I have gastritis. I had been prescribed Amoxicillin tablets and i purchased accidentally capsule and consumed it, will it have a wrong affect in the body
Male | 21
For gastritis, Amoxicillin consumption in capsule instead of tablet form should not significantly affect its value. If you have doubts about the dose or the form of medication that you've taken, it's good to consult your doctor for confirmation and more instructions.

I tested positive for syphillis and begative for HIV. I’ve treated syphillis a week ago. i would want to know if I should retest for HIV or take PRePs for HIV.
Male | 27
When you have already been treated for syphilis then take a retest for HIV after six weeks. But PrEP alone is not enough. You still have to be safe while engaging in sexual intercourse.

Male | 37
The cyst may be the cause of the symptoms you have, as it seems to be the case. This is a type of cyst that evolves at the top of a buttock and it is very painful and may result in infection. It's vital to see a GP, who can accurately diagnose and treat this condition; either a General or a colorectal surgeon.

I am suffering from mumps from past two days. This is not first time, this is fifth time I had mumps. Why do I often suffered from mumps? Is there any preventive measures for mumps? Which specialist doctor Ishould consult regarding this??
Female | 36
Mumps is a virus infection. It comes in various strains. Having mumps before doesn't stop future infections. Getting vaccinated is advisable. It prevents mumps effectively. Speaking to infectious disease specialists helps. Immunologists provide guidance too. Discussing past mumps helps determine ideal prevention steps.

Is it ok to smoke a thc pen, NOT A NICOTINE VAPE, after surgery it’s been 14 days.
Male | 21
Smoking is prohibited after surgery by any mind-altering substance including THC pens. Complications in the case of smoking can also be the development of infection and delay in healing. Your surgeon will probably advise you to go smoke-free until he decides you can start smoking again.

Sore throat chills and headache 16 year old boy
Male | 16
A 16-year-old experiencing sore throat, chills, and headache likely has an infection. His body battles the illness, causing these symptoms. Resting, hydrating, and taking pain medication if needed, helps. Gargling warm salt water can soothe throat pain. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical attention becomes important. The body's defenses fight infections, leading to unpleasant effects. Rest, fluids, and medication alleviate discomfort while the immune system overcomes the infection. But if improvement lacks, consulting a doctor ensures proper treatment.

You can use a warm cloth on the affected ear, take an over-the- counter pain reliever, and avoid putting anything inside of your ear. The best thing is to periodically visit an ENT professional immediately after the symptoms set in for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
