Moving to a new country with different environmental factors can expose you to various health challenges. Recurring throat pain and sore throat may be due to climate change, allergens, or stress. While it's common to experience more illnesses during initial adjustments, it's essential not to ignore persistent symptoms.

I pet an unvaccinated dog 2 hours ago , I might have blown my nose with the same hand after accidentally without washing my hands . I’m not sure if the dog is rabid or not because it came near me socially . I’m scared if I’m at risk or rabies plz help
Male | 17
In a scenario where you stroke an unvaccinated dog that might have rabies, there is still only a minor risk of getting infected. The virus Rabies attacks the human brain and can be lethal when untreated. It is huffy, headache, and fear of water that are its symptoms. In such a case, scrub the wound with soap and water and consult with a physician.

Female | 18
Due to your symptoms, a high chance that you went through a hyperglycemic episode which could lead to dehydration and above-normal blood pressure. I would say that you should go and see an endocrinologist who specializes in diabetic care to help you monitor your blood sugar levels and find out the right insulin dosage for you

Your symptoms suggest you might be having a sinus infection, according to a diagnosis. I suggest that you make an appointment with an ENT specialist or an otolaryngologist to get an exam. They can help formulate a treatment plan for you.

I was suffering from chikunguniya since last month,still some symptoms are there body pain and arthritis.i missed my period this month is it normal
Female | 31
The cause of these symptoms is stress on the body, and consequently, the missed period. This occurs since your body is still on its way to getting back to normal. You should obviously take care of your health, eat right, drink enough water, and sleep enough. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice.

It can be caused by different factors such as heredity, trauma, and deviation from a normal position of the neck muscles.

I came from hot sunny day and from evening I'm feeling nausea and head and neck pain It's night I just vomited now feeling my stomach light and ok But I still have neck and full head pain
Female | 37
It sounds like you may have a headache and feel sick to your stomach because you were out in the sun too long. We can get ill from overexposure to sunlight and it may cause our heads to hurt as well. While throwing up might help some, I doubt if your neck and head will stop aching. Drink lots of water, rest somewhere cool — don’t go back outside where there is more heat! If your headache doesn’t go away or gets worse, you should see a doctor.

Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
Male | 20
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.
