Could I have contracted diseases from contaminated medical tools?

Patient's Query

I just did another blood test at a walk-in lab and now I'm spiraling. You know the cotton swabs on sticks they use after removing the needle to stop the bleeding? Well the lab staff had dipped them in alcohol first then put them in a container on the table while drawing blood, and before she could get one to use on me after drawing blood it rolled out of the container onto the table. She still used it on me!!! I'm HATING myself for not stopping her, it was like slow motion to me. What diseases could I have picked up from that cotton swab? She also accidentally spilled some of my blood onto the table and just wiped it up with a napkin. That makes me worry the table may have had previous patients' spills on it and I could have contracted something as the dirty swab came in direct contact with my blood. Obviously I won't be going back to that lab. But what could I have possibly contracted? How serious is this? Could I perhaps do needle-stick protocol testing (1/3/6 months) to give me peace of mind?

Male | 31

Coughs and colds are annoying, especially with high blood pressure. Cofryl syrup is not a good choice since it has some ingredients that might raise your blood pressure. To relieve your cough, you can try warm drinks and rest. But if your cold becomes worse or does not go away, it is better to see a doctor.

Combining ebastine and hyphoral (ketoconazole) twice can be risky. The sum of those two drugs might lead to dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and stomach issues. Refrain from using them together as it can be dangerous. You should consult a general physician before taking any new medications. You should adhere to the instructions of your medications and you should also inform your doctor about all the drugs you are taking.

Hello... I would like a suggestion about how to get rid adominal fat.. My weight is normal, less than 60 kg. The rest of my body has normal shape but my waist circumference is around 90. It looks completely out of place.. I eat healthy and I'm not sedentary.. In the past I was overweight. not a lot. i lost all the excess weight, i even weighed less than normal, around 48, ,50. But no matter how little i weighed, the abdomen was still big, it was smaller when i had that way, but anyway it wasnt normal for weighing little. Then i rached the right healthy weight for me but my abdomen never matched the rest. I dont take any pill that could cause this. I had vitamin d deficiency. I've heard it could cause abdominal fat too. What could I do to change this??

Female | 25

Abdominal fat is normally linked to several factors such as genes, lifestyle and hormones. It is important to get advice from an endocrinologist or nutritionist to help explain the underlying cause of your condition. They will recommend particular weight-loss strategies along with treatment that will suit your needs

Doctor ke pass na jana ho to konsi teblet leni chahiye

Female | 21

Agar aap kisi khas takleef, jaise headaches ya fever se pareshan hain, to OTC pain relievers jaise paracetamol ya ibuprofen le sakte hain. Yeh aapke dard ko kam karne mein madad karte hain. Lekin agar aapki symptoms severe hain ya kuch dinon tak theek nahi hote, toh doctor se milna bohot zaroori hai. Unka assessment aapko sahi treatment aur diagnosis dene mein help karega. Apne health ko underestimate mat karein; kabhi-kabhi professional guidance lena behad faydemand hota hai.
