Hello. I'm 18, Male, 169cm, 59kg. Today I saw and felt this small lump right on my sternum. I don't smoke nor drink and don't have any current medications. It doesn't hurt and it's actually hard, just like any bone, you can't move it or anything. What might it be? cause I've been pretty scared and worried.

Answered on 23rd May '24

A small, hard lump on the sternum could be a normal bone anatomy, benign or malignant tumors, cysts, lipomas, or inflammation of the chest cartilage. Consult with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized guidance. They can perform an examination and order additional tests if needed.

Typhoid fever can last for a few weeks, even with antibiotics. Chills are common and may persist after the fever subsides. Be sure to continue taking your antibiotics, drink plenty of fluids, rest, and stay warm.

Female | 33

According to the lymph node you state, your armpit lump may be a swollen lymph node. I recommend you see a family doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in the first place to acquire an accurate assessment and the necessary recommendations.

Hello! After a common cold I have tinnitus. My doctor said the ear nerve is the problem and made a therapy plan with infusions of antibiotics and dexametason for 5 days. After the 2nd one there is no improvement. Im not sure if this is the right therapy for my problem

Female | 18

It should be noted that tinnitus may manifest itself after a cold because of the inflammation in the middle ear. But the treatment plan that you offer seems adequate. In this regard, it is recommended to have all the antibiotics and dexamethasone. In case of absence of any improvements, you should see your ENT specialist for additional evaluation and treatment.

Hi, my daughter (18 yrs) noticed a nodule towards the back of her neck below her right ear, about 4 days back. It has since developed into a sore throat and productive cough. Please advise a suitable remedy. Thank you!

Female | 18

It could be a lymph node or a cyst, and a sore throat and cough could be unrelated or just the symptoms of a contraction. Please talk to a ENT doctor

Female | 17

it would be wise to get a checkup from a physician. They can do that by identifying the cause of your cough. For instance, if the reason causing your cough is a chest infection, a doctor can give you antibiotics or suggest over the counter cough suppressants.

Do I need to go to the ER if I can't find my earring in my ear?

Female | 16

No, you do not have to go to the ER only because your earring can't find in there. Most probably, the earring fell off by itself. But you need to visit an ENT physician if and when there is pain, swelling, or discharge.

Male | 18

Taking 14 paracetamol tablets at once can be dangerous and can lead to liver damage or failure. Seek medical attention immediately if you are experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Sharp pain in abdominal area. Pains not terrible but it is noticeable

Male | 30

Experiencing noticeable sharp abdominal pain, even if it's not severe, should be addressed. Potential causes include muscle strain, digestive issues, menstrual cramps, appendicitis, or other medical conditions.

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.
