion, and other supportive care as deemed necessary by the healthcare provider. It is important to closely monitor the child's condition and follow the healthcare provider's recommendations for further treatment.

I'm taking an anti-rabies vaccine from a government hospital in India. The schedule is days 0, 3, 7, and 28. I've just completed my third vaccine, and only the last one is left. But, two days after my third shot, the same dog, which is supposed to be vaccinated and looks healthy, licked my hand. Should I start the vaccination schedule from day 0 again? Also, I've heard from a physician that government-provided anti-rabies vaccines are less effective. Is this true? Can you please help me out with this?

There is no need to restart the vaccination schedule. You should still go ahead and take the 4th dose of the vaccine on the scheduled 28th day. Regarding the efficiency of government-provided anti-rabies vaccines, they are generally considered to be effective and safe. It is important to complete the full course of vaccination as prescribed by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies. If you have any concerns about the vaccine's efficacy, you can discuss them with your healthcare provider for further clarification.

I've been on Vitamin D3 and B12 supplements for the last three months, 10000iu and 5000mcg daily. Just got my blood work back, and my GGT level jumped to 111 from under 50. What's going on with that? Should I cut back or stop the vitamins? I'm 50, female, and a bit worried here.

For the elevated GGT level, it is important to address the underlying cause. In your case, since your recent reports have shown a significant increase in GGT levels after starting the Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 supplements, it is advisable to stop taking these supplements for now. Additionally, it would be beneficial to avoid alcohol consumption and maintain a healthy diet. To help reduce your GGT level, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) under brand name Actigall or Urso.

I mistakenly cooked rice with a jandu parad tablet meant for preservation. I didn't eat the tablet itself; it was still whole in the rice, but I did eat the rice that was cooked with it in the same pot. Should I be worried about this? Could cooking it with the rice have any effect?

It is important to seek medical help immediately. The doctor may recommend measures such as inducing vomiting or administering activated charcoal to prevent absorption of the harmful substance. In such cases, it is crucial to act quickly to minimize any potential harm to your health.

I got bitten by a street dog and my wound is just skin peeling without any bleeding. The doctor recommended 3 shots of Rabipur or Verorab, but neither was available at my nearest medical store. The person at the store sent me to a government hospital where they gave me an Abhayrab shot and told me to get 4 more. But I'm worried because the Abhayrab dose seemed really small, like just 0.10.2 ml, using an insulin syringe on each arm, whereas Rabipur seemed like it's almost 1 ml per shot. Is the government hospital giving me too little, and should I switch to Rabipur from Abhayrab? I'm really anxious about this.

The dosage of rabies vaccine can vary depending on the brand and formulation used. Abhayrab is a suitable rabies vaccine and is commonly used in government hospitals. The dosage you received, around 0.1-0.2 ml per shot, is within the standard range for rabies vaccination. It is important to follow the recommended dosage schedule provided by the healthcare provider. If you are concerned about the dosage or considering switching to Rabipur, I recommend discussing this with the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine at the government hospital. They can provide you with more information on the dosage regimen and address any concerns you may have. It is important to complete the full course of rabies vaccination as advised by the healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.

I'm currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?

No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.

I'm going through a rough patch right nowI have typhoid, and my monocytes count is showing up as zero. Should I be worried about this? Is there something serious going on? And if it is, what kind of medications should I be considering to address it? Also, I'm curious about what foods might help in boosting my monocytes count. Are there any specific tests I should get done? I'd really appreciate a quick replyI'm getting quite anxious about the whole situation.

Having a zero monocyte count can be a concerning finding, as monocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in fighting infections. In the context of typhoid fever, a zero monocyte count may indicate severe infection or bone marrow suppression. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed that my body temperature rises in the evening for an hour or so, then goes back to normal. It's not really a fever, just higher than it should be. I recently found out I have Microcytic anemia. Could there be a connection between the two? I could really use some guidance.

Elevated body temperature in the evening could be related to your Microcytic anemia. It is known that anemia can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever or increased body temperature. I recommend taking a fever reducer like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed to help with the elevated temperature. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm really concerned about my husband. He had a fever and his platelet count was really low, so the doctor first thought he had a viral fever. After some medication, his platelets went up, but when we checked again a week later, they dropped again. They suggested we test for HIV, and we found out that HIV 1 came back reactive, but HIV 2 was non-reactive. They did a rapid ELISA test too. Does this mean he really has HIV? And can we still consider having a baby?

