Your friend must be going through a troubling physiological state. Sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, headache, nosebleed, cough, and even the blood and mucus signs can indicate a particular disease. Make it an obligation to see a healthcare specialist as soon as possible. These symptoms may be due to biological complications or some causatives such as infections and high blood pressure upon which the treatment sits. A doctor should examine what is wrong with him and provide the treatment.

Stem cell therapy shows promise for treating kidney disease, but its ability to cure the condition 100% is not guaranteed. Factors like the type of kidney disease, patient's health, and treatment approach play a role. While there have been positive results, realistic expectations and consultation with specialists are important due to ongoing research in this field.

1.Can I wash my hair and bath in dengue If yes then by cold or hot water 2.from the end of third day my pain goes away and fever also not happen in dengue is it a miracle to recover in 3 days
Female | 23
Washing hair and bathing with lukewarm (not too hot/cold) water is fine if you have dengue. Three days without fever or pain might mean you're improving. High fever, awful muscle/joint aches, rashes - typical dengue signs. Rest up, hydrate, and check with a doctor if concerned.

Hi I am very out of shape and 115kg weight I dont move at all but tomorrow I have a flight and today I cleaned my entire apartment and stood and did physical for 12 hours. I also have sleep apnea. I stood and did around house so much without a break and Im qlso on my period nad didnt sleep well for days. I have mobitz II sometimes too. Im worried that I will die from overexertion
Female | 24
Doing more than you can afford, especially with your weight, sleep apnea, and heart problems, can be dangerous. Overexertion symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. First of all, take it easy and take plenty of time to relax, drink water, and avoid strenuous activities. Alternate between working and taking a break as your energy and effectiveness wanes and waxes.

Male | 17
If an infected animal drooled into your eye, you may have contracted rabies; however, the chances are slim. Common indicators include high temperatures and general discomfort such as headaches. To be safe, rinse your eye thoroughly for a few minutes with water and get in touch with a medical professional immediately.

Female | 38
A fever of 101 and body pains are bad. It is good you took Arachitol 6 L Injection for vitamin D lack. You can take Crocin 12 hr after that for fever and body pains since they work in different ways. But be sure to take the right amount of each drug. Rest a lot, drink lots of water, and you will feel better soon.

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours
Female | 17
You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.

I tested positive for syphillis and begative for HIV. I’ve treated syphillis a week ago. i would want to know if I should retest for HIV or take PRePs for HIV.

When you have already been treated for syphilis then take a retest for HIV after six weeks. But PrEP alone is not enough. You still have to be safe while engaging in sexual intercourse.

Lice in the ear can cause serious infections and complications if left untreated. Talk to ENT specialist they will examine your ear and prescribe the appropriate treatment to get rid of the lice and prevent further complications. Do not try to remove the lice yourself as it may cause more harm

I am 18 years old and have joined gym since a year. I am 6.2 feet tall and I think this to be the reason for not gained weight. My current weight is 64.I have been using whey protein from 6 months but no result. I am vegetarian and eating high calorie food still unable to gain weight. Do you recommend me to take creatine and is it totally safe as a late teen
Male | 18
It would be better if you consulted a nutritionist or dietitian to get an individualized meal plan. When you are 6.2 feet tall, it does not mean that weight gain is impossible. It would rule out or treat other underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorder, metabolic disease. Consult a specialist before taking creatine or any other supplement, in order to make sure it is safe for you.

Hello, I had a cut on my hand and another person's hand touched my wound. I saw the cut on his hand too, but I didn't feel any moisture after touch. Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted in this way?
Female | 34
HIV spreads mainly from unprotected sex, needles, or transfusions. Getting it through touching is very rare. If there was no blood or fluid, the chances are tiny. Symptoms like fever, tiredness, swollen glands may occur. But talk to a doctor if you're concerned. They can ease your worries and maybe test you.

Hello sir,i want to know before 3 months a dog bite me and i take 3 injections and doesn't take 2 more injections,and after 3 months a new dog bite me what I do please suggest me
Male | 26
Dogs have the potential of infecting you if they bite. Bitten twice by dogs is a matter of concern. When you miss some injections, this could indicate that you are not fully protected. Infections may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the bite area. You must visit your doctor to get a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include additional vaccinations to avert complications.
