What is the Risk of Transmitting Disease from a Free Blood Glucose Test?

Hello. I want to ask about the risks of taking a free blood glucose test in a health fair. How high is the risk of transmitting a disease from it? Thank you.

Answered on 23rd May '24

The chance of carrying a disease from a free blood sugar test taken at a health fair in most cases is small. However, it is of utmost importance that hygiene and sterilization be observed in the testing process. If you have any concerns about symptoms after a test or, in the future, visit an endocrinologist for guidance and treatment.

I am under weight so please suggest me weight gainer

Female | 22

I recommend you visit a dietician or a nutritionist so you can have a weight gain program customized for you. Just taking weight gainers without proper advice can cause you some major health hazards. A dietician can recommend you while a nutritionist can help you with the choice of proper supplements for your body type.

My mother is an asthama patient, she got mild fever and body pain so I have given her ibrufen 200 mg ,if there is any contradiction then what to do. Can I give her Montamac tablet and her Formanide pump

Female | 56

Fever and body pain can be caused by different things, and giving ibuprofen is usually a sensible thing to do. On the other, ibuprofen is not the best choice for asthma patients because it can sometimes make things worse. You can also try giving Montamac tablets for the fever and body pain as an alternative to ibuprofen. The use of her Formanide pump, which medical professionals have prescribed for her asthma, must be strictly observed. The same is true if the symptoms worsen, it is necessary to see a doctor.

Feet swollen on both feet

Female | 44

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.

I am 24 years old. I am suffering from fever and cold from last 3 days. On early morning I feeling good.But day progress feeling sick, weakness and fever.

Male | 24

You could be suffering from a common cold or flu. Cold symptoms include fever, runny nose, and feeling tired. These viruses are transmitted through a cough or a sneeze of a sick person close to you. First, if you want to feel better, you should make sure to rest, drink lots of fluids, and take some over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol. However, if you experience worsening symptoms or have trouble breathing, you should visit a physician.

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.