The reactive result for HIV-1 on the rapid ELISA test indicates a positive result for HIV-1 infection. However, the non-reactive result for HIV-2 suggests that HIV-2 infection is not present. It is important to confirm these results with further testing such as Western blot or PCR for HIV-1. Regarding having a baby, it is still possible to have a baby if one partner is HIV positive. With proper medical care and treatment, the risk of transmission of HIV to the baby can be significantly reduced. It is important for both partners to consult with a healthcare provider specializing in HIV care to discuss options such as antiretroviral therapy and other measures to reduce the risk of transmission during conception and pregnancy.

I've noticed a white lump between my anus and vagina. It's not painful, but it's kind of hard and seems like it has a little opening on it. Could you help me understand what this might be and if it's something I should be worried about?

You may have a Bartholin's cyst. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the discomfort and swelling. You can also use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. If the cyst becomes infected, antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin may be prescribed. If the cyst is large or causing significant symptoms, surgical drainage or removal may be necessary.

I'm a bit worried because Ive been taking vitamin B12 injections and supplements due to a deficiency. Initially, my B12 level was 212, but now its shot up to 2000 in my latest lab test. Is having a vitamin B12 level that high dangerous, and how can I bring it down quickly? Sometimes I feel my body shakingcould that be because my B12 levels are too high?

Having a vitamin B12 level above 2000 is considered high, and it may lead to symptoms such as body shaking. To reduce the high level of vitamin B12 quickly, you should stop taking any B12 supplements or injections and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance. They may recommend adjusting your dosage or frequency of B12 intake. In the meantime, you can focus on a diet that is low in vitamin B12-rich foods such as meat, fish, and dairy products. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm experiencing a cold throat infection and fever almost every month and have been taking Azithromycin 500 along with Nicip Cold n Flu and Combiflam for the past five days. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Should I continue with these medications or try something else?

I recommend continuing with Azithromycin 500mg as prescribed by your doctor. You can also continue taking Nicip Cold n Flu for relief from cold symptoms. However, it is important to note that frequent use of Combiflam (ibuprofen) is not recommended as it can have side effects on the stomach and kidneys. Instead, you can consider taking paracetamol alone for fever and body aches. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your recurrent infections.

Grade 2 fatty liver can be reversible with lifestyle changes. You should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight loss if needed. Avoiding alcohol is important.

I've been having these intense cravings to eat slate pencils during my pregnancy, and it's getting hard to ignore. I'm really concerned and want to stop this habit. Can you suggest any ways to help me overcome these cravings?

This condition is known as pica, and it is important to address it for the health of both you and your baby. To help curb this craving, you can try taking iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate or Folic Acid supplements like Folvite. These supplements can help address any nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your cravings. Additionally, you can try snacking on healthy alternatives like fruits, nuts, or seeds to help distract yourself from the craving. It is also important to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support your overall health during pregnancy.

I'm worried about my 12-year-old brother. He's been saying that when he's watching TV and sees a female actor, some sticky stuff comes out of his penis without him doing anything. He also masturbates every day. Is this some kind of side effect from masturbation, or is it a normal thing for boys his age?

Your brother is experiencing premature ejaculation, which can be triggered by sexual arousal such as when watching TV. Masturbating daily at his age is also quite common. To help with premature ejaculation, he can try using a topical anesthetic cream like lidocaine cream applied to the penis before intercourse. Additionally, practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique during masturbation can also help. If the issue persists, he may consider seeing a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm thinking about starting Liv52, but I'm not quite sure when the best time of day is to take it. Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of? Just trying to make sure I'm doing everything right for my health.

Liv-52 should be taken twice a day, preferably after meals. It is recommended to take it for at least 6-8 weeks to see its full benefits. Liv-52 is generally safe for most people when taken as directed. However, some rare side effects may include upset stomach or allergic reactions. If you experience any unusual symptoms, please discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

For Vitamin D deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements such as "Caltrate" or "Nature Made Vitamin D3". For Vitamin B12 deficiency, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements such as "Nature Made Vitamin B12" or "Solgar Methylcobalamin". It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper dosage and duration of supplementation.

I'm dealing with a constant fever that hovers around 99 to 100 degrees and it's been more than a month now. I've had all the tests done and the only thing that came up was a slight liver enlargement. Besides that, I'm really struggling with weakness, headaches, body aches, dizziness, lower abdomen pain, and severe leg pain. Could you please offer some advice on what's going on and what steps I should take next?

