Your worry about the dog bite is understandable. However, you needn't fret excessively. Though rabies is grave, your three ARV doses safeguarded you adequately. Remain vigilant for symptoms such as fever, headaches, and hydrophobia. Should any symptoms appear, promptly consult a doctor.

Please tell me what is wrong with me.

Your face acne could relate to an unhealthy diet. Trouble sleeping may result from stress or anxiety. Headaches might stem from not finishing your previous medication course. Stomach discomfort after eating could signal digestive issues. Feeling nervous and inability to concentrate may also link to anxiety. To improve, try eating healthier foods, managing stress levels, and resuming headache treatment. However, it's important to consult a doctor for personalized guidance and support.

I came from hot sunny day and from evening I'm feeling nausea and head and neck pain It's night I just vomited now feeling my stomach light and ok But I still have neck and full head pain
Female | 37
It sounds like you may have a headache and feel sick to your stomach because you were out in the sun too long. We can get ill from overexposure to sunlight and it may cause our heads to hurt as well. While throwing up might help some, I doubt if your neck and head will stop aching. Drink lots of water, rest somewhere cool — don’t go back outside where there is more heat! If your headache doesn’t go away or gets worse, you should see a doctor.

Hi, I want to improve my overall health so i was planning to take tudca and betaine hydrochloride. How can i take tudca without neutralizing the benfits of betaine HCL. Thanks
Male | 40
Tudca and betaine HCL are both useful components. In addition, using them together could alter their effectiveness. Here's a clever way to do it: take tudca in the morning and betaine HCL with your main meals. By doing this, it will not distort the right one and you will receive the benefits of both. Just be aware of the dosages of both.

I'm little concerned about exposure to pure toluene. I think I accidentally inhaled toluene vapours while working with it on solvents. Although nothing seems to be affected, but what precautionary measure should I take now? I don't huff toluene or inhale intentionally for addiction. But, I work with toluene as an artist to restore damaged brushes or wipe of paints
Male | 31
Toluene exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and lightheadedness. Move to a well-ventilated area when using it and wear a protective mask. If you feel unwell, go outside for fresh air immediately.

I took anti rabies vaccine yesterday, can I drink alcohol after 48 hrs? As on next day I have last vaccine shot
Male | 29
After receiving the vaccine, it is alright to have alcohol after 48 hours. Drinking alcohol while taking a vaccine could potentially cause some mild side effects like nausea and headache. However, all you need to do is wait 48 hours after each shot, and you will be able to get back to normal. Make sure to follow the vaccine's instructions exactly as they are written to protect yourself and talk to your healthcare provider if you have any worries.

Your tonsil infection may have returned, and the antibiotic you took previously may not have completely cured it. I recommend visiting an ENT specialist who can diagnose and treat your condition appropriately.

My 3 months old baby suffering from loose motions. He had 4 motions from last 6 hours
Male | 3
The baby suffering loose motion may have multiple factors as a cause. These include infections, teething, and food intolerance. As for the baby, hydration is one of the priorities achieved by feeding the baby with breast milk or ORS solutions as desired. I highly suggest that you consult a pediatrician so that he/she can take care of this problem in the right manner.

I am 26 and I am 5.2 feet in height. I wat to increase 2.5-3 inches of my height. is it possible? any medical treatment or supplement or medicine? please help me.
Male | 26
I must inform you that after the age of 18-20, the growth plates in your bones usually fuse, and your bones stop growing. So it's unlikely that you can increase your height by 2.5 to 3 inches through medical treatment, supplements, or medicines.
There is also a surgical procedure called Limb lengthening but its a complex one considered as a last resort for those with severe limb length discrepancies and comes with certain risks & complications.

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.

Hello sir My name is kazmi khan age 24 height 5.9 inch Weight 58kh please say how to increase weight
Male | 24
If you want to gain weight, you will need to actively increase calorie consumption by consuming more calories than your body burns in a regular day. Additionally, you can add calories by consuming nutrient dense whole foods like nuts, avocados, and lean proteins. In fact, you can reach out to a registered dietitian or a nutritionist to get a plan suited to your personal needs. In cases of underlying diseases that are contributing to your weight gain, it is a good idea to have a consultation with an endocrinologist to conduct more thorough analysis.

Swelling may be caused by many things such as heart or kidney problems. Dehydration or malnutrition could result in hypotension. Remember to drink lots of water and eat healthily. Get plenty of rest; avoid salty foods until you’re better. If these signs do not go away soon get medical attention immediately.
