How long will 3 mg melatonin keep me asleep
Female | 23
melatonin should be seen as facilitating sleep rather than as an inducing sleep medication. The result is not the same for everyone who is using 3 mg of melatonin, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay asleep after taking the dosage. For sleep-related diseases, always consult a sleep specialist.

Female | 34
You should never try to check the levels of your thyroid. It needs sophisticated skills and expensive equipment to measure thyroid hormone levels. Rather, I advise going to an endocrinologist who will do a blood test that measures the thyroid hormone in your system.

So back in January 13, while I was preparing for my best friend's birthday, the stray dog owned by one of our neighbors, came up to near me and almost licked me had I not looked behind my back and stopped the dog. But that's how I remember it, I am worried that I remembered it wrong, and the dog licked me. But before all that, I had taken 2 anti rabies booster shots back in January 9 and 12 respectively at an animal bite center since I already had the post exposure shots back in 2019. However, the nurse where I got the post exposure shots told me the shots expired already since it was only good for 5 years, and that I need to redo them. Which do I follow here?
Male | 21
Rabies is a serious virus illness transmitted by saliva from animals through bites or licks. It causes fever, headaches, and abnormal behaviors. Since your nurse said rabies shots last only 5 years, you should get new shots for safety. This protects against contracting rabies after exposure.

Male | 22
The condition is called puberphonia, and occurs when the muscles in your voice box do not grow stronger during adolescence. Symptoms include speaking at a higher pitch than expected for someone of your sex. The good news is that speech therapy can help you deepen your voice so it sounds more masculine. All you have to do is keep practicing the exercises regularly with a speech therapist - you will see progress soon enough.

My urea level is 40 is it normal or not
Female | 29
A normal range of urea reads 40 mg/dL, which is typically anywhere between 7 and 43 mg/dL. There is no such thing as a full representation of renal function with just one test. If you become alerted to your urea level or kidney function, see a nephrologist for the diagnosis and recommendation.
