My mother has pain in throat since yesterday with cold cough and mild fever
Female | 58
Throat ache, coughing, and slight fever might mean a cold or flu. Viruses cause sore throat and coughing. Fever helps fight infection. For relief, ensure she rests, drinks lots of fluids, and takes over-the-counter pain meds if needed. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, see a doctor.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg
Male | 17
Movera is a pain relieving medication. However, taking both medications close together might not be safe. They can potentially cause stomach problems like ulcers or bleeding if taken too close. It's better to wait a few hours before administering Movera. If he's still experiencing pain after that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise to consult a doctor before combining different drugs.

Okay, I have a staphylococcus infection that I am treating. I took a Rocephin injection because other drugs were resistant. After the injection, I was prescribed a drug called ciprofloxacin. I have been experiencing some pain while taking ciprofloxacin.
Male | 20
You're experiencing pain while taking ciprofloxacin, which occurs occasionally during your treatment. This pain may be caused by irritation in your stomach due to the medication. Prolonged exposure to ciprofloxacin can lead to discomfort. It's important to inform your doctor about this so they can advise you on the next steps.

Sir, I had come to you for a consultation (on CGHS referral) in the month of april.i need another specialist consultation,but the referral is from CGHS Delhi branch.can we still come to you or do we need to find an specialist in Delhi only.Please advice.I tried to call MPCT hospital but couldn't get through
Female | 58
A CGHS Delhi referral for a specialist would make sure that your precious time is only spent on the specialist's area of expertise, so in this case, it means you should see a specialist in Delhi. The ideal way is the hassle-free one. Keeping things simple is your advice best taken in the process. Meanwhile, be cautious about any new symptoms or changes that you're witnessing and note them. Also, contacting CGHS Delhi should try to find out about the steps involved with the new doctor and MPCT hospital and get you the proper info.

Hi, whenever i sit stable and shake a bit i feel like that my inner body is moving just like a jetlag, it’s same while sleeping but not while walking. What would be the problem?
Male | 26
This dizziness, called vertigo, often stems from inner ear issues. Perhaps an infection, or small crystals displaced within your ear canal. Specific head motions can trigger these sensations. It's crucial to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

Hello sir, I want to know about kidney stone related treatment
Male | 28
Kidney stones are painful hard bits that develop inside kidneys. They occur from lack of water intake and consuming excessive salt. Symptoms include severe pain below or back, bloody urine, feeling sick, and needing to pee frequently. To treat, drink abundant water. Take pain relievers. Sometimes surgery removes the stone. But it's better to prevent them through staying hydrated and limiting salt.

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.
