I took Zerodol and antibiotics, now acid reflux?
You have acid reflux after you finish your medications. The antibiotics might have disturbed your stomach, playing a role in developing acid reflux. To help alleviate your symptoms, avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and sit up straight after eating. You can also consider taking over-the-counter antacids. If the symptoms last, it is better to follow up with a gastroenterologist.

Are there effective remedies for Atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis is a condition when fatty deposits accumulate in your arteries, which in turn, makes it difficult for blood to circulate. Symptoms could be absent for a long time and manifest later. Causes include an unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, high blood pressure, and others. To help, adopt a healthy diet, be physically active, stop smoking, and control your blood pressure. These can be the means of maintaining a healthy heart.

Why does my leg swell when sitting at work?
Your mom may have peripheral edema, which can cause swelling in her legs. For example, sitting still for too long can cause fluid to accumulate in her legs, leading to swelling. This happens because sitting reduces blood circulation. When she's at home and moving around, the swelling reduces because movement helps the fluid flow back up. Encouraging her to take short walks or do leg exercises while at the shop can help reduce the swelling.

Why am I getting rash after changing bodywash?
The tiny rash on your skin could be due to some of the skin’s new body wash ingredients not being compatible with your skin. Try getting back to your old body wash to check if the rash goes away. If it doesn't take a turn for the better or worsens, the best thing is to stop using the new body soap and go for a check-up with a dermatologist for more help.

Should I retest for HIV after 2023 negative result?
If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.

Why Do I Have Vaginal Itching, Soreness, Discharge?
If you have symptoms like itching, soreness, and a different kind of secretion, it could be a yeast infection or a bacterial infection. These viral infections can occur when there are too few beneficial bacteria in the vagina. Avoid using scented products in that area and wear cotton underwear to stay cool and comfortable. You can get over-the-counter yeast infection treatments but for bacterial infections, you need to see a gynecologist for antibiotics.
