General Physician
Answered on 29th Jan '25
To ease your symptoms, such as a sore throat, runny nose, or mild fever, focus on rest and hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids like water and herbal teas can keep you comfortable. Over-the-counter medications may help relieve discomfort. Warm saline gargles can soothe your throat. Avoid irritants like smoke and allergens. Most colds resolve within a week, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consider seeking professional medical advice. Your health is important, so don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider for personalized care.

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 had trouble swallowing 2 weeks back, and 3 days ago I went to Jaipur. Now am having fever continuously from 3 days when I came back to Delhi. I wonder if it's due to heat wave or some std. I have a small rash on my left leg and about 102 degree fever.
Female | 22
You may have acquired an infection while away. A temperature and eruption on your leg may indicate an infection rather than a heat rash or an STD. The trouble with swallowing earlier could have been your system’s way of trying to fight off this infection. You must go to the doctor as soon as possible and let them examine you so they can give you the right treatment for it and make you feel better.

A strange lady hugged me and she has tb would I get infected . I had my mask on and I'm so worried
Female | 22
If you were wearing a mask, it's good protection. TB is not as simple as that which is particularly followed by a brief hug. Coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fever are the main symptoms. It spreads through the air, thus, masking is the smart thing to do.

Hy please tell me a good cough medicine for 60 plus onwards
Female | 65
Coughing can be caused by different factors in older adults, such as allergies, infections, or underlying health issues. Medications, including dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, that can be bought over-the-counter, can be prescribed to alleviate the discomfort. Nonetheless, it's essential to pay close attention to the existing medical conditions and medications a patient may be taking. Also, exceptionally, one can breathe in steam from a boiling pot or shower as well as drink more water or use a humidifier to ease stinging. If your breathing problem does not disappear in a short time or gets worse, seek professional medical help for personalized advice and assessment.

I got a kitten a few days ago and she bit me pretty hard on my middle finger and it cause my thumb, pointer and middle finger to tingle for a little while afterwards. I am now feeling ill and unsure if it has to do with the bite or not so I'm just trying to see if I need to go get antibiotics or some testing/ shots done. She is unvaccinated and 11 weeks old.
Female | 30
You should consult with your doctor tomorrow because cat bites may cause infections if left untreated. Cat bite infections are secondary to bacteria found in the cat’s mouth. I suggest consulting an infectious disease specialist.

Chickenpox brings an itchy, red rash with flu-like symptoms. The varicella-zoster virus causes this infection. Over-the-counter fever and pain relievers help manage symptoms. Calamine lotion soothes itchy skin. Drinking lots of fluids and resting are crucial. Stay isolated to avoid spreading the virus to others easily.

People might consume drywall due to underlying problems such as nutritional deficiencies and a condition called pica, during which one eats non-food items. Healthcare providers are the best people to consult if any health issue occurs. You can help this habit by eating healthy snacks like fruits and veggies rather than junk food.

Fever 103.9 what do i do now
Male | 50
A fever of 103.9 is no joke. Your body is struggling to handle some kinds of infections. Apart from infections such as the flu or a bacterial illness, these are also common causes. You can reduce the fever by taking over-the-counter antipyretics such as acetaminophen, drinking lots of clear fluids and taking a rest. Then, you have no choice but to go to the doctor.

Male | 14
I would suggest neither of the medicines to be taken without a doctor's consultation. Fever of 103-104°F accompanied with the headache and vomiting is a sign of a severe infection. It is significant to consult a pediatrician as a matter of priority in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

Hello. I want to ask about the risks of taking a free blood glucose test in a health fair. How high is the risk of transmitting a disease from it? Thank you.
Other | 15
The chance of carrying a disease from a free blood sugar test taken at a health fair in most cases is small. However, it is of utmost importance that hygiene and sterilization be observed in the testing process. If you have any concerns about symptoms after a test or, in the future, visit an endocrinologist for guidance and treatment.

Your chest pain, which is more on the left side, may have several causes, such as stress, acid reflux, or not sleeping in the right position. Sometimes outside food can also cause health issues, such as weight gain. In order to manage weight, you must have a balanced diet and regular exercise. Lay off more processed and oily food. First and foremost, if the pain is increasing or there are other symptoms, it is better to meet with a doctor. Professional guidance will be the best for your health. Take care of your health!
