Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.

Feel laziness and whole body pain all the time
Male | 25
Experiencing both a problem with energy and a lot of pain all over the body is hard. One of the reasons might be sleeping little hours, skipping meals, or not doing enough work. On the other hand, stress is also a significant factor in this. Apart from this, eat well, have enough sleep, and work out to get rid of this feeling. Go to a doctor who will help you with the situation.

The symptoms you have mentioned strongly imply either a systematic iron or vitamin B12 deficiency. The symptoms are fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and other problems. If the injections fail, increasing dietary intake of iron-rich foods like spinach, and lentils, and vitamin B12 sources like eggs, dairy, or fortified cereals is essential. Regularly with consumption of these nutrients, you will feel better.

Symptoms like the flu, muscle aches, weight reduction, vomiting, diarrhea, and now high blood pressure are a cause for concern. These signs could be brought on by several things including seasonal influenza, change in diet, stress, or even underlying medical issues. It’s great that you got tested for HIV but it’s important to keep looking for what else may be causing your ailment.

Sore throat chills and headache 16 year old boy
Male | 16
A 16-year-old experiencing sore throat, chills, and headache likely has an infection. His body battles the illness, causing these symptoms. Resting, hydrating, and taking pain medication if needed, helps. Gargling warm salt water can soothe throat pain. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical attention becomes important. The body's defenses fight infections, leading to unpleasant effects. Rest, fluids, and medication alleviate discomfort while the immune system overcomes the infection. But if improvement lacks, consulting a doctor ensures proper treatment.
