There is a chance that either you are suffering from tonsillitis or an infection in your throat and mouth. It is advisable to consult an ear-nose-throat specialist or a periodontist immediately to get an exact diagnosis and a correct treatment plan.

I am 18 years old I have chest restless from 3 day
Male | 18
This can happen due to nerves, too much coffee, or reflux. Try and stay calm, lay off the caffeine, and have smaller meals throughout the day. If it doesn’t go away speak with someone who cares about your well-being; take some long deep breaths while you’re at it. Remember to drink water and get rest.

Can I take the tacky and Benadryl together
Female | 18
Don't take Tums and Benadryl together. Tums can help with heartburn or other stomach problems, while Benadryl might be used for itching caused by allergies. However, if both drugs are taken simultaneously it may result in side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness and confusion. For better performance without health risks ensure they have been taken few hours apart.

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.

Your tonsil infection may have returned, and the antibiotic you took previously may not have completely cured it. I recommend visiting an ENT specialist who can diagnose and treat your condition appropriately.

Can I eat banana chips during kidney stone
Male | 19
Banana chips can be high in sodium and unhealthy fats since it is fried. If you have kidney stones, you need to limit your intake of sodium and unhealthy fats. High sodium intake can increase calcium excretion in urine, potentially contributing to the formation of certain types of kidney stones.

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.

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.

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.

Hello doctor, I was injured through blade, on the 11 October timing around 3 PM, i forgot to take tatnus shot, today in the morning I taken shot of tetnus, I think I had been more than 30 hours of little injury, did I delayed to taken tetnus shot? As of now I don't have any symptoms. If I delayed then now what should I do?
Male | 27
Tetanus can take place if bacteria invade the injured area. Even if you took it a bit late, it's not too late to fix that. Symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasms may show up. Don't forget to look for this. Now that you've got the vaccination, you're safe. Keep an eye on your wound and if you notice something strange or feel sick, it's a good idea to call your doctor.

It seems you are experiencing prolonged fever, flu symptoms, difficulty in breathing, and a fast heart rate, along with extreme fatigue. These could be signs of a serious underlying condition, so it's essential not to delay. Please visit a physician or an internal medicine specialist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Self-medication can be harmful in such cases.
