I had a sex contact and took Hive test on 25th Jan. Non-reactive (Feb-2) Next test (Feb-28) and LIST test (May-02) Non-reactive - now should I test?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

Hello I'm from Surat can I gain 3inch in hight with the surgery? Do you also have a lon method surgery n how much will it cost?
Male | 31
Once a person has reached their full adult height, there is no surgical procedure or medical intervention to significantly increase it. Limb lengthening surgeries are complex, risky, and typically reserved for medical conditions, not for cosmetic height increase.

Hii doctor I taken the polio drops at age of under 5 but today I take by mistakely at the age of 19 there is any problem Are you unable to sleep properly at night?
Male | 19
Taking polio drops won't hurt as an adult. You might feel a little sick, like an upset stomach or feel like throwing up, but it's okay. Your body is already protected from the drops when you were little. Drink lots of water and rest if you don't feel good. It will go away soon and you'll be fine.

From the reported symptoms, your mom should avail of medical services as soon as possible. She appears to be suffering from a stroke, which if not treated instantly could lead to severe and permanent impairments. An appropriate doctor to consult would be a neurologist or stroke specialist.

Body temperature is increasing day by day
Female | 32
Body temperature shouldn't constantly increase daily. This indicates potential issues. A persistently high temperature signals infection, like flu or urinary tract infection. Sometimes, conditions like hyperthyroidism cause this too. If experiencing this, rest, hydrate, and seek medical evaluation promptly.

My urea level is 40 is it normal or not
Female | 29
A normal range of urea reads 40 mg/dL, which is typically anywhere between 7 and 43 mg/dL. There is no such thing as a full representation of renal function with just one test. If you become alerted to your urea level or kidney function, see a nephrologist for the diagnosis and recommendation.

Hello sir,i want to know before 3 months a dog bite me and i take 3 injections and doesn't take 2 more injections,and after 3 months a new dog bite me what I do please suggest me
Male | 26
Dogs have the potential of infecting you if they bite. Bitten twice by dogs is a matter of concern. When you miss some injections, this could indicate that you are not fully protected. Infections may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the bite area. You must visit your doctor to get a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include additional vaccinations to avert complications.

I drunk 4 sips of alcohol 30 mins after 500 mg paracetamol . But I realised I should not and I stopped. Am I safe?
Male | 37
It's probably not a good idea to drink alcohol after paracetamol. Though nothing terrible will happen if you've only had a few sips, it’s great that you didn’t drink more. Watch out for any nausea, stomachache or dizziness. If you start feeling bad, it’s better to visit a doctor.

Mere sir pain hota hai 24 ghante
Female | 16
It could be because you did not get as much water as needed, were stressed, or watched the screen for hours. Headaches can also result from sleep deprivation or too much noise. If you want to reduce your pain to a minimum, you must turn to a peaceful place to relax and drink water. Also, if it doesn't relieve the situation by then, do consider talking to a Neurologist to sort out the cause and receive an accurate diagnosis.

On 4/3/2024 a little cat scratch me and I complete my vaccination (ARV) by 0,3,7,28 days shedule resently again another cat scratch me on 10/9/2024 and could not get blood may I take another vaccination? And and today's it's the 10th day the cat was still fine and the same cat was also scratch my granny on January 2024 and granny was completely fine and vaccinated, so what should I do doctor?
Female | 20
It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

I am having a sore throat and dry cough and it became more worse when i took the medicine for it i ended up vomiting
Female | 16
Considering your symptoms, you could have a viral infection causing your sore throat and dry cough. But when, after taking the meds, you vomit, you doubt it and stop taking the medicine. You should consult an ENT specialist to start the treatment.

Can I take Moringa tea and still take my hiv drugs at night
Female | 21
Moringa may sometimes interfere with how the body absorbs HIV drugs, potentially reducing their effectiveness. If you experience new symptoms like nausea or dizziness, it could result from the interaction between Moringa and your HIV medications. Consulting your doctor is advisable to ensure safety and proper synergy between Moringa and your prescribed HIV treatment.

Male | 25
The symptoms you have mentioned strongly imply either a systematic iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. The symptoms are fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and other problems. If the injections fail, increasing dietary intake of iron-rich foods like spinach, and lentils, and vitamin B12 sources like eggs, dairy, or fortified cereals is essential. Regularly with consumption of these nutrients, you will feel better.

Recently had 3 blood transfusions during a short stay at the hospital. I have a bruise line on the opposite arm from an iv at the hospital 2 days prior that was in for a few hours. In the other arm, the had the iv for 3 days straight, that vein has hardened a bit. I have been breathing a small amount heavier than when I was released a week ago.
Female | 45
After BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, bruising and vein damage are common. Heavy breathing may indicate low oxygen levels. Check with your doctor regarding your symptoms.
