Could Headache and Fever After Washing Face Indicate Naegleria Fowleri?
I am a male 13 years old. I washed my face 2 days earlier and now I have a headache and fever. Can this be naegleria fowleri?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Though Naegleria fowleri is a severe brain infection, the chances of your headache and fever being caused by it are minimal. But you still need to see a specialist in infectious diseases to find out the cause of your symptoms and prescribe adequate treatment.

Hello my mother recently has been in a lot of pain and has been having these attacks and her vision has been completely blurred. She ended up finding out she had really high glucose . She’s been starving herself and not eating lately because she’s scared . Is there any advice you could possibly give me to help my mother out?
Female | 40
It's important that your mother immediately gets an endocrinologist who can attend to her signs and symptoms. High blood sugar levels may point to diabetes that cannot be controlled and needs to be adequately controlled.

Can I take Moringa tea and still take my hiv drugs at night
Female | 21
Moringa may sometimes interfere with how the body absorbs HIV drugs, potentially reducing their effectiveness. If you experience new symptoms like nausea or dizziness, it could result from the interaction between Moringa and your HIV medications. Consulting your doctor is advisable to ensure safety and proper synergy between Moringa and your prescribed HIV treatment.

I am a 15 year old boy and recently found a little ball in front of my left testicle. Is it normal?
Male | 15
It seems like you might have an enlarged lymph node, which can be similar to a small egg in front of your left testicle. This is possibly caused by infections or inflammation in the area. Do not touch it too much. Take it easy and get it checked by a urologist immediately.

I am 26 and I am 5.2 feet in height. I wat to increase 2.5-3 inches of my height. is it possible? any medical treatment or supplement or medicine? please help me.
Male | 26
I must inform you that after the age of 18-20, the growth plates in your bones usually fuse, and your bones stop growing. So it's unlikely that you can increase your height by 2.5 to 3 inches through medical treatment, supplements, or medicines.
There is also a surgical procedure called Limb lengthening but its a complex one considered as a last resort for those with severe limb length discrepancies and comes with certain risks & complications.

Small white bump back side of the toung?
Male | 24
These are most likely to be either enlarged papillae or tonsilloliths. Enlarged papillae are a normal variant, whereas tonsilloliths are calcified deposits which can cause halitosis and discomfort. If you have any concerns or symptoms, it is advisable to visit an ENT specialist for an evaluation.

How long will 3 mg melatonin keep me asleep
Female | 23
melatonin should be seen as facilitating sleep rather than as an inducing sleep medication. The result is not the same for everyone who is using 3 mg of melatonin, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay asleep after taking the dosage. For sleep-related diseases, always consult a sleep specialist.

Kya kaner ka ek fal khane se death ho sakti he
महिला | 23
No, I suppose that one accidentally eating a piece of a kaner (oleander) fruit is not very likely to kill. Yet, it is a very poisonous plant and any of its parts will cause very severe symptoms e.g. vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heartbeat, or even death. If you or somebody associated with you accidentally partakes in the substance of the plant kaner, then first aid treatment is a must. Please see a gastroenterologist or go to the emergency room as early as possible.

Patient experienced pain after carrying a child on her shoulder and caused bruising in the right side of her collar near the neckline. until the bruising created a bump and eventually ruptured. The injury has healed yet after a year a change occurred where the scarring tissue is now bulging and causing discomfort to the patient
Female | 18
It looks like the person has a hernia that is linked to the previous injury. I would suggest getting an appointment with a general surgery expert for further management and evaluation of that condition.
