Can I catch TB if hugged by someone infected?
A strange lady hugged me and she has tb would I get infected . I had my mask on and I'm so worried
General Physician
Answered on 15th July '24
If you were wearing a mask, it's good protection. TB is not as simple as that which is particularly followed by a brief hug. Coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fever are the main symptoms. It spreads through the air, thus, masking is the smart thing to do.

Why do I have severe headache and my eyeballs hurts alot when I got sad or tension?
Female | 31
These are the signs of a tension headache. These are the types of headaches that are due to muscle tension in the back of the neck and the scalp, which can be treated with relaxation methods, over-the-counter pain relievers, and stress management to relieve the pain. If the symptoms are persistent or they worsen, you should meet with the professional neurologist for further evaluation and treatment.

On 4/3/2024 a little cat scratch me and I complete my vaccination (ARV) by 0,3,7,28 days shedule resently again another cat scratch me on 10/9/2024 and could not get blood may I take another vaccination? And and today's it's the 10th day the cat was still fine and the same cat was also scratch my granny on January 2024 and granny was completely fine and vaccinated, so what should I do doctor?
Female | 20
It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

I got into a car crash back in April 2022 when I was 17. I took my eyes off the road. I was fiddling with the car radio, my head was turned towards the right and I crash the passenger side of my car into a telephone pole and all the airbags deployed. I didn’t get any facial or body injuries. I got diagnosed with bilateral tinnitus from an ENT doctor but they didn’t find any damage when they did a physical examination. I did a hearing test and I have a little bit of hearing loss. Based on my hearing test is my tinnitus permanent or temporary?
Male | 19
As an expert in the medical field, I suggest that you should see an audiologist for further examination of your tinnitus. Tinnitus could result from diverse origins for example hearing loss, eardrum inflammation, head or neck injuries, and use of certain drugs. The specialist can give the correct diagnosis and treatment alternatives specific to your case. It is advisable to seeking a healthcare professional immediacy to avoid extendes complications.

last night after having a margarita & hitting my weed pen a few times, i began feeling extremely nauseous. i went to the bathroom where the nausea worsened & my anxiety began to get bad. i started pacing back & forth & taking deep breaths to calm down. as the nausea got worse i started getting really lightheaded & felt like i had to lay down. i layed down in the bathroom & my friends said i was super pale & extremely sweaty. what happened?
Female | 20
It's possible that the ALCOHOL and weed caused nausea and dizziness.. When consumed in large amounts, both substances can cause low blood pressure, which can lead to feeling lightheaded and sweaty.. Anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.. The best course of action is to avoid excessive alcohol and any such products use and seek medical attention if symptoms persist...

I ate the licked icecream of my friend who was bitten by cat 10 days ago and looks healthy and asymptomatic and my friend also got first vaccine dose, do i too need rabies vaccine or not
Male | 19
You've got no worries if your friend got scratched by a cat, is doing good, and has started the rabies vaccination process. The symptoms of rabies may not appear until a while after the infection, usually between 1 and 3 months. Since it's only been 10 days and your friend is doing well, you probably won't have to take the rabies vaccine. Still, be alert for any signs of illness such as fever, headache, and difficulties in swallowing.

Hello my mother recently has been in a lot of pain and has been having these attacks and her vision has been completely blurred. She ended up finding out she had really high glucose . She’s been starving herself and not eating lately because she’s scared . Is there any advice you could possibly give me to help my mother out?
Female | 40
It's important that your mother immediately gets an endocrinologist who can attend to her signs and symptoms. High blood sugar levels may point to diabetes that cannot be controlled and needs to be adequately controlled.

With the details you have provided, it is likely that you are either suffering from an anal fissure or hemorrhoids. Both problems can trigger burning and itching in the anal area.

Good day, I masturbated in a unisex toilet. I then cleaned up with a sheet of toilet paper and flushed it down. I am scared that a few drops might have got to the roll of toilet paper. If a female went to use the the toilet after me and wiped using the toilet roll, could it result in pregnancy?
Male | 27
NO, PREGNANCY CANNOT RESULT from using a contaminated toilet paper Sperm cannot survive outside the body for long.. The chances of pregnancy are extremely low under such circumstances… However, it is important to maintain good hygiene practices to avoid any infections…

One-sided tinnitus can be a symptom of a condition, like an ear injury, an ear infection or age related hearing loss. Even if it may not be a serious problem, you should consider consulting an ENT.
