Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

View allI got a penicillin shot in my butt this morning, and I'm wondering if smoking marijuana will affect it. Can you help me understand if theres any risk or interaction I should be concerned about?
Smoking marijuana shouldn't directly interfere with the effectiveness of penicillin, but it can affect your immune system and overall health, potentially slowing recovery. It's always best to avoid substances that might impair your body's healing process, especially when you're on antibiotics.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed a few cervical lymph nodes. Earlier today, I experienced a sensation like an insect bite, and now it feels like a lymph node might have burst. Is it possible for a lymph node to actually burst? What could cause that to happen, and what symptoms should I be on the lookout for?
Drinking lemon water before a fasting test is generally not recommended. Here's why: _Fasting Test Requirements_ Fasting tests, such as blood glucose or lipid profile tests, require you to abstain from food and drinks for a specified period, usually 8-12 hours. _Why Avoid Lemon Water?_ 1. _Caloric intake_: Lemon water contains calories, which can break your fast and affect test results. 2. _Blood sugar fluctuations_: Lemon water may cause a slight increase in blood sugar levels, which could impact test results, especially for blood glucose tests. 3. _Acidity_: Lemon water's acidity might stimulate digestion and potentially affect test results. _What to Drink Instead?_ If you're thirsty before a fasting test, you can drink: 1. _Plain water_: Water is calorie-free and won't affect test results. 2. _Black coffee or tea_: These beverages are calorie-free and won't break your fast.
