Fever is the body's natural mechanism for fighting infections and repairing damaged cells. These are typical diseases which are frequently contracted the flu, a cold or even a urinary tract infection Make sure to drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and you can use medicine like acetaminophen to decrease your fever. If the symptoms persist or the fever outbreak becomes quite risky, contact a doctor.

Age of 8 months cat was bite me 40 minutes ago
Male | 21
If the cat broke your skin, you may feel pain, see redness, and notice swelling. Cat bites can transfer bacteria into your skin, possibly causing infection. Clean the area with soap and water, use an antiseptic, and watch for infection signs like more pain or redness. If those develop, seek medical care quickly.

Is sugar level 106.24 H is valid for medical test ?
Male | 22
The term "106.24 H" is not a standard unit of measurement for blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
If the value you mentioned, 106.24 H, is in mg/dL or mmol/L, it would be helpful to know the reference range or normal range provided by the specific laboratory or healthcare institution conducting the test.

Female | 20
You seem to have nutritional deficiencies. Iron lack makes you tired, weak, and crave non-food items like slate pencil, coal, or bricks - known as pica. Fainting, shaky fingers, fast breathing, and long periods could relate to this too. Eat iron-rich foods like leafy greens, beans, and meat for a balanced diet. This can improve your symptoms. Consider consulting a doctor regarding these concerns.

Male | 39
High blood pressure, diabetes, and infections are some of the reasons for kidney damage. The treatment will vary depending on the cause and the extent of the damage done. It is very essential to see a nephrologist, a physician who expertises kidney diseases to ensure right diagnosis and treatment. Dialysis might be a necessity, but it can be avoided at an early stage of treatment by timely care.

26 years and have been feeling tired and weak and also my heartbeat is faster
Male | 26
It looks like you could have a condition named anemia. Anemia might give you a sense of being tired, weak and having a fast heartbeat. This may occur when the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. To start feeling better, you might need to consume more iron-rich foods such as spinach and beans. In addition, make sure that you rest enough and stay hydrated. If these signs persist, seek medical attention promptly.

So back in January 13, while I was preparing for my best friend's birthday, the stray dog owned by one of our neighbors, came up to near me and almost licked me had I not looked behind my back and stopped the dog. But that's how I remember it, I am worried that I remembered it wrong, and the dog licked me. But before all that, I had taken 2 anti rabies booster shots back in January 9 and 12 respectively at an animal bite center since I already had the post exposure shots back in 2019. However, the nurse where I got the post exposure shots told me the shots expired already since it was only good for 5 years, and that I need to redo them. Which do I follow here?
Male | 21
Rabies is a serious virus illness transmitted by saliva from animals through bites or licks. It causes fever, headaches, and abnormal behaviors. Since your nurse said rabies shots last only 5 years, you should get new shots for safety. This protects against contracting rabies after exposure.

Female | 47
The medication that was prescribed to you for treatment of the H. pylori infection should be taken as recommended by your doctor. It is crucial to precisely follow the dose and time of medications for proper treatment. However, if you are unclear about the time of medication administration consult with your physician or pharmacist. On Bismol and Synthroid interactions, see an endocrinologist who can offer a comprehensive assessment as well as treatment plan.

I can't sleep well I just sleep for 2 3 hours
Female | 17
You might be experiencing difficulty in sleeping. Sleeping only for 2-3 hours is not enough. Do you feel tired, irritable, or have difficulty concentrating during the day? It may be due to stress, caffeine, or electronic devices before going to bed. Try relaxation before bedtime, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable sleeping space.

Male | 17
Having fever, cough, or headache may signify a cold or flu coming. Your body's battling infection - fever kills germs, coughing clears lungs, and headaches stem from congestion. Rest, hydrate well, and take OTC meds for relief.

I have a head wou.d and it's been glued just want to know if I can put my head on a pillow to go to sleep
Male | 30
Sleep with your head elevated above the heart level a bit to prevent opening up the wound again. Sleeping in an elevated position will prevent the swelling. You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed your head wound and follows his guidance on its treatment. In case of new symptoms or relapses, the doctor may make a referral to a neurologist or plastic surgeon for specialized care.
