For Ramadan, diet must be sufficient nutritious and well-balanced. However, fasting does not require any special vitamins or supplements, and the importance lies in eating diverse types of food such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. But if you have any present medical conditions, it is crucial to seek out the advice of your primary care physician.

I am mubeena from Karachi I am thyroid patient I want to ask about thyroid if my thyroid is increased or decreased how can we check the test result by ourself
Female | 34
You should never try to check the levels of your thyroid. It needs sophisticated skills and expensive equipment to measure thyroid hormone levels. Rather, I advise going to an endocrinologist who will do a blood test that measures the thyroid hormone in your system.

Female | 58
Throat ache, coughing, and slight fever might mean a cold or flu. Viruses cause sore throat and coughing. Fever helps fight infection. For relief, ensure she rests, drinks lots of fluids, and takes over-the-counter pain meds if needed. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, see a doctor.

I am from South Africa and was vaccinated against measles, does that mean I am vaccinated for mumps and rubella?
Female | 26
If you have been vaccinated against measles it doesn't necessarily mean that you are covered against mumps and rubella. Each of measles, mumps, and rubella is a different disease. They each have their vaccine that is necessary for protection. Mumps may make you have swollen glands while rubella can cause a rash and fever. To be entirely safe, make sure that the mumps and rubella vaccinations are received.
