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

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.

I touched a street dog who drooled over my hand. Should I be worried?

Female | 30

The problem is more possible bacteria or viruses from the dog's saliva in the mouth. You might exhibit rash, swelling, or pain in your hand. For safety, then, make sure you wash your hands with soap and water, the guideline of washing the hands for 20 minutes. If you find anything unusual call your parents or seek medical help as an initial step.

I have a really bad migraine

Female | 35

Migraine headaches can be disabling. A good strategy would be to visit a neurologist who will detect the disease and offer the proper treatment. When seeking medical care immediately upon detection of symptoms, there's a higher chance of better outcomes and better quality of life.

My 10 year old son, has a very chesty cough. He had this cough 4 weeks ago it subsided and now he has woken up today with it. Dry cough no tightness in the chest, a bit breathless. He suffers with Chronic Migraines he takes Sumatriptan upon bad migraines. He also suffers with asthma

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.

Do you smell toast when you have a stroke?

Female | 32

Olfactory hallucinations could also appear where one sneezes or smells something burning; like toast, when nothing is actually cooking near. This can be in the context of a stroke and other neurological events. But this is not a typical or consistent sign of stroke. The commonest presenting symptoms of a stroke include sudden numbness or weakness, on the one hand and confussion, difficulty in speaking , vision problems dizziness loss order to balance. In case you develop any of the mentioned symptoms or are worried that it might be stroke, taking immediate treatment from a neurologist becomes crucial. In such situations, quick treatment is vital.

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.

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.

Male | 18

Taking 14 paracetamol tablets at once can be dangerous and can lead to liver damage or failure. Seek medical attention immediately if you are experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

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.
