Can i smoke when i have typhoid? I am stable now and not getting any fever. I am going through injection course and it ends today.
Male | 19
It's better if you refrain from smoking immediately after recovering.. Let your body heal as smoking can weaken your immune system more.

Male | 18
The presence of nausea, headache, and dizziness as symptoms can be linked to diseases such as tumor formation. These complaints can also be indicative of other conditions than primary hypothyroidism. Seeing a neurologist is important in this regard to rule out the possible causes of the symptoms and receive the required treatment.

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.

My father got viral infection last month and lost 8 kgs weight...fever lasted for only 3 days and then after leg pain and swelling happened ...and suffered from constipation so dctr gave milk of magnesia to cure constipation...now constipation got relieved...is weight loss okay or we need to check with dct?
Male | 54
It's good that your father's constipation is better now. However, losing weight after a viral infection is expected as the body manages to defend against the infection. Mucous membrane pain and swelling might be due to the inflammation response of the body to the virus. Since the constipation is better and the fever is gone, it's okay. If the weight loss persists or if any new symptoms develop, see your doctor.

My food is simple food like chicken ,vegetable ,lentils type
Male | 56
Food allergies mean your body has an abnormal reaction to certain foods. Bumps, swelling, and rashes appear after eating the food. Lips may swell up. Surprisingly, commonplace foods like chicken or veggies can trigger this. Visit a doctor to do allergy tests and determine the cause. They'll help identify foods that are unsafe for you to eat.

Hi, I had scarlet fever and stoped taking antibiotics a week ago, now I am sick again. I have a fever and pain in my throat when i swallow. Could it be that my scarlet fever came back after a week?
Female | 17
You might have a throat infection after scarlet fever. Fever and throat pain come from bacteria causing a new infection. Not scarlet fever again, but a different one. Drink fluids, rest well, and use throat lozenges for pain relief. See a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Male | 17
Based on the things you feel, it seems you might have the flu. Sickness from flu comes from a tiny germ. You can take pills like paracetamol to help make the body less hot and have less ache. These common pills help make the flu better. Rest a lot too. Drink plenty of water and eat light, good foods. If you still feel sick, talk to a doctor.

I am 20 years male, i am losing my weight more. I don't know what to do
Male | 20
Losing weight without any effort can be due to different reasons. One of the ruminations you've got to delve into is adequate food intake, and also if there are preclinical horrifying conditions like hyperthyroidism. Try to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and consult your doctor for a medical check-up to the cause of the problem to be determined.

Yes, buprenorphine can be found in blood tests. But it depends on the type of test your employer will be conducting with you. You have to inform your employer about the medications you may be taking. When it comes to questions concerning the nature of the test, it is advisable to reach out to a medical practitioner for clarifications, a psychiatrist or an addiction specialist being the best.

I m getting fever after 2 month with low grade temperatures
Female | 32
Your body temperature rises a bit. Infections, sometimes, linger causing fever to come and go. Tiredness or weakness might accompany this. Rest well and drink plenty of liquids. But, if fever persists or intensifies, see a doctor. They can identify the issue and provide proper treatment.
