If you have a cold, headache, and cough, it could be due to a common viral infection. It's best to stay hydrated, rest, and take over-the-counter medications to relieve symptoms. However, if the symptoms persist, please visit a general physician to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 33
According to the lymph node you state, your armpit lump may be a swollen lymph node. I recommend you see a family doctor or a specialist in internal medicine in the first place to acquire an accurate assessment and the necessary recommendations.

I experience body reaction when ever I stay for long without eating,,my body start reacting while swelling with itching condition. It happens for some minutes and disappear immidiately after taking some rest,,i consulted many doctors and they tells me it is allergic reaction but this sickness is worsening,,what can I do?
Male | 35
You might have exercise-induced urticaria. With this, your body gets deprived of food. It reacts by making skin itch and swell. The body releases histamine, a substance causing allergic reactions. Your case relates to lack of food. Manage it by eating small, frequent meals. This keeps blood sugar stable. It may prevent reactions. If issue continues, see a doctor. They'll further evaluate and guide you.

I have a tender hard bump on the left side back of my head for a few days. It came all of a sudden and only feels tender when I touch it. Thought maybe it was a swollen lymph node but not sure. What do you think?
Female | 18
It may be a swollen lymph node, cyst, boil, result from trauma, or be a lipoma. Consult a doctor for proper check up.

Hi, I've felt hung over the last two days but I haven't drank alcohol. What is wrong with me?
Female | 18
Exhaustion and fatigue without alcohol can happen when dehydrated. Limited sleep, stress, or bad diet may also cause hangover-like symptoms. You should aim for plentiful hydration. Get sound nightly rest. Eat nutritious foods. Manage anxiety and pressure well. Consult a doctor if these issues persist continually.

Female | 37
Being tired and having so little energy can be your body still weakly getting over the chronic food poisoning. A lack of B12, D3, and iron is also the reason for drowsiness. Don't forget to eat healthy, drink enough water, and keep on with your yoga and meditation. Be patient, as healing is a lengthy process. Stress prevention is a significant point for your health.

I stapled my thumb at work on Friday. (Preschool classroom, the staples had briefly fallen on the floor prior). It was in there pretty well. I pulled it out, it did bleed, I cleaned it out with soapy water and then 50% isopropyl alcohol. I have not gotten a tetanus vaccine booster in the last 10 years. I have a doctor appointment on Monday. If I have been exposed to tetanus, will it be too late for me to get a booster? What are the chances I could have it now?
Female | 34
I urge you to see a doctor immediately. Tetanus toxoid is required to be administered within 5 days of injury like the one you have to prevent the disease. It is hard to say if the person gets tetanus or not without biomedical proof. You need to see a doctor who is a specialist in infectious diseases.

I have back pain, groin pain and abdominal pain
Male | 29
I would recommend you to visit a doctor as soon as possible because these symptoms seem to indicate a serious health condition. A urologist or a general surgeon would be the right specialist to consult for your back pain, groin pain and abdominal pain. It is important to have a good diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid any more trouble.

Good Morning I am a male, 29years from Southwest Nigeria, I have some illness I have been noticed for a while and i need advice. I always love football before but for a while I leave that activity due to academic pursuit but anytime I tried it now I get tired easily as if I will faint and slump. And moreover I get cold easily and which doesn't allow me to breathe deep as I should, but I noticed that anytime I take hot water or use hot water to bath I felt relieved but I don't think I should be using hot water for the rest so I am seeking a proper consultation
Male | 29
Anemia occurs when your body doesn't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen, leading to fatigue, cold sensitivity, weakness, and shortness of breath. While hot water may temporarily improve circulation, it's not a long-term solution. I recommend seeing a doctor for a blood test to check your red blood cell levels. Anemia can be caused by factors like iron deficiency or illness, and treatment may involve dietary changes, iron supplements, or other medications, depending on the cause. Getting proper medical care is essential to address your symptoms.

I got scratched under my right foot by a random cat on 12/02/24 at approximate 5:10PM at the Masjid while praying. I immediately washed the affected area with soap for about 5 minutes. The cat didn't seem rabid (No hypersalivation, itching, photophobia or visible scar or bite mark). I took an anti titenus serum afterwards as a precaution. Do I need to take Rabivax? If so, why, how, where and when?
Male | 19
It is advised that you should see a doctor who deals in infectious diseases and also get tested. The doctor will decide on the next steps depending on the scratch severity, the location, and the overall health state. A doctor may recommend a rabies vaccine based on the case.

Hi, I had scarlet fever and stoped taking antibiotics a week ago, now I am sick again. I have a fever and pain in my throat when i swallow. Could it be that my scarlet fever came back after a week?
Female | 17
You might have a throat infection after scarlet fever. Fever and throat pain come from bacteria causing a new infection. Not scarlet fever again, but a different one. Drink fluids, rest well, and use throat lozenges for pain relief. See a doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

Doctor, I have too much stomach pain, backpain.. headache also now I have got eye pain fatigue ?
Female | 19
Your stomach, back, head, and eyes feel pain. You're tired too. These problems happen sometimes if you're stressed or not sleeping enough. It could be an infection making you sick. You should rest a lot. Drinking plenty of water is important. Eat healthy foods. Try relaxing your mind and body. But if you're still feeling bad after trying this, you'll need to see a doctor.

My husband is an IV user and his left arm has a bunch of open sores and it's swollen and appears to be infected. 3 days ago he started to get b head aches but he refuses to see a doctor. Is there anything at home I can do for him
Male | 50
Your husband's arm is in a bad state. The open sores and swelling could be a sign of an infection. If he's also experiencing headaches, things could get worse. Infections can be spread quickly! At home, you can help by cleaning the sores gently with warm water and soap, then covering them with band-aids. But he should see a doctor as soon as possible because infections can be dangerous.