Since no specific cause has been identified in the reports, it is important to consider a broad differential diagnosis. Given your symptoms and the presence of liver enlargement, it may be helpful to consider a trial of antipyretic medication such as Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for fever and pain relief. Additionally, ensuring an adequate intake of fluids and rest is important for recovery. It is also recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management, as persistent symptoms warrant a thorough assessment to rule out any underlying conditions that may require specific treatment.

Hey, so I've got hypothyroidism and I'm on levothyroxine, taking 100mcg a day. I've been wondering about what might happen if I accidentally took 2 or 3 pills one day. Is there a risk of something really serious happening, like dying from taking too much? I get a bit anxious because sometimes I forget if I've already taken my dose for the day, and I've always been curious about just how dangerous it is like, how much would it take for it to be really harmful?

Taking more than the prescribed dose of levothyroxine can lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as palpitations, weight loss, and irritability. In severe cases, it can lead to complications like cardiac arrhythmias or osteoporosis. However, it is unlikely to be fatal unless extremely high doses are ingested. It is important to take your medication as prescribed and if you are unsure whether you have taken your dose for the day, it is best to skip it rather than double or triple the dose. If you are frequently forgetting whether you have taken your medication, you may want to consider using a pill organizer to help keep track.

I'm a bit worried about my recent lab results. My neutrophils are low at 46 and my lymphocytes are a bit high at 50. My ferritin is really low at 16 ngml, but my H. Pylori IgG and IgA are negative. Should I be concerned about the low ferritin or the imbalance between my neutrophils and lymphocytes? Everything else like WBC, RBC, and platelets is normal, but I'm not sure about these few things. Can you help me understand what these mean for my health?

Since your H.Pylori IgG and IgA tests are negative, there is no evidence of an active H.Pylori infection. Overall, your results indicate a mild imbalance in your immune cell counts, but nothing alarming. It would be advisable to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if needed.

I'm really worried because I've had a fever on and off for a week, and I've been taking Dolo 650 and the Taxim antibiotic intermittently as prescribed by my doctor. He suggested I get another platelet test done, but since my last test was just under 24 hours ago, I was told I need to wait 24 hours before doing it again. For the last couple of days, I've been taking the meds continuously, and while I do feel a bit better, I'm not fully recovered. My body aches and my fever's hovering around 101. Could this possibly be dengue?

Considering your symptoms and the need for another platelet test, it is important to continue monitoring your condition closely. In case of suspected dengue fever, it is recommended to maintain hydration and rest. Additionally, you can consider taking Paracetamol 500mg for fever and body pain relief. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Dettol liquid can be harmful and may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and irritation of the mouth and throat. In severe cases, it can lead to chemical burns, difficulty breathing, and damage to internal organs. If someone has ingested Dettol liquid, it is important to seek medical help immediately.

I'm a bit concerned because my TSH level came back at 7.5 and my doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 12.5. Is this the right approach for my condition? Also, I'm a little confused about whether this means I have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Could you help clarify this for me?

Based on your TSH level of 7.5, the doctor's prescription of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is appropriate. This medication is used to treat Hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Thyronorm helps to supplement the low levels of thyroid hormone in your body. The dosage of Thyronorm 12.5 tablets is suitable for managing your hypothyroidism

I'm really worried because I've been having a high fever between 102 and 104. I've been taking Dolo 650 three times a day to bring it down, but the fever keeps coming back with a lot of shivering. I delivered about six weeks ago and had an episiotomy, and I'm still dealing with a lot of stitches pain. Is taking Dolo 650 six times in two days too much? I'm also having a lot of lower back pain, back pain, headache, and neck nerve pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Seems like you are experiencing postpartum fever and pain after episiotomy. The fever may be due to an infection related to the delivery. I recommend you to consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can continue taking Dolo 650 for fever, but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a bit confused because I was diagnosed with typhoid through a blood test, but I haven't really felt sick or had any symptoms like a fever. The only thing I've noticed is some weight loss, which is what led me to get tested in the first place and they found typhoid. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink milk while I'm dealing with this? Do you have any advice on what kind of diet I should follow? I've already started taking the typhoid medication.

During typhoid, it is important to follow a specific diet to aid in your recovery. You can drink milk during typhoid, but it is recommended to consume pasteurized milk to avoid any risk of contamination. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid raw fruits and vegetables, as well as spicy and oily foods. As for your diet during typhoid, you should focus on easily digestible foods such as boiled or steamed vegetables, soups, broths, porridge, and yogurt. It is essential to stay hydrated, so make sure to drink plenty of water and clear fluids. Since you have started taking typhoid medicines, it is crucial to complete the full course as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Some common antibiotics used to treat typhoid include Ciprofloxacin, Azithromycin, and Ceftriaxone. Make sure to take the medication as directed and finish the entire course even if you start feeling better. Remember to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activities during your recovery period. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really anxious after getting my X-ray results back. It mentions bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings, and I'm not sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you help explain what it indicates or what might cause it?

