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.

We're planning to adopt a child and need to get a medical certificate for the adoption process with CARA. It should say we're not dealing with any chronic illnesses and are fit and healthy. We're wondering, should we go to a general physician or a gynaecologist for this? And what kind of medical tests are usually involved? Would really appreciate any advice.
Clove oil can be quite potent and potentially irritating, especially if used undiluted or in excess. The darkening of your lips and mouth, along with the skin peeling off, suggests a chemical burn or irritation. _Immediate Remedies_ 1. _Stop using clove oil_: Discontinue using clove oil on your gums immediately. 2. _Curd or yogurt_: Continue applying curd or yogurt to the affected area for its cooling and soothing effects. 3. _Aloe vera gel_: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. 4. _Coconut oil_: Gently apply coconut oil to the affected area to help moisturize and protect the skin. 5. _Topical antibiotic cream_: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, like Neosporin or Bacitracin, to the affected area to prevent infection. _Oral Care Alternatives_ 1. _Desensitizing toothpaste_: Switch to a desensitizing toothpaste, like Sensodyne, to help alleviate gum recession. 2. _Saltwater rinse_: Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater several times a day to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the affected area. 2. _Increased redness or swelling_: If the affected area becomes increasingly red, swollen, or inflamed. 3. _Pus or discharge_: If you notice pus or discharge from the affected area. 4. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C).
