Is it Safe to Take Turmeric with Black Pepper for Joint Pain While on HRT and Escitalopram?
I'm on hrt and escitalopram. Just wondering can I take tumeric with black pepper for joint pain
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Yes, you may use turmeric and black pepper for joint pain. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and black pepper improves the bioavailability of turmeric. The combination of this with HRT or escitalopram does not appear to be dangerous. But, like any new supplement or medication it is important to discuss with your doctor before including this in your regimen.

I drank midol and nigh quill will i be okay
Female | 19
Taking Midol and Nyquil together isn't good. Midol has acetaminophen for pain relief. Nyquil contains acetaminophen too. Too much acetaminophen can damage your liver. It may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Drink water to flush it out. Watch for nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain. Those are warning signs of overdose. If you feel ill, see a doctor immediately.

One ear blocked last 6 hours
Male | 48
In case you have had one ear blocked for the last 6 hours, it could be a sign of the earwax accumulation, sinusitis or some water in the inner ear. You should consult an ENT specialist for a detailed examination of your ear, determining the root of the obstruction. Please avoid any attempt of cleaning the ear yourself as this may possibly result in further damage.

Excessive hiccups is troubling me too much.Please give some remedies.
Male | 25
Hiccups are annoying, but there are things you can do. The diaphragm muscle contracts suddenly, maybe from eating fast, gulping air, or getting thrilled. To help hiccups stop, inhale slowly and deeply, sip cold water, or hold your breath briefly. These easy fixes usually work!

Too much masturbation may result in a temporary weakness and fatigue, but it is not a direct causative factor of eye weakness. Medical advice should be sought from an ophthalmologist for the proper evaluation and treatment of any eye issues.

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.

Hi, Our 1.1 year old baby did a blood test, and several abnormal values were found: IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES 0.18 k/ul IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES % 1.4 NEUTROPHILS % 16 LYMPHOCYTES 10 k/ul LYMPHOCYTES % 76.8 MONOCYTES % 4.6 HEMOGLOBIN 10.6 G/Dl MCHC 31.5 G/Dl MYELOCYTES BS % 0.9 ANISOCYTOSIS + MICROCYTES + The test was done after having several bacterial and viral infections in a row (we finished with antibiotics 2 days before the test). Is there a reason to worry? Thanks!
Male | 1
Test results suggest that your 1.1-year-old baby has viral or bacterial infection, which is still going on. Probably, you should see a pediatrician ASAP and bring the results of the test along with you. They will show you the right way of treatment. Don't put off seeking medical care too much.

The first important step she must take is to seek the advice of the doctor because she cannot stand or get out of bed. I advise that you seek a neurologist or a physical therapist to get her condition examined and given an appropriate treatment.

No, a medical treatment is usually not required as these kind lesions are benign and do not cause any symptoms. But I advise you to visit the concerned doctor regularly to monitor the lesions and check their growth and know whether they are causing any other problem.

I am 21 year old and I got fever yesterday night. Still today I have fever and joint pain. In last week, I visited to some place where I thought I came into contact with Mosquito. Kindly tell me what to do and what are the things that I need to eat.
Male | 21
You may have caught a mosquito-borne virus. These viruses can result in fever and joint pain. One of the well-known viruses is dengue fever. Rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take acetaminophen for the fever. Consume light and nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and soups that have been cleared. If the condition worsens or severe symptoms are experienced, the person should immediately seek medical help.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai
Female | 16
If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

Hi I've been experiencing severe insomnia for some days now and everytime I go to sleep I just lie there. When its during the day I think about going to sleep that when I eventually go to sleep I don't sleep at all. I don't have access to a psychatrist and I've just bought sleeping meds to take today- please help
Female | 29
I cannot recommend any medications online.. however, there are some self help techniques you can try. Find a consistent sleep schedule, create a sleep friendly environment, practice relaxation techniques, limit screen time before bed and establish a bedtime routine. Self medication is not recommended so it's best to seek professional medical advice.
