Can I get HIV from contaminated needle poke?
Hi doc.. can u get HIV through blood draw if the new syringe ( needle + syringe set packed) if someone poke through a infected needle with hiv blood?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Getting HIV from blood drawn with new needles is really hard. HIV doesn't last long outside bodies. If you poked yourself with used HIV blood needles, there's a risk though. HIV symptoms are like flu: very tired, swollen glands. So always use fresh needles and syringes!

So the thing is I just want to know that I got 4 dozes of rabies vaccine and the dose was completed 9 days ago and i was exposed to a dog lick on my wound so do I have to get another dose and how long after can I get another dose
Female | 14
You finished your rabies shots just 9 days prior, and then a dog licked your wound. No need for more shots at the moment. It's understandable to feel worried still. Keep an eye out for fever, headaches, or muscle aches though. If any of those crop up, check back in with your vaccine doctor. They can determine if extra doses are necessary for you.

Koi adami 2 ya more than 2 injection ko mix kr ke oral hi pi le tho kya hoga
Male | 20
Consuming or drinking more than 2 injection mixtures is quite harmful. It can lead to a variety of symptoms including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and even difficulty in breathing. Such a situation occurs since the injections are specifically designed to be inserted into the body in a certain manner. If this happens, call the emergency services and get help right away.

My mom of age 62 has normal BP range but feels tired now and then.Sometimes she is fine while some other time she feels tired.So why is this happening?
Female | 62
It could be related to stress, insufficient sleep, or lifestyle and diet changes. Besides, endocrine changes or mild dehydration could also contribute to fatigue. Ask her to let her have time to rest, keep hydrated, and eat balanced meals, then encourage her to regularly exercise this can enhance the energy levels of an individual. If the tiredness does not subside or even worsens, my advice is to go to an expert and let him/her check underlying health issues.

I want to increase my height
Female | 24
Your genes control most of it. Short parents often mean you won't tower. Lacking nutrients when young might slow growth too. Eating right with exercise allows maximum possible height.

I got a very little dog cut without bleed,should I take vaccine
Male | 16
If the cut is a shallow one and has not bled, you should not take any risk and not get vaccinated. It is a good idea to keep the wound free from all dirt and also be careful for any indication of infection – redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, you had better go to a doctor or a veterinarian if the job was done by you.

My weight isn't increasing I'm just exhausted
Female | 20
You're exhausted and not gaining weight. Many factors could be causing this. An overactive thyroid can drain energy, or stress and undereating can sap stamina. Make sure to eat balanced meals and get enough sleep. If the problem persists, see a doctor for a checkup. A simple exam can pinpoint the root cause, and the solution could involve medication or lifestyle changes.

Had fever on Friday.. Fever Went off by Saturday and not able to eat properly..
Male | 50
It seems you had a minor infection that caused the fever. Fever is your body’s way of fighting germs, so it's good that it went away on Saturday. However, the infection might be affecting your appetite. Drink plenty of fluids and try light meals like soup, biscuits, or fruits. If the issue continues or you feel worse, see a doctor promptly.

Hello I'm from Surat can I gain 3inch in hight with the surgery? Do you also have a lon method surgery n how much will it cost?
Male | 31
Once a person has reached their full adult height, there is no surgical procedure or medical intervention to significantly increase it. Limb lengthening surgeries are complex, risky, and typically reserved for medical conditions, not for cosmetic height increase.
