It seems that you have had persistent symptoms that are possibly due to a viral infection. Signs like a runny nose, sore throat, or fatigue are the common symptoms, which sometimes may persist in weeks. Your body will get better fast if you relax and consume liquids. Non-prescription drugs can help you feel better, but if you have any symptoms that get worse or if new ones appear, go to a healthcare provider to have a proper check-up. Remember, Your early entry will improve treatment efficiency. You are doing the right thing by getting help, and we can ensure your healing together!

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 am suffering from fever, loose motions, cold and cough from last two days
Male | 34
It seems like you are in pain, you are having more than one symptom. A fever can be the source of an infection, a loose bowel usually is the result of gastrointestinal problems. The cold and cough might be viral infections. Make sure to keep well-saturated and sleep as your body battles this off. Medications can also be bought over-the-counter to relieve higher body temperature and cough. Foods that are soft and easy to cook may be less hard on your digestive system. But to be sure, if the symptoms remain or get worse then, it is very appropriate to advise a healthcare professional. They will diagnose your illness properly and suggest the right medical options to help you recover. Be well, and take rest and drinking water with some priority!

Sir I have already taken 4 doses of arv on day 0, 3, 7,28 .My last vaccination was on 24th October 2023.if I got a scratch within 3months of taking arv then I again need vaccine
Female | 19
If you have fully completed the ARV program and were given your last vaccine dose less than three months ago then there is no need to take such a vaccination again. But if you have bitten or scratched any animal suspected of having the rabies virus, then immediately consult a physician and go to an infectious diseases specialist for treatment.

Eye redness, Fever, cough, cold eye redness appeared today fever from 1 week
Male | 13
I think you might have a cold that’s making you cough and giving you red eyes. Having a fever for a whole week is a cause for concern. Sometimes red eyes are a sign of a cold virus. You should rest, drink fluids, and take something for the fever. If you don’t get better or your eyes get worse, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.

I am a 20 year old male. i was put onto treatment by my doctor and mt traditional healer at the same time. my traditional healer gave me a drink to drink over the course of four months (September to December) and now I can't feel the effects of my doctors medication. what could the issue be?
Male | 20
Sometimes when people mix things up like this, it can have surprising effects on them. It could alter how those drugs work on you. Maybe that’s why you haven’t been responding to treatment as expected. The best way forward would be to communicate these things with your doctor openly for an optimal solution.

The main cause of numbness in the hands is hyperemia in the muscles of the hands. The hyperemia causes increased amount of blood flow. Collagen reduction is another aging factor in the body leading to numbness in the hands. You can consult an orthopedic or a joint specialist to get over this problem

Why there was discharge before peing after taking termin injection
Male | 22
Regular pre-pee discharge after terminal injection is common. The shot sometimes aggravates the bladder, which results in this. There is some likelihood that it will also evoke a slight feeling of burning or a soft, dull pain. However, do not panic, as this symptom will normally resolve. Water is necessary to dilute the toxins in your body. If the problem lasts longer or becomes more severe, consult your physician.

When I stand up on my right hand side of my groin there is a long bulge, you can only see it when I stand up tho and I’m wondering what this could be. Above that then on the right hand side of my belly there is a very long thinker bulge that goes diagonal I’m not sure if this is related or not. I’ve recently started going to the gym tho so I’m not sure if this would have anything to do with it but it’s not sore or anything it’s just sticking out a lot
Female | 21
It could be a hernia that is causing the bulge you are experiencing on the right side of your groin. It is recommended to see a specialist for a complete examination and an accurate diagnosis.

My whole body aches, including my eyes my joints and my internals, I took muscle relaxers because I was told it should help (methocarbamol) and I'm also on birth control (Norethindrone)
Female | 20
Muscle relaxers like methocarbamol may help with muscle spasms but won't address the underlying issue. Birth control pills like Norethindrone typically don't cause widespread body aches. You must consult with your doctor to find out the causes of the pain, they may advice some tests or examination to check.

Hello I want to ask about HIV/AIDS, so on March, for the first time in my life I did a sex with prostitute in Osaka, Japan. Of course I'm using condom but I'm really afraid of HIV now
Male | 25
HIV can be spread through UNprotected sex or sharing needles.. Condoms prevent transmission.. Get tested as HIV symptoms may not appear for years.. Contact a healthcare provider for guidance..

Male | 24
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.

I fainted on Sunday and believe I hit my head on the concrete. Ever since then I’ve had a headache and sensitivity to light. I tried to make an appointment with the doctor but they are booked until Friday. What precautious should I take
Female | 19
In case you notice any worsening symptoms, including loss of consciousness; blurred vision, or vomiting seek medical help immediately. Because you hurt the head, this could be a symptom of concussion and will need going to see doctor as soon. It is advisable that you visit a neurologist for additional assessment and treatment alternatives.

Female | 18
These symptoms may show signs of diseases associated with the eyes. It is important to see an ophthalmologist in order to assess the underlying cause. The specialist will probably suggest imaging tests, eye exams or other diagnostics procedures to detect the problem and establish a treatment strategy. Don’t overlook these symptoms as they could be signs of severe health complications.

This could result from gulping down food rapidly or consuming fizzy beverages. Try pacing yourself during meals, steering clear of carbonated drinks, and opting for smaller portions. However, if symptoms persist, consulting a medical professional would be wise.
