Could lumps on tonsil mean a serious issue?

General Physician
Answered on 30th May '24
There must be concern about the lumps on your tonsil. They might mean an infection, for example, tonsillitis, which will make the throat swell and hurt. Additional signs could be trouble swallowing, fever, and halitosis. Whatever the lumps are, see an ENT specialist to get them treated.

Could stress delay my period after emergency contraception use?
I took emergency contraception on April 13th and I got my normal period on April 26th. This month my period is late. I’m not sure whether this could be due to stress I’ve been worried about my cortisol levels and have been experiencing some associated symptoms like fatigue and nausea but I’m also worried that I could be pregnant
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 30th May '24
If your period is late, it’s okay to worry. Stress can throw off your cycle, causing it to be late or even completely miss it. Feeling tired or throwing up could also be symptoms of stress. If you took the morning-after pill and then got your period, you probably aren’t pregnant. It is better to wait a little longer and see if it comes. If your period still hasn’t shown up, take a test just to be sure.

Why Am I Experiencing Dizziness, Palpitations, and Shortness of Breath?
I am a 15 years old girl I am feeling dizzy, palpitations and not energetic enough Also I am having shortness of breath
Cardiac Surgeon
Answered on 30th May '24
It appears that you might be having symptoms of anemia, a condition that occurs when there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells in the body. This may cause dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Foods high in iron such as spinach can be consumed to help with this problem. If necessary, physicians may also recommend taking iron supplements so as to increase energy levels and the amount of red blood cells.

Why Do I Have Penile Pain and White Veins?
I have penile pain sometimes and i have white vein like structure on my penis glans from more than 2 months
Dermatologist
Answered on 30th May '24
Feeling soreness in your penis’s glans accompanied by white-colored vein-like lines is something that could make you worry but let’s make it simple. This may result from an infection or irritation. It can be either sharp or mild pain and those veins could mean that blood circulation is not enough or there is a problem with the skin there. Maintain hygiene around that place, don’t wear tight clothes on it, and use some nonprescription creams. If it doesn’t go away or it gets worse then you should see a dermatologist.

Why Have I Missed My Period at 18?
Hi there My name is Afiyat Nuha and I am 18 years old, recently I have missed my period bt I can't find a reason for that to happen.What should I do?
Gynecologist
Answered on 30th May '24
Not getting a period is something that can happen for a lot of different reasons and it’s okay if this has happened to you once or twice before. If you are worried about not having a period, some things to think about would be stress levels, weight changes (up or down), diet changes, how much you’ve been exercising lately, and even hormone levels.
During the teenage years it’s common for girls to have irregular periods so don’t worry too much if this is the only time it’s ever happened to you. However, if your periods have always been like clockwork and you happen to be sexually active, then yes—there’s always a chance that you could be pregnant.

Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 30th May '24
Several things can cause this such as infections, food intolerances, or underlying health issues. Since you haven’t been cured completely by any drugs, it’s good to concentrate on your eating habits. You should stay away from spicy or oily meals and go for those that are easy to digest like rice, bananas, and toast. Ensure that you drink a lot of water so as not to be dehydrated and think about including probiotics in your diet to help with gut health. If this problem continues then please seek medical attention from a gastroenterologist.

Gynecologist
Answered on 30th May '24
It appears like you’re having implantation bleeding. This occurs when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus which may cause some light spotting. The drug given supports the pregnancy. In case the spotting persists or becomes heavier, please inform your gynecologist.

Why Do I Have Red Spots on My Foot Arch?
I have got red tiny tiny spots on my arch of the foot
Dermatologist
Answered on 30th May '24
You might be dealing with petechiae– tiny red spots caused by small bleeds under the skin. These can show up when you have been, say, pushing too hard while on the toilet. Certain infections and some meds can also produce them. To get rid of petechiae hang loose, put your feet up often, and wear loose well-fitting shoes. In case these suggestions don’t help or other things are bothering you… get in touch with a dermatologist.

Will vortioxetine benefit OCD, anxiety, and depression better than mirtazapine?
Hi. I suffer from severe OCD, anxiety and depression and I'm on two antidepressants - fluoxetine and mirtazapine. I am wondering about the efficacy of vortioxetine in treating OCD, anxiety and depression and whether replacing mirtazapine with vortioxetine will bring improvement to my mental health. I can't find any information on Google. Both of them are atypical antidepressants. Is vortioxetine superior or inferior to mirtazapine in general? Someone told me that vortioxetine is "very mild" in terms of efficacy. Is that true? Thank you.
Psychiatrist
Answered on 30th May '24
Like mirtazapine, vortioxetine is believed to help with anxiety, depression, and OCD. Some trials have shown vortioxetine may be useful for these conditions. However, everyone reacts to drugs differently. Therefore, you must talk to your doctor about any changes in your medication so that they can find something that will work for you.

Glutathion is it good for men?
Dermatologist
Answered on 30th May '24
Because it helps to protect cells in the body, glutathione is good for men. It’s like a shield that fights off bad stuff which can harm your body. When glutathione is low, you may feel tired and weak. Eating fruits and vegetables can help increase glutathione levels inside your body.

Why am I urinating frequently after drinking Pepsi?
I have drunk 1 glass of Pepsi in afternoon and after that I am frequently doing urination which is hot making painful and I bathed then hotness of urine gone but when I drink water I am frequently urinating .
Urologist
Answered on 30th May '24
If the bladder is irritated, painful and frequent urination can occur. It can also be a symptom of infection if the urine is hot. Bacteria are flushed out by drinking water but this may increase the frequency of urination. I advise that you drink lots of water, avoid soda and see a urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment if the symptoms continue.

You seem to be experiencing a difficult period with white water and belly aches. These signs may show there’s an infection in your reproductive system or your hormones are out of balance.

What is the pimple-like thing on my chest?
Sir there is a pimple like thing in the middle of my chest. When I press it something comes out. What is it? It has been there for a long time.
Trichologist
Answered on 30th May '24
You may have a sebaceous cyst, this occurs when the hair follicle is clogged and oil collects under the skin. It is usually not serious, but it can become infected if left untreated. If it bothers you, it would be best to have a dermatologist remove it safely. To prevent infection, do not try to squeeze it out at home.
