Answered on 23rd May '24
So, I would refer you to a pediatric endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation of your chances of reaching the normal height. But exercise and a good diet are vital for growth, the use of height supplements is not recommended showing that they are not effective. The specialist can suggest a combination of other interventions that best suits you in terms of your needs and potential growth.

I have fever and cough headache
Male | 17
Having fever, cough, or headache may signify a cold or flu coming. Your body's battling infection - fever kills germs, coughing clears lungs, and headaches stem from congestion. Rest, hydrate well, and take OTC meds for relief.

I have taken vitamin D medicine continuously for 8 days despite for once a week
Female | 58
You need to take vitamin D supplements correctly. Don't take daily doses meant for weekly intake. That causes vitamin D overload. It triggers nausea, vomiting, weakness. Stop taking excess vitamin D immediately. Drink lots of water. Allow your body time to recover. Follow doctor's prescription diligently next time.

My child got a very small bite from 2-3 month old puppy the skin also not broken. Just a small red colour is there ver very minor and the puppy has got one vaccine of rabbis and also my child has got vaccine of rabbis previous year. Do i need to still worry about it?
Male | 12
Despite the puppy having obtained one dose of vaccine and your kid getting the vaccine of the previous year, it is still better to visit a doctor. They can perform bites and give any treatment or further injections which are needed. The best doctors in case of rabies issues would be infectious disease specialists or pediatricians.

Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding thyroiditis. If TSH is low but T3 and T4 are normal, it could indicate subacute thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism. Prednisone may be prescribed to manage inflammation in some cases, but only take it under a doctor's guidance.

The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
Male | 60
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.

What to do after injection of ceftriaxone wrongly and the part injected is increasing in size
Female | 22
This issue can arise when the medicine unintentionally enters surrounding tissues instead of muscle. Apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected region - this should help ease discomfort and reduce swelling somewhat. Keep the area clean, and watch closely for potential signs of infection like redness, excessive warmth, or pus formation. However, if symptoms intensify or you start feeling ill overall, it's crucial to promptly seek professional medical evaluation.

Male | 22
The hot bath and Preparation H cream you are using may provide some relief but you should be aware that bleeding is not a usual cause of hemorrhoids. I advise you to see a specialist, a gastroenterologist, who knows how to diagnose and treat your condition properly. If you have any rectal blood loss symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
