Post-Hospital Catheter Use
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?
General Physician
Answered on 5th Sept '24
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.

Child age is 14, having fever 103,104... severe headache, vomiting. What medicine can we give
Male | 14
I would suggest neither of the medicines to be taken without a doctor's consultation. Fever of 103-104°F accompanied with the headache and vomiting is a sign of a severe infection. It is significant to consult a pediatrician as a matter of priority in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

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.

I have been biten by my cat (one of its fangs scratched my skin), and its been a three mouths since then, and in the last feew days i get some headaches, stomach disconfort and some chest preasures, it is posible to be rabies? The cat seem to show no simptoms and i can still drink water but then i feel something in the neck
Male | 20
Rabies is not very frequent in cats and if your cat has not shown any signs of strange behavior, then there is no need to worry. The symptoms you mentioned, such as headaches, abdominal pain, and chest pressure, are more likely to be caused by other reasons. Perhaps anxiety or a minor illness going around. Please pay attention to how you feel; if it worsens, you can go to a doctor to check it.

Male | 17
It is not normal to experience leg and back pain, along with twitching or nerve pain, when you already diagnosed with epilepsy and anxiety. These symptoms may not directly related to your smoking habits, but they could also be symptoms of a more serious condition. Please consult a neurologist. They can diagnose and treat any underlying medical condition.

I'm getting lite fever and sweat I consulted a doctor and I take injection for fever and cold injection but still I got sweat what happened to me
Male | 20
You seem unwell, even after taking medicine. Fever and sweating often indicate infection. Sweating keeps your body's temperature regulated. The injection's effects may take time; be patient. Stay hydrated, rest well, and make yourself comfortable. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor promptly.

A cold or flu might cause fever, headache, and nasal congestion. Symptoms include runny nose, cough, sore throat, body aches. The viral infection causes this. Drink fluids, rest, and take medications for fever and pain if needed. But see a doctor if symptoms don't improve.

I am 20 years old, female. I have been having high fever that comes and goes since 4 days with no other symptoms other than sharp headache and weakness. Fever goes up to 102.5. I took dolo650 only for fever
Female | 20
It sounds like you may be dealing with a viral infection that’s given you a high fever, headache, and weakness. Viruses can really knock you out. Keep in mind to drink lots of water and get some rest. Taking dolo650 for fever is good. If your fever doesn’t go down or if it becomes hard to breathe or you feel pain in your chest, then it’s time to see a doctor or go to the hospital.

I ate a vitamin and about 20-25 minutes i drink a lil bit of wine (yellow tail) i don't know if this cause it but my symptoms is I get cold a lil while I started to see blurry white and the after wards I start seeing green and purple , dizzy, my head start hurting throat, behind my ears ... I'm afraid
Female | 20
It seems likely that you experienced an adverse reaction when you mixed the vitamin with wine. Blurred vision, dizziness, headache and throat pain are symptoms that could be caused by such an action. This mixture affects the central nervous system which leads to those signs. To help yourself, take lots of water and rest without taking any alcohol. If they continue consult a doctor for further assistance.

Male | 26
Symptoms like the flu, muscle aches, weight reduction, vomiting, diarrhea, and now high blood pressure are a cause for concern. These signs could be brought on by several things including seasonal influenza, change in diet, stress, or even underlying medical issues. It’s great that you got tested for HIV but it’s important to keep looking for what else may be causing your ailment. To help with these matters, see a medical professional who will give you a thorough check-up and decide on the treatment.

My mother has been suffering from a large hernia for many years, and she was extremely obese. She previously weighed 85 and was 143 in height. One of the doctors insisted on performing a sleeve gastrectomy to alleviate the consequences of the hernia on her, and the sleeve operation was actually performed, and her mass has reached 28 today. I would like to ask, is it dangerous to leave a hernia without an operation? Is obesity a major cause of hernia? What is the relationship between obesity and hernias, and is it a major cause of hernias? When the hernia is returned to its place, does it pose a danger to the internal organs such as the heart and lungs? Is it necessary to have plastic surgery on the abdomen after hernia surgery? Thank you
Female | 58
The hernia can not be left without surgery as this may lead to severe problems such as incarceration or strangulation. Hernias are a major risk factor for obesity, as surplus weight is a persistent burden for the abdominal wall. Here, the expert will be a general surgeon. Plastic surgery on the abdomen following hernia surgery is not mandatory, but it can be advised in some cases for aesthetic improvement of the region.

Male | 41
Stem cell therapy shows promise for treating kidney disease, but its ability to cure the condition 100% is not guaranteed. Factors like the type of kidney disease, patient's health, and treatment approach play a role. While there have been positive results, realistic expectations and consultation with specialists are important due to ongoing research in this field.
