Will full bottle of povidone iodine cause toxicity?
I am 19 yr male i put full bottle of 100 ml of 10 % povidone iodine 1% available iodine in my shoes and put my both foot into it for 30 minutes then washed with water after 30 minutes the area that came in contact with povidone iodine was from ankle to sole of foot will I get iodine toxicity
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Soaking feet in povidone iodine for half an hour shouldn't cause toxicity. Washing it off afterward is normal. Stomach pain, vomiting, or metallic taste in the mouth indicate iodine toxicity. However, these symptoms are unlikely from your brief exposure. Avoid prolonged soaking in the future.

Moringa powder is best for 16 years old children
Male | 16
I suggest the parents be consulted by the pediatrician before offering Moringa powder to a 16 year old child. Even though Moringa powder is a dense resource of micronutrients, it remains unknown about its impact on children. A pediatrician can also tell the correct dosage and supervise that the health of a child is not compromised

my grandfather has been on petrinoeal dialysis for 3 years now, he is bed ridden and 92 years old, and has heart conditions, can we get an estimate of his survival days,so we as a family can get a better picture and be better prepared?
Male | 92
It is not easy to estimate a patient's survival days as they vary. It is prudent to look for advice from your grandfather's doctor who is a sub-specialist in nephrology and cardiology. They may give you a more exact status on his condition and sometimes they can also tell you about the possible complications.

Male | 10
You should first take your son to a paediatrician whose diagnosis might be more accurate and efficient because your son also suffers from asthma. Besides, the pediatrician can refer a pulmonologist in you have to. The patient shouldn't take drugs on his own, but should only use medications prescribed by a doctor.

I had runny nose , little fever , throat pain , headache and fatigue from 2 days then I took cetrizine and Augmentin 625 one tab each . Next morning I still have headache and nose is not runny anymore , is this right medicine or can u tell me what do I have and what medicine i should take
Female | 23
You might have a mild and harmless influenza if you experience these symptoms. A runny nose and sore throat are probably due to a virus. Augmentin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria but may be unnecessary if the main issue is a viral infection. Cetirizine can relieve allergy symptoms, though it doesn't address the cause. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and using acetaminophen for headaches are great approaches. If symptoms persist, it is best to see a doctor.

Hi I have a lump on my lower back and it’s been there for about a month or so and won’t go away even if I stretch, it hurts to massage
Female | 17
A lump on your lower back that's been there for a month and doesn't go away might have various causes. To be safe, you should consult a general physician or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. The lump could be due to different factors such as a cyst, lipoma, or infection. Since it's painful and doesn't respond to stretching or massage, it's best to avoid self treatment and seek medical attention.

Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
Male | 20
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.

I'm getting lite fever and sweat I consulted a doctor and I take injection for fever and cold injection but still I got sweat what happened to me
Male | 20
You seem unwell, even after taking medicine. Fever and sweating often indicate infection. Sweating keeps your body's temperature regulated. The injection's effects may take time; be patient. Stay hydrated, rest well, and make yourself comfortable. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor promptly.

Pain in throat since three months while talk and singing and do online sung for 2/3 hours daily since 2019
Female | 36
It is alarming to you that your problem with your throat while talking and singing is chronic. This demonstrates probably an infection of the throat or vocal strain. There is no substitute for a specialist examination. I would recommend visiting an ENT specialist who will be able to analyze your vocal cords and determine the real cause of your symptoms.

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.

Mere sir pain hota hai 24 ghante
Female | 16
It could be because you did not get as much water as needed, were stressed, or watched the screen for hours. Headaches can also result from sleep deprivation or too much noise. If you want to reduce your pain to a minimum, you must turn to a peaceful place to relax and drink water. Also, if it doesn't relieve the situation by then, do consider talking to a Neurologist to sort out the cause and receive an accurate diagnosis.

ICTC HIV refer why this it's not understanding
Male | 28
HIV is a virus impacting the immune system. Fatigue, weight loss, and frequent illnesses may occur. HIV spreads via blood, intimacy, or childbirth. Getting tested, using protection for intimacy, and clean needles prevent HIV. With proper medication and healthcare guidance, individuals with HIV can manage the virus effectively while maintaining good health. When discussing ICTC HIV, preventing and managing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the focus. This virus weakens the immune system, potentially causing flu-like symptoms. Regular testing, precautions during sexual contact, and avoiding shared needles are crucial preventive measures.
