What Could Be Causing My Persistent Stomach Cramps and Soft Stools?
10 days ago I started having diarrhea and cramps, I couldn’t explain why because I was careful with what I ate. During the first days it was bad I had to wake up early in the morning to go to the toilet. On 7th day I started doing the following: - drinking a lot of mint tea - taking 5 drops of liquid propolis every day - took a teaspoon of cocoa raw once - ate toast and bananas and soup and rice only - no sugar for 2 days - taking one Imodium once a day Now it is the 10th day since I have this problem. Compared to the beginning, I no longer have diarrhea that wakes me up. I only feel the need to go once a day but the stool is still a little too soft. The main issue is the stomach ache and cramps which seem to be stronger than in the beginning. Nauseous in the morning after eating breakfast but didn’t throw up. Otherwise I feel fine - full energy, no weakness, no dehydration. If it’s worth mentioning I have an irregular sleep schedule where I sleep at 4-5 AM and wake up around noon every day (still 7+ hours of sleep) I noticed that before this issue started, I did the following things the day before: - started eating sunflower seeds - started taking vitamin D - ate persimmons for the first time this year - ate Cadbury chocolate for the first time I stopped all of them on my 7th day

A rabid dog was found and taken in captive from the IIT Bombay campus on 16th of March. We visited the campus on 24th March, where my three year old daughter fell down on the street and got a minor scratch on her knee which was covered with her pant. Now is there a possibility that she can get rabies from the virus that could have been on the road surface from the drooling of the animal?
Female | 3
The probability of her catching rabies from a scratch on her knee which occurred because of a fall on the road pavement is very low. While it is advised to consult a pediatrician whenever you have any questions about your child`s health.

Thyroid level high my health issue gastritis and left leg pain breathing problem
Female | 37
High levels of thyroid can be due to symptoms such as gastritis, pain in the left leg, and so on. It is necessary to consult an endocrinologist whether it is for thyroid management or gastritis. The pulmonologist would be crucial in the management of the breathing problems and the primary physician would refer the patient to the relevant specialist.

Female | 8
Chronic sensorineural hearing loss is not yet something that stem cell therapy can offer. The right tackle is an important position in the strength of the offensive line and the success of the offensive group as a whole. The ENT doctor will recommend appropriate treatment plans which would depend on tiling type and cause like hearing aids, cochlear implants etc.

I have sudden extreme itching on my torso when i go from cold area to bit hotter area. Occured twice when i was travelling in cold and then entered mall which was heated. It is very sudden and disappears in 5 -6 mins or until my body cools down again. I am 21 years old . Male
Male | 21
You might have a disease called cold urticaria, that can result in itching, and the development of hives when the skin comes into contact with cold temperatures. Please schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for definitive diagnosis and treatment. During this time, try to keep far from harsh temperature fluctuations and make sure your skin is covered in low temperatures.

Getting mosquito repellent in your eyes by mistake can surely cause eye irritation and redness. Rinse your eyes with cold water for at least 15 minutes long and immediately visit the eye doctor if the symptoms become more extreme.

Hello, I smoked meth today around 4:00pm. Since then, my heart rate has been between 125-150bpm. At 8:00pm, I felt a little bit of anxiety creeping up so I took my prescribed hydroxyzine. At midnight I took my prescribed trazodone for sleep. I’m wondering what I can do to get my heart rate back to baseline and what I can do regarding my sleep. I’m a bit worried from taking the hydroxyzine and trazodone so close together.
Male | 34
If you've recently used meth and are experiencing a high heart rate and anxiety, prioritize staying hydrated and finding a calm environment to relax in. Avoid any further stimulants like caffeine or nicotine. Consult a doctor about taking hydroxyzine and trazodone together, as they can advise on potential risks and interactions.

I am from South Africa and was vaccinated against measles, does that mean I am vaccinated for mumps and rubella?
Female | 26
If you have been vaccinated against measles it doesn't necessarily mean that you are covered against mumps and rubella. Each of measles, mumps, and rubella is a different disease. They each have their vaccine that is necessary for protection. Mumps may make you have swollen glands while rubella can cause a rash and fever. To be entirely safe, make sure that the mumps and rubella vaccinations are received.

HBsAg (ECLIA) Test regarding suggestions
Female | 38
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood. This test is highly sensitive and specific and is the preferred method for the diagnosis of HBsAg infection. An electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) can also be used to detect HBsAg in the blood. This test is less sensitive than ELISA, but it is more specific, meaning it is less likely to give a false positive result.
