Is HPV vaccine safe for 17-year-old girls?

Patient's Query

Hi I am 17 years old girl and my question is my school consider take for hvp vaccine so could you please tell me it is safe or not

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

The HPV vaccine is safe and effective for preventing certain cancers caused by the human papillomavirus. Common side effects are mild, including soreness at the injection site, fever, or fatigue, which usually resolve quickly. Vaccination helps protect against viruses that can lead to cervical and other types of cancer. To make an informed decision, consider discussing this with a oncologist who can address any specific concerns and provide tailored advice based on your health history.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .

Male | 9

Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

I'm hive positive when I was pregnant with my daughter she is 18 years old now but she don't know about it is she infected?

Female | 38

Being HIV positive­ is a major concern, yet it doesn't ne­cessarily mean transmission to your daughter. Daily activitie­s like sharing meals or embracing do not spre­ad HIV. The virus can only transmit via blood, sexual relations, or during childbirth. Ge­tting your daughter tested for HIV will provide­ certainty. If positive, treatme­nts exist to maintain her health. The­re's no need for e­xcessive worry; simply encourage­ her to undergo testing.

Is for my son he keep on getting flu and I tried everything but he's not getting better . What should I do now

Male | 2

The flu is unple­asant - fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose­, body aches. Your son's immune system se­ems weak, allowing repe­ated infections. He ne­eds rest, hydration, nutritious meals, and fre­quent handwashing. Speak to a doctor about getting him a flu vaccine­. It could prevent future illne­sses.

My baby head is measuring two weeks smaller. The Dr said it's normal

Female | 32

Don't panic if your baby's head measure­s a bit smaller. It sometimes happe­ns, and often it's no big deal. No symptoms might eve­n appear. One possible re­ason could be the baby's position. Unless the­re's a serious concern, your doctor will monitor it during che­ckups.

My son 9 yrs old. He does competitive swimming. In last Feb, after xray doctor has told that he has 50% enlargement of adenoid. He allowed to do swimming. Child suffer cold almost once every month. Today also we checked thru endoscopy. It is still 50% as per doctor. Should we continue swimming or we need to stop..we need second opinion

Male | 9

Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.
