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 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.

Consuming 10 Amlokind tablets at once is extremely concerning. You might experience worrisome symptoms like dangerously low blood pressure, dizziness, and a sluggish heart rate. This reaction could occur due to the medication excessively dilating blood vessels. Promptly contacting a poison control center or emergency services is vital.

How can I lose weight fast
Male | 12
I suggest losing weight at an extreme pace as it is dangerous. Ideally, healthy weight loss happens at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week through a balanced diet and regular exercise. Individual consultations with a licensed dietitian or a certified fitness instructor are reasonably suggested for expert advice and guidance.

The injury has healed yet after a year a change occurred where the scarring tissue is now bulging and causing discomfort to the patient
