General Physician
Answered on 22nd July '24
Rarely do leech bites become problematic using blockage in the arteries and veins; this is due to the properties contained in the leech saliva that naturally preclude the formation of clots. Nevertheless, the severe reactions to leech bites still may occur: an important consequence of the reactions is manifested as swelling and inflammation. Incidents of leeches entering the urinary bladder of males are a barely rare occurrence, but if that happens, it will stimulate infection problems, while more severe cases can lead to kidney failure. If you fear that a leech bite has bitten you or if you have any unusual symptoms, the best thing to do is to see a doctor soon.

Patient has HTC lvl 54 and have cracked heels and feels pain in neck muscles
Male | 20
Having cracked feet and sore neck muscles can sometimes mean your body is low in iron. Iron is an important mineral. Your HTC level of 54 could point to an iron deficiency too. Eating foods like spinach and beans can help boost your iron levels. Getting advice from an expert who understands nutrition is wise.

How long does a person who had chicken pox once now residing with a chicken pox patient, can be a carrier of the virus?
Female | 31
Chickenpox is highly contagious. The virus spreads easily through proximity to an infected individual. Even if someone had chickenpox previously, they can potentially carry it again. Fever, itchy rash, and other symptoms may arise. Practicing good hygiene like frequent handwashing helps prevent transmission. Avoiding direct contact with infected persons is crucial.

We have swineflu and my GP Prescribed me mypaid forte, 2 pills 3 times a day. I allready had my pills For the evening, but I forgot I took it. Then now walking past it for some reason I took another one - but as I swallowed 1 pull I realised that I allready took this pill. Is it dangerous? I tried to vomit but could not get it out.

Taking an extra dose of medication, especially in this case, can be potentially dangerous and may lead to overdose or adverse reactions. Swine flu is a serious viral infection, and taking medication as prescribed is crucial for proper treatment. However, taking more than the prescribed dose can lead to harmful side effects.

Female | 20
It was a good decision to get the rabies vaccination after the first cat scratch. Since the blood test was missed after the second scratch, it's recommended to get a second vaccination as a precaution. Even if the cat seems healthy, rabies can take time to show symptoms.

A rabid dog was found and taken in captive from the IIT Bombay campus on 16th of March. We visited the campus on 24th March, where my three year old daughter fell down on the street and got a minor scratch on her knee which was covered with her pant. Now is there a possibility that she can get rabies from the virus that could have been on the road surface from the drooling of the animal?
Female | 3
The probability of her catching rabies from a scratch on her knee which occurred because of a fall on the road pavement is very low. While it is advised to consult a pediatrician whenever you have any questions about your child`s health.
