Asked for Male, 34
34years male I have been diagnosed with mild phylonepritis and uti it's been more than months taken antibiotics courses but still having mild to mild pain on left side and having lower back pain too . What to do
Answered on 1st Nov '24
The left side and lower back pain you are feeling could be linked to infections. Occasionally, these infections develop resistance and need more care. It's essential to drink a sufficient amount of fluids and rest, as well as keep seeing your nephrologist to ensure everything is fine and to determine if a change of treatment is needed.

Answered on 30th Oct '24
Muscle pain can be common for fitness coaches, but this seems different. As a vegetarian, you might have deficiencies in certain nutrients. Get a blood test to check your vitamin levels. It’s best to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .
Answered on 30th Oct '24
Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

I am a burse and while handling patient i come with a patient who is hiv positive and his blood comes to my finger and my adjacent finger is having wound which is about to be healed but not open . So am i at high risk
Answered on 30th Oct '24
HIV is a virus that can be transmitted by blood. Acknowledging the low probability of contagion in your case, because the wound is almost healed. In case you get some symptoms like fever or body aches, then don't be scared it doesn't mean that you have AIDS.
Asked for Male, 24
Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?
Answered on 1st Nov '24
Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

DT injection medicine how much hours alcohol
Answered on 1st Nov '24
If you have a DT injection, it would probably be best if you avoid drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours. It is because drinking alcohol can aggravate the side effects of the injection. Among the potential consequences are redness or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, or feeling tired. To avoid any issues, it's better to wait a day before having alcohol after the DT injection.

I am suffering from nasal allergy for 3 years.It goes away after taking medicine.But it comes back again.Want to get rid of it completely.What to do?
Answered on 1st Nov '24
Nasal allergies can bring along to you some symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. They are mostly caused by things such as dust, pollen, or pet dander. To help you get rid of your allergies entirely, you can first try to avoid triggers as much as possible, keep your living space clean, and consider discussing allergy shots with an allergist to help your body build up a tolerance to the allergens over time.

Throught swelling and cold fever also
Answered on 28th Oct '24
Throat swelling with a cold fever can mean your body is fighting an infection. These symptoms may consist of a sore throat, trouble swallowing, and being tired. Usually, it is caused by viruses, such as the flu. Warm fluids, resting, and perhaps the use of lozenges may be beneficial. If the symptoms are getting worse or persisting for a long time, it is better to consult an ENT specialist to check for any complications.
Asked for Female, 12
My 12 year old daughter weighs 145 pounds but you can’t see it
Answered on 28th Oct '24
It's important to understand that a person's external appearance doesn't always reflect their actual weight. Often, excess weight can be hidden within the body, which may result from a lack of physical activity or consuming unhealthy foods. This hidden weight can lead to issues like fatigue, breathing difficulties, or joint pain. To address this, it's advisable to eat healthy foods, stay active, and consult a doctor for guidance.

I have a son who is 4 yrs he snore so loudly at night what could be the issue
Answered on 28th Oct '24
It is quite common for kids to snore, however, when it is loud, it may be a hint of a health problem. Snoring mainly occurs when the airflow to your son's lungs is obstructed while he is asleep. This condition can occur because of enlarged tonsils or adenoids, allergies, or simply anatomy. Sometimes it may lead to poor quality of sleep. To assist, consider making his room cooler, keeping his bed clean, and if you're worried, talking to a pediatrician.
