Maybe the antibiotics you have been taking for the last 5 days are not effective in controlling the infection resulting in your sore throat. I advice you to get an ENT consultation in order to get the correct diagnosis. They may recommend another antibiotic or to explore other treatment options and manage symptoms for you. Do not delay getting treatment of your problems with swallowing as this may aggravate matters.

Jab bhi mai cold chije jaise iceream,curd,chilled water,rice,etc khati hu to pure body me sujan dikhta hai. 3-4 kg weight badha hua dikhta hai. Fir 24hour baad thik ho jata hai. What is it?
Female | 33
It's possible that you might be experiencing an allergic reaction or some form of food intolerance. When you consume cold items your body may react to certain components in these foods, leading to swelling and water retention, which could temporarily increase your weight. This kind of reaction can vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe.

I was prescribed lamictal a mood stablizer two weeks ago. My doctor just increased my dosage to 50mg from 25mg. I went to the doctor Wednesday for an ear infection and my blood pressure was high : 150/90. I have been checking it ever since and It has been the same. I checked it today and it was 160/100. I have never had high blood pressure, and its always been 120/80 or lower. I am pretty sure this medication is causing my blood pressure to be high because it wont go down. I cant talk to my doctor till next Wednesday thats when shes in the office. I cant stop taking the medication because its an anti-seizure medication and if i stop cold turkey I may have a seizure, but I dont want to keep taking it because its making my blood pressure dangerously high and idk

It could be that the boost in the dosage of the stabilizer, Lamictal, is causing your hypertension. It is vital you tell your doctor when you noticed the change in your blood pressure readings. Please do not alter your medication without consulting the doctor. In the meantime, it is crucial to keep an eye on your blood pressure by doing regular monitoring and looking for medical help if it remains high. You may contact a specialist for advanced evaluation and management.

Feel laziness and whole body pain all the time
Male | 25
Experiencing both a problem with energy and a lot of pain all over the body is hard. One of the reasons might be sleeping little hours, skipping meals, or not doing enough work. On the other hand, stress is also a significant factor in this. Apart from this, eat well, have enough sleep, and work out to get rid of this feeling. Go to a doctor who will help you with the situation.

How long will 3 mg melatonin keep me asleep
Female | 23
melatonin should be seen as facilitating sleep rather than as an inducing sleep medication. The result is not the same for everyone who is using 3 mg of melatonin, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay asleep after taking the dosage. For sleep-related diseases, always consult a sleep specialist.

I want to weight gain my weight is 40 in age 18
Female | 18
To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than you burn. Increase your calorie intake by eating nutrient-dense foods, such as nuts, seeds, and lean proteins. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and aim to get adequate sleep and manage stress levels.

Male | 17
Based on the things you feel, it seems you might have the flu. Sickness from flu comes from a tiny germ. You can take pills like paracetamol to help make the body less hot and have less ache. These common pills help make the flu better. Rest a lot too. Drink plenty of water and eat light, good foods. If you still feel sick, talk to a doctor.

Male | 19
You're right to ask about HIV risks. Such viruses can't stay alive very long outside bodies. The odds of getting HIV via tiny haircut cuts are super slim. Still, watch cuts closely to avoid infections. If you experience unexplained fever, aches, or rashes, see a doctor.

Last night a bat flew over my back and I am afraid it might have bitten me. I didn't feel the bite, but now I feel pain in my left shoulder and nausea. Given the potential risk of rabies, I would like to ask if I should seek medical attention immediately?
Male | 17
You might not experience any symptoms if a bat bit you because their bites can be small. If you feel pain and nausea afterward, especially in your left shoulder, it could be a sign of rabies. Rabies is a serious brain virus that commonly occurs through animal bites. Hence, it is necessary to seek medical help without delay. Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.