Bilateral prominent perihilar lung markings on an x-ray typically indicate an increased density or prominence of blood vessels and lymphatic channels around the central part of the lungs. This can be a normal variant in some cases, but it can also be seen in conditions such as pulmonary congestion, infections, or inflammation. Treatment would depend on the underlying cause. If you are experiencing symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a cold, cough, and fever about 10 to 15 days ago. Now, even though my body still feels hot, there's no fever when I use a thermometer. I'm also experiencing a bit of weakness. Any idea what these symptoms could mean? What medication could help prevent or cure this?

These symptoms could be related to a post-viral syndrome, where your body is still recovering from the previous cold, cough, and fever. The feeling of body heat without an actual fever could be due to residual inflammation or immune response. The slight weakness may also be a lingering effect of the previous illness. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Paracetamol (brand name: Tylenol) for any discomfort or perceived feverishness. Additionally, you may benefit from over-the-counter cough syrups like Dextromethorphan (brand name: Robitussin) for any lingering cough. Make sure to get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and eat nutritious foods to support your body's recovery.

Masturbation does not have any direct impact on your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and overall health. If you are concerned about your height, I recommend focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep to support your growth.

I recently got bitten by a street dog, which left a scratch without any bleeding. I quickly rinsed it with tap water for about 10 or 30 seconds and then got the intradermal antirabies vaccine around 45 minutes later. I'm a bit concerned about a few things. Could I still be at risk for rabies since I didn't wash the bite with soap for a full 15 minutes? Also, is there a chance my family could catch rabies just from washing dishes in the same spot where I cleaned my leg? I'm worried because I noticed the hospital might not have kept the vaccine cold the entire time I mean, they took it out in the morning and used it throughout the day, and I got my first dose around 4:30. For the second dose, they did get it right from storage, but the cool box was always open. Is there a possibility that this could affect how well the vaccine works and my chances of getting rabies?

For a scratch without bleeding from a street dog bite, washing the site with running tap water for 10-30 seconds is a good first aid measure. The risk of rabies transmission through such a scratch is very low. However, to be safe, you received the intradermal antirabies vaccine, which is the appropriate course of action to prevent rabies infection. Rabies is not transmitted through objects like utensils. The virus is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. Washing utensils where you washed the bitten site does not pose a risk of rabies transmission to your family members. The rabies vaccine is sensitive to temperature and must be stored properly to maintain its effectiveness. If the vaccine was not stored correctly, there is a risk that its potency may have been compromised. However, receiving the vaccine doses as you described (45 minutes after the bite and on the fourth day) is still beneficial in preventing rabies infection. It is important to complete the full course of the vaccine as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure protection against rabies.

I'm a bit concerned because my blood test showed high lymphocytes, exactly 42.1. Should I be worried about any health issues down the line? What steps can I take now to make sure everything stays in check?

High lymphocytes in the blood can indicate an infection, inflammation, or a response to stress. To address this issue and prevent any potential health issues in the future, it is important to determine the underlying cause of the elevated lymphocytes. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) for any discomfort, and ensure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I'm worried about these blood clots in both my arms after the doctor had to prick them for a blood test. It's been pretty tough to find a vein, and now the arm that got pricked several times is bruised, tender, and moving it is painful. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything I should do to help it heal or ease the pain?

To help with the blood clot and bruising, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the bruised area can help with swelling. To promote healing and reduce tenderness, you can also apply a warm compress to the area. If the pain and bruising persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your doctor.

I'm also dealing with a sore throat alongside a coughing issue that's not going away. Could you suggest what might be going on or what I should do about it?

To help with the pain in your throat and chest, as well as the sore throat and coughing, I recommend you try using lozenges containing benzocaine for throat pain relief. Additionally, you can use cough syrup containing dextromethorphan to help with the cough. It is important to reduce or quit smoking to improve your symptoms and overall health.

If you are experiencing severe headaches as a side effect of Niftas, you should inform your doctor. They may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication such as Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim (TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole) to treat your UTI without causing severe headaches.

