It’s common for some individuals to experience lingering discomfort after a COVID-19 infection, including throat irritation, muscle aches, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. Given that you still have symptoms, it's advisable to continue your isolation until you feel better. Returning to work too soon may risk spreading illness to others. Please consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance and support. They can provide recommendations based on your situation. Remember to stay hydrated and rest as much as possible.

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.

I ate only soaked (in cold water) row soya chunks. I read these are harmful to health. Can you pls let me know how they are harmful? And What should I do now?
Male | 33
Consuming only uncooked soya chunks can be detrimental. You may experience difficulty in digestion, possibly causing abdominal distress, bloating, and gas. Cooking soya chunks adequately facilitates easier absorption of nutrients. If consumed raw, indigestion may occur through stomach aches, gas, or bloating. Drinking enough water assists in flushing out problematic substances. Closely monitor yourself for any abdominal disturbances following raw soya chunk ingestion.

Aapke partner ki health ke liye kuch symptoms, jaise fatigue, weight loss, ya persistent pain, important indicators ho sakte hain. Inki wajah lifestyle, stress, ya kisi underlying condition se ho sakti hai. Aapko sabse pehle unki daily habits, jaise khana aur exercise, par dhyan dena chahiye.

For most people, drinking about 8 cups of water a day is good. If you feel dizzy, tired, or have dark pee, these could mean you are not drinking enough water. Drinking lots of water helps your body work well and can stop headaches and constipation.

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. I suggest you to go to a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis. They will provide the appropriate treatment according to your condition.

Hi I am suffering from fever last 02 days like 100 & 102 & normal neck pain in mouth.. So what can I do ?
Male | 37
Your symptoms indicate a viral infection. Fevers between 100-102°F accompanied by neck pain often signal the flu or a cold. Resting, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter fever reducers like acetaminophen can provide relief. However, worsening or persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if needed.

I have swollen lymph nodes is it because of HIV
Female | 22
Swollen lymph nodes can occur due to many reasons, and while HIV infection can sometimes lead to swollen lymph nodes, it is not the only possible explanation. Many other factors, such as infections (both viral and bacterial), autoimmune conditions, and even common illnesses like the flu, can cause swollen lymph nodes.
