Female | 23
You can't spot HIV by less white blood cells alone. Other symptoms such as fever, weight loss and night sweats may also be present. I suggest that you consult with a specialist in infectious disease for a proper diagnosis and medication plan. Besides that, let your mental health issues and medications know the doctor as a precaution to avoid any drug interactions.

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.

Male | 26
Symptoms like the flu, muscle aches, weight reduction, vomiting, diarrhea, and now high blood pressure are a cause for concern. These signs could be brought on by several things including seasonal influenza, change in diet, stress, or even underlying medical issues. It’s great that you got tested for HIV but it’s important to keep looking for what else may be causing your ailment. To help with these matters, see a medical professional who will give you a thorough check-up and decide on the treatment.

My grandmother is around 87 years old. Since last 2 days she has high sugar. She is not able to talk properly, only responding with hmm. She is having trouble eating, cough is formed in her throat. She is feeling very weak. What could be the reason? Will she be okay? What to do?
Female | 87
A high blood sugar level that your grandmother has been experiencing could be indicative of diabetic ketoacidosis. They can lead to clarity, speaking, and weakness. I highly recommend the specialist endocrinologist or diabetologist appointment as soon as possible for her to get a comprehensive evaluation and proper management.

Female | 23
Skipping chronic medication might trigger problems like a yeast infection. These can also be without appetite and cause pain in the flank. Ttake your meds as prescribed to avoid them. Taking plenty of water and consuming fiber-rich foods will make it easier. If you have pain even after doing so, talk to your healthcare provider.

I had runny nose , little fever , throat pain , headache and fatigue from 2 days then I took cetrizine and Augmentin 625 one tab each . Next morning I still have headache and nose is not runny anymore , is this right medicine or can u tell me what do I have and what medicine i should take
Female | 23
You might have a mild and harmless influenza if you experience these symptoms. A runny nose and sore throat are probably due to a virus. Augmentin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria but may be unnecessary if the main issue is a viral infection. Cetirizine can relieve allergy symptoms, though it doesn't address the cause. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and using acetaminophen for headaches are great approaches. If symptoms persist, it is best to see a doctor.

Male | 17
If an infected animal drooled into your eye, you may have contracted rabies; however, the chances are slim. Common indicators include high temperatures and general discomfort such as headaches. To be safe, rinse your eye thoroughly for a few minutes with water and get in touch with a medical professional immediately.

Gas buildup, muscle strain, hormonal shifts – these could explain the symptoms. For relief, try smaller meals, light movement, and loose clothing. However, if pain persists or worsens, don't hesitate. Consult a healthcare professional who can properly assess and address the underlying issue.

Swelling may be caused by many things such as heart or kidney problems. Dehydration or malnutrition could result in hypotension. Remember to drink lots of water and eat healthily. Get plenty of rest; avoid salty foods until you’re better. If these signs do not go away soon get medical attention immediately.
