Is fever dangerous for my 90-year-old mother surfing?

Patient's Query

My mother surfing with fever..age 90 years

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

At her age, fevers can be a sign of an underlying infection, such as a urinary tract infection or pneumonia. As we age, our immune system weakens, making us more susceptible to infections. In fact, it's essential to monitor her temperature and make sure she stays hydrated. I recommend contacting her physician right away for a proper evaluation. They may want to do some tests to determine the cause of the fever and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Why there was discharge before peing after taking termin injection

Male | 22

Regular pre-pee discharge after terminal injection is common. The shot sometimes aggravates the bladder, which results in this. There is some likelihood that it will also evoke a slight feeling of burning or a soft, dull pain. However, do not panic, as this symptom will normally resolve. Water is necessary to dilute the toxins in your body. If the problem lasts longer or becomes more severe, consult your physician.
