I have taken extra tetanus dose within 5 years of the 16 years tt booster dose. Is there any problem if i take tetanus twice?
Female | 18
Getting an extra tetanus shot within 5 years of your last one isn't serious. Extra doses don't harm you, though injection sites may get sore or red, with mild fever. Side effects resolve alone. No need for concern; your body handles it fine. Next time, be mindful of due dates to avoid confusion.

Solution for loose motion and stomach pain
Male | 19
Gastroenteritis is an infection of the gastrointestinal tract by a virus or bacteria, and it causes both loose stools and stomach pain. It is essential to ensure proper hydration and consumption of light, easily digestible food. OTC drugs like loperamide offer temporary relief, but one should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Iam 41 years old I have fever last 5days. Am using dolo 650 tab but not to reduce fever
Male | 41
A fever that lasts for five days despite taking Dolo 650 tablets is concerning. Fevers can be caused by infections, so it’s important to figure out the root cause. Other symptoms like cough, sore throat, or body aches could provide more clues. I advise you to see a doctor for an accurate evaluation and treatment. Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest in the meantime.

lice went into my ear and i know that since i have lice and my glasses have lice (probably) and I pulled my temple of the glasses like a slingshot and it hit my ear. I felt like lice on the temple were going at my ear and now i have an itching sensation in my ear. Will the lice just go away on its own or not. Please reply ASAP :(
Male | 14
Lice in the ear can cause serious infections and complications if left untreated. Talk to ENT specialist they will examine your ear and prescribe the appropriate treatment to get rid of the lice and prevent further complications. Do not try to remove the lice yourself as it may cause more harm

Closure of colostomy represents a surgical intervention to reverse a colostomy. The patient may be expected to live a normal life post-surgery depending on the other medical conditions, age, or reason for the colostomy.

The injection may ache temporarily since needles can hurt muscles a bit. This discomfort typically resolves itself in days. Icing or gentle massage may help. However, consult a doctor if aches persist extensively.

Can a 17 years old take vitamin c tablet?
Female | 17
Yes, a 17-year-old can take Vitamin C tablets. Vitamin C plays a critical role in the body by keeping it healthy and boosting the immune system. If you easily get tired, prone to illnesses, or have wounds that take too long to heal, it might be an indication that you lack enough of this vitamin. You can meet your daily requirements of Vitamin C by taking tablets.

Is it safe to take betacap plus 10 along with nitrofurantoin SR
Female | 24
Taking certain medicines together isn't a wise idea. Betacap plus 10 and nitrofurantoin SR don't mix well. Combining them could make you dizzy, give you low blood pressure, and other unpleasant effects. Always consult your doctor before using these medications simultaneously.

I am 18 years old I have chest restless from 3 day
Male | 18
This can happen due to nerves, too much coffee, or reflux. Try and stay calm, lay off the caffeine, and have smaller meals throughout the day. If it doesn’t go away speak with someone who cares about your well-being; take some long deep breaths while you’re at it. Remember to drink water and get rest.
