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.

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.

I am 20 years male, i am losing my weight more. I don't know what to do

Male | 20

Losing weight without any effort can be due to different reasons. One of the ruminations you've got to delve into is adequate food intake, and also if there are preclinical horrifying conditions like hyperthyroidism. Try to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and consult your doctor for a medical check-up to the cause of the problem to be determined.

Male | 45

A high TSH level indicates a thyroid function problem, not cancer. It means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones and this is a condition known as hypothyroidism. The usual approach is medication to help with thyroid function

What can be done to ease ear infection until we see the specialist

Male | 1

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.
