It could be related to issues like sciatica or a pinched nerve. It's crucial to consult a professional doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Sciatica, a herniated disc, or spinal stenosis might be causing the discomfort. Consider seeking medical attention for evaluation, managing pain with ice/heat and pain relievers, maintaining good posture, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

i was 100 days ago walking on the road when i saw a drop from somewhere above. i didn't notice it at the time but i thought that if that drop was the saliva of a rabid dog
Male | 17
If an infected animal drooled into your eye, you may have contracted rabies; however, the chances are slim. Common indicators include high temperatures and general discomfort such as headaches. To be safe, rinse your eye thoroughly for a few minutes with water and get in touch with a medical professional immediately.

recently i am thinking of taking supplement for my body for general fitness , supplements like (fishoil, multivitamin, zinc, magnesium, ashwagandha and collagen supplement and creatine) so my concern is is it safe to take all these supplement all together in right dosage
Male | 20
It is essential to note your health and consult with a doctor before beginning any new protocol of supplementation. Hence, though there are some benefits to these supplements, when taking them together the risk of side effects increases. I highly suggest that one obtains the services of a dietician or nutritionist who will advise the correct dosage and possible interactions.

Hi how are you? I had angina as a child. I am 20 years old now and for the past few years I have often had white bad smell things in my throat. I used to see them visually on my tonsils and removed them by myself, but now I don't see them at all, but I know they are there because I feel something inside my throat. With a light cough, it always goes away with the cough and appears again.
Жінка | 20
It seems you're experiencing recurring white, bad-smelling substances in your throat, likely tonsil stones. These small deposits can cause discomfort and bad breath. Despite not seeing them anymore, you can feel something in your throat. It's advisable to consult an ENT specialist to accurately diagnose the issue and discuss possible treatment options, given your history of angina.

Chest problem for 1month please ask me a good medicine
Male | 14
You've had chest issues for a month. That's difficult. Coughing, tightness, pain, breathing problems - those are chest problem signs. Pneumonia, a lung infection, could be why. See a doctor for antibiotics to get better. Rest, drink liquids, use a humidifier - those help too.

Hello, I'm 25 yrs old male. Going to the gym three to four time a week. I would like to know if I can take Zinc capsule, Magnesium capsule, Fish oil capsule, Biotin B7 capsule and B complex
Male | 25
Zinc, Magnesium, Fish oil, Biotin B7, and B complex are good supplements. But try getting them from food first. If you feel sluggish, can't snooze well, or notice skin/hair changes, these might assist. Just don't overdo the dosage amounts.

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.
