What Remedy Should You Use for a Sore Throat and Neck Nodule?
Hi, my daughter (18 yrs) noticed a nodule towards the back of her neck below her right ear, about 4 days back. It has since developed into a sore throat and productive cough. Please advise a suitable remedy. Thank you!

It could be a lymph node or a cyst, and a sore throat and cough could be unrelated or just the symptoms of a contraction. Please talk to a ENT doctor

I have been packing my sons pilonidal cyst wound for 11 days, twice a day. We have gotten to the point where the cyst opening is so small I can barely put gauze in there. Currently there is no drainage, redness, or smell is this normal? I understand that it needs to heal from the inside out, but is it normal to have it so difficult to pack?
Male | 23
Consult your doctor for specific advice on your son's pilonidal cyst wound. Reduced drainage, redness, and smell may indicate healing, still monitoring is required. Difficulty in packing as the wound shrinks is normal. If you have any concerns or or see signs of infection consult your doctor quickly. Follow their instructions for proper care.

Excessive hiccups is troubling me too much.Please give some remedies.
Male | 25
Hiccups are annoying, but there are things you can do. The diaphragm muscle contracts suddenly, maybe from eating fast, gulping air, or getting thrilled. To help hiccups stop, inhale slowly and deeply, sip cold water, or hold your breath briefly. These easy fixes usually work!

Can I give my 7 months baby Dexamethasone? What is the required dose?
Female | 7
Not recommended to give Dexamethasone to your 7 month old unless you consult a pediatrician or a specialist. Dexamethasone is a steroid drug that is used to treat a variety of conditions, but its use in infants needs to be done after careful consideration of the dosage and side effects. Please consult a pediatrician for advice on your baby's specific case and treatment options.

I was bitten by a dog an year ago. I visited the doctor and he said it isn't dangerous and I should get 5 injections. But I only got the 4 of them, well I wasn't very worried about it because I thought It is okay but a few days ago when I shared this story with my fellows. They started to give me weird thoughts like you should've gotten all the injections. Its going to kill you etc and now I am starting to get really worries. Well, should I consult the doctor again and get the last injection or what should I do can you please give me any advive
Female | 17
Dog bites can introduce harmful bacteria. All recommended injections after a bite are crucial. They prevent potential infections. Missing the last dose raises risk for later infection development. Your consultation and final injection ensure health. Consult your doctor and complete the process.

1.Can I wash my hair and bath in dengue If yes then by cold or hot water 2.from the end of third day my pain goes away and fever also not happen in dengue is it a miracle to recover in 3 days
Female | 23
Washing hair and bathing with lukewarm (not too hot/cold) water is fine if you have dengue. Three days without fever or pain might mean you're improving. High fever, awful muscle/joint aches, rashes - typical dengue signs. Rest up, hydrate, and check with a doctor if concerned.

why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?
Male | 23
The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

I feel like something is biting me at the same spot daily at night for few minutes but nothing's there
Male | 27
Perhaps what you are feeling is what is known as formication - a condition in which one has the subjective sensation of being crawled or bitten by some creature. It could be caused by many other medical conditions, such as anxiety, diabetes, or neurological disorders. I recommend that you should go see a dermatologist or a medical neurologist for further diagnosis.

Having a fever for over 45 days isn't good. This needs medical help. A fever lasting so long could mean a serious health issue. Maybe it's infections like tuberculosis or bacterial endocarditis. It's crucial to see a doctor right away for diagnosis and treatment. Long fevers can harm the body.

My husband is an IV user and his left arm has a bunch of open sores and it's swollen and appears to be infected. 3 days ago he started to get b head aches but he refuses to see a doctor. Is there anything at home I can do for him
Male | 50
Your husband's arm is in a bad state. The open sores and swelling could be a sign of an infection. If he's also experiencing headaches, things could get worse. Infections can be spread quickly! At home, you can help by cleaning the sores gently with warm water and soap, then covering them with band-aids. But he should see a doctor as soon as possible because infections can be dangerous.

I am a 25 year old male and I have headache, sore throat, body pain and fever since yesterday. I have taken azinthromyacin antibiotics. But nothing yet. What could be the problem?
Male | 25
Based on what you have told me like a headache, a sore throat, muscle aches, and a fever it sounds like you might have flu, a viral infection. Antibiotics such as azithromycin won’t help because antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses; therefore they will do nothing for you if this is influenza. The only things to do for now are rest in bed all day with clear liquids (water) to drink while taking painkillers such as aspirin so that one can sleep comfortably through these unpleasant symptoms but should any of them become severe or last more than a week then please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
