Possible HIV Infection: Symptoms After Eye Exposure?
Hello, 2 months ago a drop of hiv infected person (not on medicine) saliva splashed into my eyes while talking and after 3 weeks i had mild cold symptoms for a few days. Am I infected with HIV? Cold stop pills made my symptoms better
General Physician
Answered on 25th July '24
The symptoms experienced could stem from various causes, not exclusively HIV. Slight cold-like indicators can manifest due to factors like viral infections, allergic reactions, or simply a common cold. The alleviation provided by the cold-stop medication is beneficial. Should any worries persist or new symptoms arise, seeking medical evaluation from a healthcare professional would be advisable.

My toe nail is completely ripping off it is barely on connected to my long toe. It is not currently bleeding and does not hurt either. From when I'm writing this it had been an hour.
Male | 13
if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!

I have constant constipation even tho I take fibrous foods. This makes me pass a lot of gas and have bloating. What should I do please?
Female | 18
Constipation can be caused by a number of factors, including a lack of fiber and water in the diet, as well as a sedentary lifestyle. However, if you are already consuming a fibrous diet and still experiencing constipation, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition. As a medical expert, I advise you to visit a gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. They will be able to recommend a suitable treatment plan to address your issue.

I am 31 year male I was feeling dizziness & dry throat then I taken vitamin c chewing tablet then after 1.5. Hours I taken dinner then immediately I taken calcium tablet is it will create any problem the way like I consume the medicine
Male | 31
Dizziness and dry throat can happen due to dehydration or low blood sugar. Taking vitamin C and calcium tablets together may not cause problems right away, but it could upset your stomach later. Take tablets with time in between to avoid stomach issues. Follow dosage and timing instructions on labels. If you still feel unwell, see your doctor.

10 days ago I started having diarrhea and cramps, I couldn’t explain why because I was careful with what I ate. During the first days it was bad I had to wake up early in the morning to go to the toilet. On 7th day I started doing the following: - drinking a lot of mint tea - taking 5 drops of liquid propolis every day - took a teaspoon of cocoa raw once - ate toast and bananas and soup and rice only - no sugar for 2 days - taking one Imodium once a day Now it is the 10th day since I have this problem. Compared to the beginning, I no longer have diarrhea that wakes me up. I only feel the need to go once a day but the stool is still a little too soft. The main issue is the stomach ache and cramps which seem to be stronger than in the beginning. Nauseous in the morning after eating breakfast but didn’t throw up. Otherwise I feel fine - full energy, no weakness, no dehydration. If it’s worth mentioning I have an irregular sleep schedule where I sleep at 4-5 AM and wake up around noon every day (still 7+ hours of sleep) I noticed that before this issue started, I did the following things the day before: - started eating sunflower seeds - started taking vitamin D - ate persimmons for the first time this year - ate Cadbury chocolate for the first time I stopped all of them on my 7th day

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 | 59
If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, some diagnostics to keep an eye out for are if your symptoms don't improve or actually get worse, if new symptoms emerge that weren't present earlier, or if you experience side effects from the treatment. These things could be the indications that the specific therapy is not your cup of tea. In such cases, it's crucial to the doctor to discuss other alternative solutions that may suit you better.
