Can drinking from a mildew water bottle make me sick
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Drinking from a water bottle with mildew could potentially be harmful to your health. Mildew is a type of mold that grows in moist conditions and can lead to respiratory issues and allergies.
If you see mildew in your bottle, avoid drinking from it and clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water, a bleach solution, or vinegar solution. Make sure the bottle is completely dry before using it again.

I am 38 years old female and i have been experiencing pain all over my body. Pinching pain in my chest, shoulders, arms. Pain in my legs. Headache pain near eyebrows. I am not really sure what is going on with me but i have been experiencing this for a couple of months now on and off.
Female | 38
The symptoms that you are explaining, such as pain in your chest, shoulders, hands, legs, and the headache near the eyebrows, have to be due to something that is called fibromyalgia. This condition may mean that the patient experiences pain in vast parts of the body and constant tender affectivity. A orthopedist's examination is necessary to diagnose the condition correctly and to negotiate the treatment process, such as the use of medication, physical activity, and stress management approaches that could help cope with the pain.

Female | 19
Your face acne could relate to an unhealthy diet. Trouble sleeping may result from stress or anxiety. Headaches might stem from not finishing your previous medication course. Stomach discomfort after eating could signal digestive issues. Feeling nervous and inability to concentrate may also link to anxiety. To improve, try eating healthier foods, managing stress levels, and resuming headache treatment. However, it's important to consult a doctor for personalized guidance and support.

I just got out of the hospital and need some advice. My bladder got emptied with a catheter. Can I have a glass of wine with dinner?
Male | 76
With a catheter, your body is more vulnerable, so drinking alcohol isn't wise. Booze irritates the bladder, causing extra discomfort. Drink water or juice instead, for now. Allow your system to rest and recovery time.
