Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

How long should I take qpcal cmd? My doctor prescribed it for 1 month. Can I continue without doctor advise?
Male | 43
Doctors prescribe Qpcal CMD for certain symptoms. Following your doctor's advice about taking medicine is important. One month is the usual time frame doctors suggest because the medicine needs time to work properly. Taking it longer may not always be necessary or safe. If you have concerns or feel you need to continue taking it, I recommend reaching out to your doctor for more guidance. Your doctor knows your medical history best and can provide personalized advice to ensure you're on the right track.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN
Female | 20
In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Female | 21
You want to get fit. Being too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain weight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggies, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for breasts, they come in all shapes and sizes for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?
Male | 25
Three months is generally the wait time before checking if treatment succeeded with a positive TPHA test. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk means interacting with people, so stable health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would help clarify things.

I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean
Female | 30
HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply
Female | 49
Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?
Male | 34
You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.
Female | 33
Periods come on schedule each month, as usual. But sometimes their timing shifts due to stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking tablets to make your period arrive early is unsafe without medical advice - side effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle should run its course. If your period schedule is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endanger your health.

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??
Male | 26
When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

Sir/Madam What's your view on DMIT test? Can I undergo through dmit test?
Female | 18
The Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) uses fingerprint analysis to identify an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and personality traits. It’s a safe and painless test aimed at recognizing personal strengths and preferences, rather than diagnosing medical conditions. While it can be insightful, DMIT is not a substitute for medical exams or treatments. If you’re interested and meet the necessary qualifications, you may consider taking the test, but keep in mind its purpose is for self-awareness, not medical evaluation.

Difference of finger and vein blood test
Female | 19
Blood tests involve two procedures: finger prick or vein draw. The finger prick is simpler and quicker. However, vein drawing gives detailed information. If your symptoms seem mild, a finger prick may suffice. Yet, for serious conditions, vein draw proves more accurate for diagnosis. Ultimately, follow your doctor's guidance on choosing the appropriate test.

Male | 47
You might be talking about ulcers inside the mouth. They can be quite bothersome and take the form of small sores. Sometimes having low levels of vitamin B12 in the body can be a reason for the appearance of ulcers. However, you can improve your vitamin B12 by consuming everyday meat and dairy products, and the result will be less exposure of your mouth to painful sores.
