It doesn't necessarily mean you have a specific condition. The red tip and white base on your fingernails may be caused by factors such as trauma, nail biting, or even normal variation in nail pigmentation. Regarding your past kidney infection and having less blood in your body, its best to discuss these concerns with your doctor.

So the thing is I just want to know that I got 4 dozes of rabies vaccine and the dose was completed 9 days ago and i was exposed to a dog lick on my wound so do I have to get another dose and how long after can I get another dose
Female | 14
You finished your rabies shots just 9 days prior, and then a dog licked your wound. No need for more shots at the moment. It's understandable to feel worried still. Keep an eye out for fever, headaches, or muscle aches though. If any of those crop up, check back in with your vaccine doctor. They can determine if extra doses are necessary for you.

I feel like something is biting me at the same spot daily at night for few minutes but nothing's there
Male | 27
Perhaps what you are feeling is what is known as formication - a condition in which one has the subjective sensation of being crawled or bitten by some creature. It could be caused by many other medical conditions, such as anxiety, diabetes, or neurological disorders. I recommend that you should go see a dermatologist or a medical neurologist for further diagnosis.

Hi I've been experiencing severe insomnia for some days now and everytime I go to sleep I just lie there. When its during the day I think about going to sleep that when I eventually go to sleep I don't sleep at all. I don't have access to a psychatrist and I've just bought sleeping meds to take today- please help
Female | 29
I cannot recommend any medications online.. however, there are some self help techniques you can try. Find a consistent sleep schedule, create a sleep friendly environment, practice relaxation techniques, limit screen time before bed and establish a bedtime routine. Self medication is not recommended so it's best to seek professional medical advice.

Male | 24
Your friend must be going through a troubling physiological state. Sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, headache, nosebleed, cough, and even the blood and mucus signs can indicate a particular disease. Make it an obligation to see a healthcare specialist as soon as possible. These symptoms may be due to biological complications or some causatives such as infections and high blood pressure upon which the treatment sits. A doctor should examine what is wrong with him and provide the treatment.

I got a very little dog cut without bleed,should I take vaccine
Male | 16
If the cut is a shallow one and has not bled, you should not take any risk and not get vaccinated. It is a good idea to keep the wound free from all dirt and also be careful for any indication of infection – redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, you had better go to a doctor or a veterinarian if the job was done by you.

Male | 25
It is possible that a second episode can occur if you are still weak. The indications comprise fever, joint pain, muscle pain, headache, nausea, and rash. The primary source is getting bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. Instead, to aid in easing the conditions, it is necessary to slow down, drink enough fluids, and use painkillers. In case the symptoms are getting worse, or last for a longer time, please get medical treatment.
