I was consulting a sangoma(witchdoctor) who gave me something to drink over a course of four months. Now i cant feel the effects of my medication or any other drugs for that matter. What could have been in the drink and how do I counter it?

The beverage you had from the traditional healer might have had substances that blocked your body from taking in or reacting to drugs. Sometimes specific plants or chemicals can do this. The things you are going through like not being affected by medication could be because of this blockage. I suggest you stop taking the beverage at once and go to see a doctor. They will be able to examine you and give you the right treatment.

68 yrs old woman suffering continuous allergy for 3 months after eating shrimp
Female | 68
While shrimp can cause allergy, a very long-lasting allergy from shrimp alone is not a common condition. It's important to consider other dimensions such as the possibility of underlying medical conditions or dietary triggers. It is advisable to visit a medical specialist, since the healthcare professional should do a proper examination and manage your health.

A rabid dog was found and taken in captive from the IIT Bombay campus on 16th of March. We visited the campus on 24th March, where my three year old daughter fell down on the street and got a minor scratch on her knee which was covered with her pant. Now is there a possibility that she can get rabies from the virus that could have been on the road surface from the drooling of the animal?
Female | 3
The probability of her catching rabies from a scratch on her knee which occurred because of a fall on the road pavement is very low. While it is advised to consult a pediatrician whenever you have any questions about your child`s health.

Diet plan for weight gain

Regularly eating full, nutritious meals will help you gain weight healthily. Nuts, seeds, avocados, and healthy fats provide calorie-rich nutrients. Yogurt and nut butter make great snacks. Aim for three meals daily, plus snacks in between. Increasing daily calorie intake this way supports weight gain. Don't forget to drink lots of water too.

I am from South Africa and was vaccinated against measles, does that mean I am vaccinated for mumps and rubella?
Female | 26
If you have been vaccinated against measles it doesn't necessarily mean that you are covered against mumps and rubella. Each of measles, mumps, and rubella is a different disease. They each have their vaccine that is necessary for protection. Mumps may make you have swollen glands while rubella can cause a rash and fever. To be entirely safe, make sure that the mumps and rubella vaccinations are received.

I'm little concerned about exposure to pure toluene. I think I accidentally inhaled toluene vapours while working with it on solvents. Although nothing seems to be affected, but what precautionary measure should I take now? I don't huff toluene or inhale intentionally for addiction. But, I work with toluene as an artist to restore damaged brushes or wipe of paints
Male | 31
Toluene exposure can cause dizziness, headaches, and lightheadedness. Move to a well-ventilated area when using it and wear a protective mask. If you feel unwell, go outside for fresh air immediately.

Patient experienced pain after carrying a child on her shoulder and caused bruising in the right side of her collar near the neckline. until the bruising created a bump and eventually ruptured. The injury has healed yet after a year a change occurred where the scarring tissue is now bulging and causing discomfort to the patient

It looks like the person has a hernia that is linked to the previous injury. I would suggest getting an appointment with a general surgery expert for further management and evaluation of that condition.

Mere sir pain hota hai 24 ghante
Female | 16
It could be because you did not get as much water as needed, were stressed, or watched the screen for hours. Headaches can also result from sleep deprivation or too much noise. If you want to reduce your pain to a minimum, you must turn to a peaceful place to relax and drink water. Also, if it doesn't relieve the situation by then, do consider talking to a Neurologist to sort out the cause and receive an accurate diagnosis.
