I fainted on Sunday and believe I hit my head on the concrete. Ever since then I’ve had a headache and sensitivity to light. I tried to make an appointment with the doctor but they are booked until Friday. What precautious should I take

In case you notice any worsening symptoms, including loss of consciousness; blurred vision, or vomiting seek medical help immediately. Because you hurt the head, this could be a symptom of concussion and will need going to see doctor as soon. It is advisable that you visit a neurologist for additional assessment and treatment alternatives.

Accidentally swallowing a cool lip pouch or similar small object is generally not a cause for major concern. Your body should naturally pass it through the digestive system.

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.

I have been having dull and achey pain in my chest. I can feel a pull when i lean my neck to the right. Should i see a doctor
Female | 48
You may be dealing with chest and neck discomfort. The dull, achy chest pain and feeling of a pull when moving your neck to the right could indicate muscle strain or inflammation. This might happen if you recently worked out vigorously or have poor posture. To ease the soreness, rest your body. Don't strain your neck. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to consult a doctor for guidance.

Female | 37
It’s important to recognize that discomfort beneath the left breast can stem from various causes, including muscle strain, gastrointestinal issues, or even heart-related concerns. While rest and over-the-counter pain relievers may provide relief, it’s essential to listen to your body. If discomfort persists or worsens, please seek medical attention. A physician will be able to conduct a proper assessment and determine the underlying cause, ensuring the best care and guidance tailored to your needs.

Fever above 103 & 104 from yesterday night. Consumed calpol but is not reduced.
Male | 61
A fever of 103 to 104 indicates an infection, such as the flu, a bacterial infection, or a urinary tract infection. Taking Calpol can help, but if it doesn't, you might need a different medication. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, rest, and stay cool. If the fever doesn't decrease, seek medical help.

Morning urine can it contains protein urine test and I see protein and rest day it is negativt why is that mean urine is more concentrated
Male | 24
This could probably occur because of the high concentration of the urine. In the morning, urine concentrate contains a higher concentration of proteins as compared to diluted samples that have been taken intermittently. The best thing to do is to see a nephrologist for proper assessment and management.

Hi , I have this huge pain on top my head , with a weird sensation , i drank 5mg of Urbanol for stress , can I drink am Adcodol?
Female | 21
The sensation you're experiencing could be related to tension or stress, and it's important to approach this situation carefully. Mixing medications, even over-the-counter ones like Adcodol, with Urbanol can lead to unwanted effects, so it's best to avoid taking them together without professional guidance. I recommend you consult a physician for personalized advice. Ensuring you stay hydrated and finding a calming activity might help alleviate some discomfort.

My father got viral infection last month and lost 8 kgs weight...fever lasted for only 3 days and then after leg pain and swelling happened ...and suffered from constipation so dctr gave milk of magnesia to cure constipation...now constipation got relieved...is weight loss okay or we need to check with dct?
Male | 54
It's good that your father's constipation is better now. However, losing weight after a viral infection is expected as the body manages to defend against the infection. Mucous membrane pain and swelling might be due to the inflammation response of the body to the virus. Since the constipation is better and the fever is gone, it's okay. If the weight loss persists or if any new symptoms develop, see your doctor.

Male | 41
You seem to have caught a viral illness - the common cold or flu. Fever, body pains - these symptoms point to that. But don't worry, it'll pass. Over-the-counter meds like acetaminophen, ibuprofen can help. They reduce fever and ease body pains. Follow dosage instructions carefully. Also, rest up and drink lots of fluids.

Female | 35
Taking more than the prescribed dose of paracetamol can be one of the reasons why the liver is not functioning well and it can be very dangerous. The symptoms of an overdose might display rather quickly, some being nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and confusion. Time is very important. If you suspect that an overdose has occurred, please consult a physician right away, as they can give you the much-needed care and treatment.

Im 5 feet 7 inch tall and i want to gain at least 4 inchs is it possible
Male | 25
Gaining 4 inches in height after reaching adulthood is highly unlikely and practically impossible through natural means.. While there are surgical procedures like Limb lengthening that can increase height artificially, they are highly invasive, expensive, and carry significant risks, making them an unsuitable option for most people. Moreover, 4 inches of heught increase cannot be gauranteed.