I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've been dealing with a dry cough for over two weeks now, and I'm really not sure what I should do next. For the last five days, I've been taking a spoon of Benadryl before bed, and while it seems to help with the cough for the first half of the next day, it comes back around 3 PM. I've also tried putting eucalyptus oil and Vicks on my chest at night, but I haven't really noticed much of a difference. Just recently, my mom started giving me this homemade herbal mix that I think has ginger and honey, along with turmeric milk, and it seems to be helping somewhat. Generally, I'm pretty active and into sports and running, and I haven't felt any drop in my energy or stamina because of the cough. It's just really starting to get on my nerves and I'm getting a bit worried. Could you share any ideas or solutions for what's going on with me?

It's good to hear that the homemade herbs mixture with ginger, honey, and turmeric milk is providing some relief. To further address your dry cough, I recommend trying Robitussin DM (Dextromethorphan and Guaifenesin) syrup. You can take 10ml of Robitussin DM every 4-6 hours as needed to suppress the cough and help loosen mucus. Additionally, you can continue with the Benadryl at night for its antitussive effects. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants such as smoke or strong odors. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He just spent the past week dealing with a bad cough, cold, and viral fever, and his temperature even got up to 102.4 degrees. Now hes feeling super weak, dizzy, and a bit nauseous. What should we do about this?

Your father's symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and nausea could be due to post-viral fatigue. To help him feel better, he can take Paracetamol for fever and body aches. He can also take Ondansetron for nausea. Additionally, it is important for him to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If his symptoms persist or worsen, he should seek medical attention.

I'm pretty worried about my cousin. A couple of years ago, she was slow poisoned but somehow managed to recover from all the health problems without any major issues. I'm really concerned about her future, though. I've heard that someone who's slow poisoned might only live for around 10 years. Is that true? She's 35 now, and I just want to make sure I can support her in the best way possible. What should we expect going forward?

It's important to monitor her health regularly and address any new symptoms or concerns that may arise. Encouraging her to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can also support her overall well-being. If she experiences any unusual symptoms or health issues, it's important for her to seek medical attention promptly. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help ensure that she receives appropriate care and monitoring.

I've noticed my SGOT is at 93 and SGPT is at 89, and it's got me a bit worried. What can I do to bring these levels down to a healthier range? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Elevated SGOT and SGPT levels indicate liver damage or inflammation. To help reduce these levels, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid.

I'm really struggling with a strong craving to eat raw rice, and I find myself doing it a lot. I've noticed that I've put on weight because of this, and I really want to stop. Could this be happening because I'm lacking something in my diet? What can I do to overcome this craving?

Eating raw rice excessively, a condition known as pica, can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. To address this issue, you can start taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating iron-rich foods in your diet like spinach, red meat, and fortified cereals can help. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of your condition.

I'm alone with my father-in-law since my husband is out of town. He has an enlarged prostate, and I'm worried because he doesn't sleep well at night. I thought about giving him Avil 25, but I read online that it's not safe for someone with an enlarged prostate. I'm really concerned about what I should do. Do you think it's okay to give him this medication, or should I consider something else? Please let me know what would be best.

Avil (Pheniramine) should be used with caution in patients with prostate enlargement due to its potential to worsen urinary retention. It would be best to avoid giving Avil 25 to your father-in-law without consulting a healthcare professional. Instead, you can try non-medical interventions to help him sleep, such as creating a calming bedtime routine, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine close to bedtime. If his sleep troubles persist, it would be advisable to seek medical advice for a more suitable sleep aid.

I'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?

If you have received a tetanus shot today and then sustain an injury, you typically do not need another tetanus shot unless it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus vaccination. In that case, you may need a tetanus booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. The recommended vaccine for tetanus booster is Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) and the usual adult dosage is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.

I'm a 40-year-old woman, and last week I had a viral fever. I had a CBC blood test afterward, and my ESR level is 36. I've also been experiencing frequent headaches. Could this be related to my ESR level being higher? Are there any specific foods or diets I could follow to help reduce the ESR level?

Elevated ESR can be a non-specific indicator of inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons including infections, autoimmune diseases, and other inflammatory conditions. In your case, the viral fever you had could have contributed to the elevated ESR level. However, it is important to investigate further to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR and your persistent headaches. To help reduce inflammation in the body and potentially lower ESR levels, you can consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. These include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish like salmon), fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (such as berries, spinach, and kale), nuts and seeds, and whole grains. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed foods and excessive sugar intake can also help in reducing inflammation. For your persistent headaches, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried because my SGPT level is 137. I need to get it down in the next 6 days. I've never smoked or drank alcohol, and I've never had jaundice before. What could be causing this, and what can I do to lower it quickly?

