I just got out of the hospital and need some advice. My bladder got emptied with a catheter. Can I have a glass of wine with dinner?
Male | 76
With a catheter, your body is more vulnerable, so drinking alcohol isn't wise. Booze irritates the bladder, causing extra discomfort. Drink water or juice instead, for now. Allow your system to rest and recovery time.

Female | 27
If your cat hasn’t had a rabies vaccine, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Rabies is a serious disease that can be spread by animal bites. It’s better to be safe and get checked out by a doctor. They will determine if you need additional shots or not.

Do i need to get revaccination if a vaccinated dog against rabies bit me under span of 5 months , i was already vaccinated.
Male | 23
Did you know that if you're bitten by a dog that was already vaccinated and you're also vaccinated it's still a good idea to see a doctor? Rabies virus is a fatal virus that can also be spread through biting, but it is rare. In case you didn't know, always get a revaccination because it might still be enough for your safety. You can have a fever, headache, and be disoriented when rabies strikes. In such a situation, visit a healthcare provider.

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.

last night after having a margarita & hitting my weed pen a few times, i began feeling extremely nauseous. i went to the bathroom where the nausea worsened & my anxiety began to get bad. i started pacing back & forth & taking deep breaths to calm down. as the nausea got worse i started getting really lightheaded & felt like i had to lay down. i layed down in the bathroom & my friends said i was super pale & extremely sweaty. what happened?
Female | 20
It's possible that the ALCOHOL and weed caused nausea and dizziness.. When consumed in large amounts, both substances can cause low blood pressure, which can lead to feeling lightheaded and sweaty.. Anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.. The best course of action is to avoid excessive alcohol and any such products use and seek medical attention if symptoms persist...

Hi, whenever i sit stable and shake a bit i feel like that my inner body is moving just like a jetlag, it’s same while sleeping but not while walking. What would be the problem?
Male | 26
This dizziness, called vertigo, often stems from inner ear issues. Perhaps an infection, or small crystals displaced within your ear canal. Specific head motions can trigger these sensations. It's crucial to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.

So I had sepsis back in August of 2023 I have fully recovered since then and was wondering is it safe to get a piercing
Female | 19
It is recommended to wait at least a year after recovering from sepsis before getting a piercing. This is to ensure that your immune system has fully recovered and can handle any potential infections. It is also advised to consult with an immunologist or infectious disease specialist before getting a piercing to ensure that it is safe for you.

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.

My son is booked in for some immunisations, were going abroad to turkey and wanted him to have the rabies jab and hepatitis A. He’s 16 months old and the doctors will not give him the Rabies jab due to him being too young ?
Male | 2
I suggest that should not get the rabies vaccine till they are one year old, at least. But, in some cases, the vaccine can sometimes be injected into six-week-old infants. It is strongly recommended that you consult a pediatrician.
