Bite-related illness assessment
I got a kitten a few days ago and she bit me pretty hard on my middle finger and it cause my thumb, pointer and middle finger to tingle for a little while afterwards. I am now feeling ill and unsure if it has to do with the bite or not so I'm just trying to see if I need to go get antibiotics or some testing/ shots done. She is unvaccinated and 11 weeks old.

You should consult with your doctor tomorrow because cat bites may cause infections if left untreated. Cat bite infections are secondary to bacteria found in the cat’s mouth. I suggest consulting an infectious disease specialist.

Gas buildup, muscle strain, hormonal shifts – these could explain the symptoms. For relief, try smaller meals, light movement, and loose clothing. However, if pain persists or worsens, don't hesitate. Consult a healthcare professional who can properly assess and address the underlying issue.

Sodium level of 126 is known to be low and it may be a result of some antitubercular drugs. It is necessary to discuss the matter with the treating doctor, who can prescribe a different medication dosage or hospitalize your mother for a thorough examination.

I experience body reaction when ever I stay for long without eating,,my body start reacting while swelling with itching condition. It happens for some minutes and disappear immidiately after taking some rest,,i consulted many doctors and they tells me it is allergic reaction but this sickness is worsening,,what can I do?
Male | 35
You might have exercise-induced urticaria. With this, your body gets deprived of food. It reacts by making skin itch and swell. The body releases histamine, a substance causing allergic reactions. Your case relates to lack of food. Manage it by eating small, frequent meals. This keeps blood sugar stable. It may prevent reactions. If issue continues, see a doctor. They'll further evaluate and guide you.

Can oral herpes cause lymph nodes in groin to be swollen ? I’ve had my first outbreak about two weeks ago and just noticed two swollen lymph nodes on each side of my groin
Male | 27
Yes, oral herpes can potentially lead to swollen lymph nodes in the groin area. Lymph nodes can become enlarged and tender as part of the body's immune response to infection such as viral infections like herpes.

Sore throat chills and headache 16 year old boy
Male | 16
A 16-year-old experiencing sore throat, chills, and headache likely has an infection. His body battles the illness, causing these symptoms. Resting, hydrating, and taking pain medication if needed, helps. Gargling warm salt water can soothe throat pain. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical attention becomes important. The body's defenses fight infections, leading to unpleasant effects. Rest, fluids, and medication alleviate discomfort while the immune system overcomes the infection. But if improvement lacks, consulting a doctor ensures proper treatment.

Male | 56
Food allergies mean your body has an abnormal reaction to certain foods. Bumps, swelling, and rashes appear after eating the food. Lips may swell up. Surprisingly, commonplace foods like chicken or veggies can trigger this. Visit a doctor to do allergy tests and determine the cause. They'll help identify foods that are unsafe for you to eat.

Hello. I want to ask about the risks of taking a free blood glucose test in a health fair. How high is the risk of transmitting a disease from it? Thank you.
Other | 15
The chance of carrying a disease from a free blood sugar test taken at a health fair in most cases is small. However, it is of utmost importance that hygiene and sterilization be observed in the testing process. If you have any concerns about symptoms after a test or, in the future, visit an endocrinologist for guidance and treatment.

My weight isn't increasing I'm just exhausted
Female | 20
You're exhausted and not gaining weight. Many factors could be causing this. An overactive thyroid can drain energy, or stress and undereating can sap stamina. Make sure to eat balanced meals and get enough sleep. If the problem persists, see a doctor for a checkup. A simple exam can pinpoint the root cause, and the solution could involve medication or lifestyle changes.

At the age of 13, a person is still capable of growing taller but to some significant extent it depends on genetics. Healthy growth can be promoted through exercise and an appropriate diet. Nevertheless, if you worry about your height then it is better to visit a pediatrician or an endocrinologist who will diagnose any potential medical conditions that might impair growth.