To lower your SGPT level within 6 days, you can start by taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) with a healthcare provider's guidance. Additionally, you can take Silymarin (Milk Thistle). It is also important to follow a low-fat diet, avoid processed foods, and drink plenty of water to help improve your liver function.

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit confused. It mentions Salmonella typhi O at 140 dilutions, Salmonella typhi H at 120 dilutions, and similarly for Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 120 dilutions. Is this indicating a typhoid infection? Also, what kind of diet should I follow if it is? I could really use some guidance here.

The Widal test report you have provided shows positive results for Salmonella typhi O at 1:40 dilution and Salmonella typhi H at 1:20 dilution, indicating a possible typhoid fever infection. The presence of these antibodies suggests exposure to the bacteria causing typhoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, antibiotics are usually prescribed. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin. A diet rich in fluids, including water, broth, and oral rehydration solutions, is recommended. You can also include soft, bland foods such as boiled vegetables, rice, and yogurt. Avoid spicy, fried, and heavy foods that may irritate your stomach. Remember to rest adequately and follow your doctor's advice for a full recovery.

I'm trying to understand how I should take albendazole for deworming as an adult. Do I just need a single dose, or is it better to take two doses? And if it's two doses, how many days apart should I take them?

To take albendazole for deworming in adults, you typically only need a single dose. The usual recommended dosage for albendazole in adults is 400mg as a single dose. It is important to take the medication at night, preferably with food, to increase its absorption and effectiveness.

I'm dealing with a 99-degree fever after having typhoid for two months. Even though Ive recovered from typhoid, this mild fever still lingers. My fever panel results are normal and my chest X-ray looks fine. What additional tests should I consider to figure out what's causing this fever?

To further investigate the cause of your persistent low-grade fever after recovering from typhoid, I would recommend the following tests. Blood culture to check for any bacterial infection. Urine culture to rule out urinary tract infection. Widal test to ensure complete recovery from typhoid. Dengue NS1 antigen test to rule out dengue fever. Malaria antigen test to rule out malaria. Typhidot test for typhoid fever. Liver function tests to assess liver health post-typhoid. Complete blood count (CBC) to check for any underlying infection or inflammation. Serology tests for other viral infections like hepatitis. Thyroid function tests to rule out thyroid disorders causing fever These tests will help in identifying the underlying cause of your persistent fever and guide further treatment.

Im dealing with a fever, cold, and sore throat. I'm wondering if I can take Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P for this. Are there any side effects I should worry about?

Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Paracetamol, which is primarily used for abdominal pain and cramps. It is not recommended for treating fever, cold, or sore throat. Meftal P, on the other hand, contains Paracetamol as the active ingredient, which is commonly used to reduce fever and relieve pain. It would be more suitable for your symptoms. Taking Meftal Spas instead of Meftal P may not effectively address your current symptoms and could potentially lead to inadequate treatment. It is important to use the appropriate medication for your specific condition to avoid any complications.

I'm worried about dengue spreading between people. If my wife has dengue and we kiss, could I get infected too?

Dengue is primarily spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It is not spread through direct person-to-person contact such as kissing. However, it is important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, especially if your wife has dengue. You can use mosquito repellents containing DEET, wear long-sleeved clothing, and use mosquito nets to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. If you develop symptoms of dengue such as high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds, bleeding gums), you should seek medical attention.

I finished my rabies vaccination series back in February, but I just got bitten by a dog in April. Should I get a booster shot now, or am I still protected? How long does the vaccine's protection last?

If you have completed a full course of rabies vaccination, you may not need a booster dose after a recent dog bite. The rabies vaccine provides long-lasting immunity, typically lasting for up to 2 years or more. However, in case of a high-risk exposure like a bite from a potentially rabid animal, a healthcare provider may recommend a booster dose as a precaution. It is important to seek medical advice promptly in such situations.

The high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in your blood could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. Given your low hemoglobin level and vitamin D deficiency, it is important to address these issues as well. To help reduce inflammation and lower your ESR, you can take Ibuprofen for a few days. Additionally, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your conditions.

I'm a bit confused about my Widal test results. The numbers are 120, 140, 180, 160, and 1320O with an "H," "AH," and "BH" noted. The interpretation says "not conclusive," so I'm not sure if this means the test is positive or negative. Could you explain what I should understand from this?

