The person concerned might be manifesting a symptom of a past illness. Swollen pharynx and epiglottis may indicate an underlying infection that demands medical care. I recommend that he/she should instantly see an ENT specialist for advice.

Its okay to have difficulty expressing yourself . Communication disorders are common. Speech therapy can improve speech and language skills. Consult a speech-language pathologist for evaluation and treatment. Family support and practice can aid in progress .

why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?
Male | 23
The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

Is it okay to lift weights if I have benign breast lumps?
Female | 20
You can lift weights if you have benign breast lumps. Be careful, though, and pay attention to how your body feels. Benign breast lumps usually aren't dangerous. They can happen because of hormone changes, fibrocystic changes, or cysts. However, heavy lifting might make the lump area uncomfortable or painful. If that happens, stop lifting right away. Talk to your doctor for advice on what to do next.

When I stand up on my right hand side of my groin there is a long bulge, you can only see it when I stand up tho and I’m wondering what this could be. Above that then on the right hand side of my belly there is a very long thinker bulge that goes diagonal I’m not sure if this is related or not. I’ve recently started going to the gym tho so I’m not sure if this would have anything to do with it but it’s not sore or anything it’s just sticking out a lot
Female | 21
It could be a hernia that is causing the bulge you are experiencing on the right side of your groin. It is recommended to see a specialist for a complete examination and an accurate diagnosis.

26 years and have been feeling tired and weak and also my heartbeat is faster
Male | 26
It looks like you could have a condition named anemia. Anemia might give you a sense of being tired, weak and having a fast heartbeat. This may occur when the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. To start feeling better, you might need to consume more iron-rich foods such as spinach and beans. In addition, make sure that you rest enough and stay hydrated. If these signs persist, seek medical attention promptly.

Female | 16
I would suggest you seek the assistance of a gynecologist to address your period abnormalities. It is not advisable to lose weight in 15 days and it is detrimental to health. Healthy weight loss involves adopting a balanced diet and partaking in regular physical activities.

Hello Can you advise me what to do with my test results and interpret them Low iron serum 22 Low folic acid 1.95 Low serum creatinine 0.56 High non hdl 184 High ldl 167
Female | 44
Your iron level in your blood is deficient, possibly causing tiredness and lack of strength. The folic acid measurement is also low, potentially resulting in fatigue and weakened immunity. Additionally, heightened non-HDL and LDL readings could raise the risk of cardiovascular issues. To address this situation, try incorporating more iron-packed and folic acid-rich foods into your diet.

Male | 31
Albendazole is a medicine that usually helps get rid of them. But sometimes you need extra doses to fully banish pinworms. Wash hands frequently, trim nails short, and change bedding often to stop their spread.

To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than you burn. Increase your calorie intake by eating nutrient-dense foods, such as nuts, seeds, and lean proteins. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and aim to get adequate sleep and manage stress levels.
