Chicken Pox Carrier Risk Between Patients
How long does a person who had chicken pox once now residing with a chicken pox patient, can be a carrier of the virus?
General Physician
Answered on 26th June '24
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.

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.

You should avoid the second dose of the Covishield vaccine as probably you are allergic to one of its constituents. You can also visit a General Physician for further investigation of your allergy.

If stray dog licks my food I eat that food after one hour and also I have a ulcer in mouth is there chances of getting rabies
Male | 23
Stray dogs don't spread rabies through food. Rabies is tough to catch, even if an infected dog licks food you later eat. Having a mouth ulcer won't raise your risk. Still, watch for fever, headache, and muscle aches - signs you'll need prompt medical attention. Chances are extremely low.

Female | 23
It is possible that the small swollen lumps form as result of virus or inflammation in your throat and mouth. The ear pain could be associated with such a problem. It is suggested that you get yourself checked by an ENT specialist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I'm 10 years old of age and I accidentally smoked a vape and I'm scared to vomit what do I do?
Female | 10
I am worried by the fact that you tried smoking a vape at such a young age. Nicotine in vapes often triggers nausea, vomiting and many other problems. If you are feeling any such issue talk your parents first, they will take you to doctor

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours
Female | 17
You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.

Male | 26
Hi, it's great to hear that you have taken precautionary measures. However, it's important to remember that prophylaxis injections are not 100% effective and do not protect against all types of STDs. If you are experiencing any symptoms or have concerns about your sexual health, it's important to visit a specialist in sexual health for further evaluation and tests.

I had bppv since last week from 18'th Feb 2024 diagnosed by a doctor and was prescribed vertin 10 mg took it for 5 days still had slight dizziness so he increased my doze to vertin 16 I have been taking it from past 2 days and now have no signs or symptoms of bppv should I continue taking vertin 16 ?
Female | 17
It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

Can stem cell therapy cure kidney disease 100%
Male | 41
Stem cell therapy shows promise for treating kidney disease, but its ability to cure the condition 100% is not guaranteed. Factors like the type of kidney disease, patient's health, and treatment approach play a role. While there have been positive results, realistic expectations and consultation with specialists are important due to ongoing research in this field.

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible
Male | 25
Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.

I was consulting a sangoma(witchdoctor) who gave me something to drink over a course of four months. Now i cant feel the effects of my medication or any other drugs for that matter. What could have been in the drink and how do I counter it?
Male | 20
The beverage you had from the traditional healer might have had substances that blocked your body from taking in or reacting to drugs. Sometimes specific plants or chemicals can do this. The things you are going through like not being affected by medication could be because of this blockage. I suggest you stop taking the beverage at once and go to see a doctor. They will be able to examine you and give you the right treatment.

I stapled my thumb at work on Friday. (Preschool classroom, the staples had briefly fallen on the floor prior). It was in there pretty well. I pulled it out, it did bleed, I cleaned it out with soapy water and then 50% isopropyl alcohol. I have not gotten a tetanus vaccine booster in the last 10 years. I have a doctor appointment on Monday. If I have been exposed to tetanus, will it be too late for me to get a booster? What are the chances I could have it now?
Female | 34
I urge you to see a doctor immediately. Tetanus toxoid is required to be administered within 5 days of injury like the one you have to prevent the disease. It is hard to say if the person gets tetanus or not without biomedical proof. You need to see a doctor who is a specialist in infectious diseases.

i am 31 years old I have high blood pressure this time I'm cough and cold can use cofryl syrup
Male | 31
Coughs and colds are annoying, especially with high blood pressure. Cofryl syrup is not a good choice since it has some ingredients that might raise your blood pressure. To relieve your cough, you can try warm drinks and rest. But if your cold becomes worse or does not go away, it is better to see a doctor.
