Answered on 23rd May '24
Swollen feet may signal a heart, liver or kidney problem. Prolonged sitting or standing may also cause swelling. Wearing compression socks, elevating feet, and regular exercise may help reduce swelling. Consult with a doctor if swelling persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.

My whole body aches, including my eyes my joints and my internals, I took muscle relaxers because I was told it should help (methocarbamol) and I'm also on birth control (Norethindrone)
Female | 20
Muscle relaxers like methocarbamol may help with muscle spasms but won't address the underlying issue. Birth control pills like Norethindrone typically don't cause widespread body aches. You must consult with your doctor to find out the causes of the pain, they may advice some tests or examination to check.

Once a person has reached their full adult height, there is no surgical procedure or medical intervention to significantly increase it. Limb lengthening surgeries are complex, risky, and typically reserved for medical conditions, not for cosmetic height increase.

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.

Male | 18
Dors or DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a chemical that was banned and is known to have many health problems, such as cancer. There is no direct evidence that links DDT to eye cancer, but it is better to avoid exposure to dangerous substances. For any concerns or symptoms related to eye cancer, see an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Male | 31
Albendazole is a medicine that usually helps get rid of them. But sometimes you need extra doses to fully banish pinworms. Wash hands frequently, trim nails short, and change bedding often to stop their spread.

Female | 20
It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

Such symptoms may be the result of an infection. Fever and weakness are common symptoms when people are fighting an infection. In addition to plenty of fluid and rest, you can consume Advil or Tylenol. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice.

My 5 year old son swallowed a coin. The x-ray shows that the position of the coin is not complicated and the child is not showing any kind of discomfort. within how many hours will the coin normally pass through the system? what should I do next?
Male | 5
If your child shows no signs of distress and the swallowed coin is in the simple position it should move on its own within 24-48 hours. But you should closely watch your symptoms, stools, and bowel movements during this period. You needs to refer to the pediatric gastroenterologist for further investigations and treatment.
