Why am I contagious with whooping cough and runny nose?

A persistent cough and runny nose could indicate whooping cough, especially if your baby recently had a fever and took antibiotics. Whooping cough is a contagious respiratory infection that causes severe coughing fits. Make sure your child rests, drinks plenty of water, and uses a cool-mist humidifier to ease the cough. Monitor their condition and contact their pediatrician if you have further concerns.

Can Squint After Eye Surgery Be Corrected?

A squint may occur if the eye muscles do not collaborate well. Although your vision is weaker in the affected eye, the correction of squinting will not be complete. One additional option is to use prism glasses or practice some visual exercises to develop dynamic eye movements as well. The best thing would be to follow up all the instructions and updates of your eye doctor who will tell you what is specifically appropriate for your case.

How can I prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex?

If you're worried about pregnancy after unprotected sex, emergency contraception is an option. It works by delaying ovulation, fertilization, or implantation.

What to do if period is late after wedding?

If your period is two days late, don’t panic. It could be due to stress, sudden weight loss, or hormonal changes. If you're sexually active, consider pregnancy as a possibility. Wait a couple more days, and if your period still doesn’t start, take a home pregnancy test to confirm. If late periods become a recurring issue, consult a gynecologist for further guidance.

How to manage severe back pain effectively?

Such pain may happen due to incorrect posture, misuse of heavy objects lifting, or sitting in one place for a long time. You can try some gentle stretches, ice or heat packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary to alleviate the pain. Don't forget to take breaks and move your body to prevent stiffness. But if the pain doesn't diminish or worsen, getting further guidance from an orthopedist is prudent.

Why do I have pimples and high INR after insect bite?

You may have gotten bitten by an insect, which your body doesn't like at all. Sometimes, such bites can result in skin all lumpy and itchy, as you have mentioned. If your PT INR levels are high, it indicates that your blood may take a longer time to clot. You should apply some anti-itch cream on the bite and also visit the physician to do your PT INR check. They could need to adjust your medicine.

Why Are My Penis Frenulum Cells Breaking?

You could be suffering from frenulum breve, which is a scenario where the skin under the penis head is too tight. The frenulum may thus tear or break as a result of sex or even masturbation in such a situation. This injury may be painful, or it may cause bleeding and, sometimes, it may make it hard for the foreskin to be retracted. Persuadables such as gentle stretching exercises or circumcision become apt solutions here. However, in the process of stretching, you have to be extra careful not to cause more harm, and in case of any complications, do not hesitate to seek professional medical help from a dermatologist.

Why do I get non-painful red marks on shoulders?

Your issue might be dermatological, likely due to allergies, skin irritation, or insect bites. Fabrics or detergents used in washing could also be triggers. Try to identify what causes the red marks most often. If you notice a consistent reaction, consider avoiding the drug entirely. Consulting a dermatologist can help diagnose and treat the root cause effectively.

Why Do I Have Unhealthy Tongue with Purple Patches?

Oral lichen planus might often show up as purple and white spots on the surface of the tongue that may or may not include a covering. It might not be infectious, however, it might be very annoying. Due to immune system dysfunction or stress can be a contributing circumstance. Eliminate spicy foods or abrasive brushing to relieve the suffering. Gargling with the help of salt can also be a relief. If you do not experience any alleviation, consult a dentist for a proper check-up and cure.

Could Unprotected Sex While on Cycloreg Lead to Pregnancy?

Regular use of Cycloreg can also delay your cycle. To be certain, taking a pregnancy test is essential.