The interpretation is not conclusive for a diagnosis of typhoid fever. Further investigations and clinical correlation are needed to confirm the diagnosis. For now, it is recommended to maintain proper hydration and nutrition, get adequate rest, monitor for symptoms such as high fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking at my Widal test results and I'm a bit anxious about what they mean. The report shows Salmonella typhi O at 120 and Salmonella typhi H also at 120, but Salmonella paratyphi Ha and Hb are both NIL. Could you help me understand if this indicates a typhoid infection?

Based on your Widal test report, the results for Salmonella typhi O and Salmonella typhi H are both 1:20, which indicates a possible typhoid infection. The presence of Salmonella typhi O and Salmonella typhi H antibodies at a titer of 1:20 suggests an active infection with Salmonella typhi, the bacteria responsible for causing typhoid fever. However, the absence of antibodies against Salmonella paratyphi H(a) and Salmonella paratyphi H(b) indicates no current infection with Paratyphoid fever. To treat typhoid fever, you can take antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully treated. Additionally, make sure to stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest to support your recovery.

I'm getting a bit worried because my body temperature tends to climb up to 99-100 degrees F in the evenings, and this has been happening for a few weeks now. Alongside this, I feel some tiredness in my limbs. I did some blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid, but everything came back normal. What's making me anxious is that I've noticed my immunity seems to be lower lately since I'm catching the flu and other infections more frequently in the last few months. Any insights on what might be going on with me?

Since your blood tests for CBC, Dengue, and Typhoid came back normal, it's important to consider other possibilities. Your symptoms could be indicative of a chronic infection or an underlying inflammatory condition. Given your recurrent infections and fatigue, I would recommend considering a consultation with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter multivitamins to support your immune system.

Duphaston is a brand name for dydrogesterone, which is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. It is commonly prescribed during early pregnancy to support the uterine lining and reduce the risk of miscarriage. It is often recommended for women with a history of recurrent miscarriages or certain hormonal imbalances. In your case, since you have no history of miscarriage or other problems, the use of Duphaston may be a precautionary measure to support a healthy pregnancy.

I'm a 42-year-old guy living in Pune and I've just been told that my platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs. Should I be worried about this? What happens if my platelet count gets even higher? At what point should I start to really worry, like if it goes over 6 lakhs or something like that?

Platelets are blood cells that help with clotting to stop bleeding. A platelet count slightly higher than 5 lakhs is known as thrombocytosis. In some cases, a high platelet count may not cause any symptoms and may be discovered incidentally on a blood test. However, persistently high platelet counts can lead to an increased risk of blood clots. If your platelet count is consistently above 6 lakhs, it may be a cause for concern. It is important to monitor your platelet count regularly and consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. Treatment for high platelet count may involve addressing the underlying condition, such as an infection or inflammation. In your case, since your platelet count is slightly higher than 5 lakhs and you are 42 years old, it is advisable to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management. Regular monitoring of your platelet count and addressing any underlying health issues is important to prevent complications associated with high platelet counts.

I'm a bit concerned about my wife's recent blood test results. Her eosinophil count is 16% and her ESR level is 29. She had a herpes infection two months ago and a food infection about a month before the test. She also took a muscle relaxant nine hours before her fasting blood test. Do these results indicate anything serious? Should we consider getting another blood test after some time?

The elevated eosinophils count and ESR level could be due to the recent infections your wife had. It is known that infections, including herpes and food infections, can cause an increase in eosinophils and ESR levels. Additionally, the muscle relaxant taken before the fasting blood test may have also influenced the results. It is advisable to wait for some time and then repeat the blood test to see if the eosinophils count and ESR level have returned to normal levels. If there are no other concerning symptoms, it is likely that the values will normalize once the infections have resolved and the effects of the muscle relaxant have worn off.

With these test results showing a significant rise in Typhi antibodies, you may be at risk for typhoid fever.

I'm a bit worried because my pet dog just bit me and the wound is bleeding. The dog is up to date with all its vaccinations, but I'm still concerned. Do I really need to go for a rabies shot, or am I safe since the dog is vaccinated?

If your pet dog is fully vaccinated against rabies, the risk of rabies transmission is low. However, it is still recommended to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for any signs of infection. Additionally, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've just had some medical tests done and I'm a bit concerned because my SGOT came back at 92 and SGPT is 202. What do these numbers mean for my health? Are there ways to bring them back to a normal range? Should I be taking any specific medication? I don't have any other symptoms or issues, but would love some guidance.

SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) are enzymes found in the liver. Elevated levels of these enzymes may indicate liver damage or inflammation. To reduce the levels within range, it is important to address the underlying cause. This may involve making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and exercising regularly. In terms of medication, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I got my Widal test results back and I'm kinda worried about them. The report says: Salmonella typhi O Antigen 180, Salmonella typhi H Antigen 180, Salmonella paratyphi AH Antigen 120, and Salmonella paratyphi Bh Antigen 120. Can you tell me if this means I have typhoid?

Based on your Widal test results, the elevated titers of Salmonella typhi O and H antigens suggest a possible typhoid fever infection. I recommend starting a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, ensure adequate hydration and rest for a speedy recovery. Consult with your physician before starting any medication.

I've been having a fever between 100 and 102 that keeps coming back for the past 15 days, along with some body pain. I'm really worried and unsure what to do. Could you give me some advice?

Persistent fever and body pain for 15 days may indicate an underlying infection that needs to be addressed. I recommend taking Tab Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever and body pain. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat nutritious foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a stomach upset and heard that Norflox TZ might help. Is taking one dose per day effective? Could you provide any advice or alternatives? It's quite urgent.

Norflox TZ is a combination medication that contains Norfloxacin and Tinidazole. It is commonly used to treat bacterial infections in the stomach and intestines. The usual recommended dosage for Norflox TZ is one tablet twice a day, taken after meals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition.

I'm feeling like my neck and head are really hot, but I don't have a fever. Everything else seems normal, but this has been happening for about a week now. A little while back, I had dengue fever, but that got better around three weeks ago. Could this be related, or should I be worried about something else?

It sounds like you may be experiencing post-dengue symptoms. The sensation of heat in the neck and head without fever could be due to residual effects of the dengue fever. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for any discomfort. Additionally, ensure you are staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm someone who usually takes Dolo 650 when I'm feeling feverish or have a headache. But I recently heard that it's banned in India. Is it harmful? What are the alternative medications I can take for this?

Dolo 650mg is not banned in India. You can consider taking Crocin 650 mg. It contains paracetamol which is effective for reducing fever and relieving headache. The usual dosage for adults is 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours.

Hey, I'm really confused about something I came across in my test results. It mentions STyphi O 180, and I'm worried whether it indicates typhoid or some other condition. I don't have much knowledge about this, so any clarity you could provide would be super helpful.

S.Typhi O 1:80 refers to a specific blood test result that indicates a possible infection with Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. A titer of 1:80 suggests a moderate level of antibodies against the bacteria in your blood. This result is commonly seen in individuals with typhoid fever. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The recommended treatment for typhoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin, taken for a specific duration under medical supervision.

I'm worried about my lymphocyte count, it's at 56 and my hemoglobin is 14.3. A few months ago, my lymphocyte count was around 50. Should I be concerned about the increase? Any advice would be really helpful.

An increase in lymphocytes can be due to various reasons such as infections, stress, inflammation, or even certain medications. Since your hemoglobin (Hb) level is normal at 14.3, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To address your worries about the high lymphocyte count, I recommend focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress, and staying hydrated. If you have any symptoms such as persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, or enlarged lymph nodes, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking over-the-counter medications like Vitamin C supplements to support your immune system. Additionally, getting regular exercise and ensuring an adequate intake of fruits and vegetables can also help support your overall health.

I'm looking at my Widal test report, and I'm not quite sure how to understand it. It says S. Typhi O and S. Typhi H are 1:80 positive, while S. Para Typhi A and B are both negative. Does this mean my typhoid levels are high, medium, or low? Also, should I be changing anything in terms of my medication or diet and water habits?

Widal Test Report indicates a positive result for S. Typhi O and S. Typhi H, with titers of 1:80 each, suggesting a possible typhoid infection. The S.Para Typhi "AH" and S.Para Typhi "BH" results are negative, ruling out Paratyphoid infection. Since the Malaria Parasite test is negative, it confirms the absence of malaria infection. Based on the Widal Test results, the typhoid infection can be considered as moderate. Common medicines for treating typhoid include antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by a healthcare provider. In addition to medication, it is essential to focus on dietary and lifestyle changes. Patients with typhoid fever should consume a bland diet that is easy to digest, including soups, boiled vegetables, and rice. It is crucial to maintain hydration by drinking plenty of fluids such as water, coconut water, and oral rehydration solutions. Avoiding raw or undercooked food, as well as practicing good hand hygiene, can help prevent further spread of the infection. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of typhoid fever.
