Should a vegetarian teen take creatine for weight gain?
I am 18 years old and have joined gym since a year. I am 6.2 feet tall and I think this to be the reason for not gained weight. My current weight is 64.I have been using whey protein from 6 months but no result. I am vegetarian and eating high calorie food still unable to gain weight. Do you recommend me to take creatine and is it totally safe as a late teen

Answered on 23rd May '24
It would be better if you consulted a nutritionist or dietitian to get an individualized meal plan. When you are 6.2 feet tall, it does not mean that weight gain is impossible. It would rule out or treat other underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorder, metabolic disease. Consult a specialist before taking creatine or any other supplement, in order to make sure it is safe for you.

I was bitten by a dog an year ago. I visited the doctor and he said it isn't dangerous and I should get 5 injections. But I only got the 4 of them, well I wasn't very worried about it because I thought It is okay but a few days ago when I shared this story with my fellows. They started to give me weird thoughts like you should've gotten all the injections. Its going to kill you etc and now I am starting to get really worries. Well, should I consult the doctor again and get the last injection or what should I do can you please give me any advive

Dog bites can introduce harmful bacteria. All recommended injections after a bite are crucial. They prevent potential infections. Missing the last dose raises risk for later infection development. Your consultation and final injection ensure health. Consult your doctor and complete the process.

Iam 41 years old I have fever last 5days. Am using dolo 650 tab but not to reduce fever
Male | 41
A fever that lasts for five days despite taking Dolo 650 tablets is concerning. Fevers can be caused by infections, so it’s important to figure out the root cause. Other symptoms like cough, sore throat, or body aches could provide more clues. I advise you to see a doctor for an accurate evaluation and treatment. Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest in the meantime.

Male | 29
A variety of reasons might cause headaches, such as stress, lack of sleep, or insufficient water intake. In addition, being unhappy is another robust reason, such as when an individual is overwhelmed by things or just sad. It's really good to drink lots of water, use breathing techniques, and get enough sleep. Sometimes, counselling with someone who you confide in might be helpful as well.
