I had protected sex 2 weeks ago and now I am having a cold, is it possible that I might have HIV
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Having a cold two weeks after protected sex does not necessarily indicate HIV infection. HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. The symptoms you're experiencing could be caused by various factors, so it's best to consult your doctor.

Female | 23
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, the lump under the skin could be a swollen lymph node. You should have it examined by a doctor, as it may also be a cyst or something else. I would advise you to consult an ENT specialist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Feel laziness and whole body pain all the time
Male | 25
Experiencing both a problem with energy and a lot of pain all over the body is hard. One of the reasons might be sleeping little hours, skipping meals, or not doing enough work. On the other hand, stress is also a significant factor in this. Apart from this, eat well, have enough sleep, and work out to get rid of this feeling. Go to a doctor who will help you with the situation.

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.

My BP is 112/52. No big disease. Should I worry?
Female | 62
An individual with a pressure of 112/52 is considered to be having low blood pressure. Dizziness, fainting, fatigue or even blurring of vision are some of the symptoms one may experience. Dehydration, heart conditions, use of certain drugs and hormonal imbalances are among the causes that can lead to this condition. To increase the blood pressure, ensure you take enough water, eat regular meals and avoid sudden standing up.

Even if you utilized a condom, there is still a chance of getting the virus. It is suggested to get tested frequently, even when the results are negative. It is better to see a specialist and have in depth discussion on preventive measures.

I think i have skin cancer but i don’t know how to tell
Female | 14
If you suspect skin cancer, consult a dermatologist. Monitor any changes in moles or spots using the ABCDE rule. Take photos for documentation and avoid self diagnosis. A dermatologist can perform a thorough examination and potentially conduct a biopsy if necessary. Early detection is key for successful treatment.

I am an 18 year old female. I have been preparing for competitive exams for almost a year now. everything was going okay I used to feel a little sleepy while studying in the morning after 6 to 7 hours of sleep. But recently I have been sleeping 6 to 7 hours at night but feeling too tired all day especially when I am studying, I have my exam next month. I am unable to study I am trying so hard but I still feel so sleepy all day. I also missed my periods last month.
Female | 18
You are experiencing a lot of stress from exams. Feeling drained and missing periods could indicate stress-induced hormone imbalance. When stressed, your hormones get disrupted, causing fatigue and irregular menstruation. To manage this, rest adequately, maintain a nutritious diet, and consider counseling for stress-coping techniques. Remember to take study breaks periodically and prioritize self-care practices.

Iam 15 years boy and I have headache,fever,cold and cough from last 2 days
Male | 15
Headache, fever, cold, and cough are basically the same thing, which are viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. The reason behind these symptoms is that germs invade your body and cause sickness. To feel better, rest, drink plenty of water and soup, and take fever and headache medicines should be your top priorities.

my grandfather has been on petrinoeal dialysis for 3 years now, he is bed ridden and 92 years old, and has heart conditions, can we get an estimate of his survival days,so we as a family can get a better picture and be better prepared?
Male | 92
It is not easy to estimate a patient's survival days as they vary. It is prudent to look for advice from your grandfather's doctor who is a sub-specialist in nephrology and cardiology. They may give you a more exact status on his condition and sometimes they can also tell you about the possible complications.

Itraconazole fights fungal infections, while levocetirizine battles allergies. They can team up under medical guidance. Potential side-kicks may include tummy troubles or sleepy spells. Follow dosage marching orders and raise any worries with your medical commander.

I always feel weakness. If I do anything or not . I didn't use any medicine our anything else plz tell me why I feel weakness
Female | 20
This may be a sign of illness. Inadequate nutrition, lack of sleep and failure to drink enough water can cause fatigue. Other causes could be an underlying thyroid problem or low levels of certain nutrients such as iron. Eat well, rest and keep hydrated; if these do not work then seek medical attention immediately.

I have sudden extreme itching on my torso when i go from cold area to bit hotter area. Occured twice when i was travelling in cold and then entered mall which was heated. It is very sudden and disappears in 5 -6 mins or until my body cools down again. I am 21 years old . Male
Male | 21
You might have a disease called cold urticaria, that can result in itching, and the development of hives when the skin comes into contact with cold temperatures. Please schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for definitive diagnosis and treatment. During this time, try to keep far from harsh temperature fluctuations and make sure your skin is covered in low temperatures.

Female | 17
Some changes to your body need attention. Losing weight rapidly, without effort, isn't normal. It might result from thyroid issues, diabetes, or even stress. Tiredness, dizziness, frequent hunger - these symptoms require caution. To ensure safety, it's wise to consult a healthcare provider and determine the underlying cause.
