There are many reasons to rule out here. All these symptoms are a sign of gut dysbiosis (gut issues are present like acidity, bloating) her metabolism has gone down, hence forth the digestive capacity has reduced causing gut issues. Body pain is all due to nutritional deficiencies. She might be definitely low on Vitamin D, B12, iron, calcium and low protein levels in the body. She is losing lot of muscle mass due to these Deficiencies, that is why there is unintentional weight reduction. Please get her full body check up done. You are always free to connect with me to cater her dietary needs.

You shouldn't have alcohol and such foods as high-fat meals or grapefruit juice since sometimes, they may interact with many medications. It is also advisable to discuss with your health care provider in case of any anxiety or doubts concerning your medication.

I feel dizziness and nausea followed by small burning sensation in chest and small pain
Male | 25
Feeling dizzy, nauseous with a little burn in your chest, and some pain might mean you have acid reflux. This happens when your stomach acid goes back up into your food pipe. Eat small meals, avoid spicy foods, and don't lie down right after eating. Also, try not to eat too close to bedtime. Drink water and eat slowly.

I had protected sex 2 weeks ago and now I am having a cold, is it possible that I might have HIV
Male | 24
Having a cold two weeks after protected sex does not necessarily indicate HIV infection. HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. The symptoms you're experiencing could be caused by various factors, so it's best to consult your doctor.

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.

Sir My age is 15 years . I want to gain weight . So can I use creatine as a Side source of energy for gaining weight of my body .
Male | 15
You are still growing up. Creatine helps athletes play sports better. It does not help you gain weight. You should eat healthy foods and exercise a lot instead. That will help you gain weight slowly and safely. You need to be patient. Your body will grow over time.

Female | 19
If you have fully completed the ARV program and were given your last vaccine dose less than three months ago then there is no need to take such a vaccination again. But if you have bitten or scratched any animal suspected of having the rabies virus, then immediately consult a physician and go to an infectious diseases specialist for treatment.

Hello! After a common cold I have tinnitus. My doctor said the ear nerve is the problem and made a therapy plan with infusions of antibiotics and dexametason for 5 days. After the 2nd one there is no improvement. Im not sure if this is the right therapy for my problem
Female | 18
It should be noted that tinnitus may manifest itself after a cold because of the inflammation in the middle ear. But the treatment plan that you offer seems adequate. In this regard, it is recommended to have all the antibiotics and dexamethasone. In case of absence of any improvements, you should see your ENT specialist for additional evaluation and treatment.

A fever can be a sign that your immune system is fighting an infection such as a cold or the flu which are common viruses. A lot of fluid intake, a lot of rest, and acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever reduction are all necessary. If the fever persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical attention.

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.
