Should I seek urgent medical help for bat bite concern?
Last night a bat flew over my back and I am afraid it might have bitten me. I didn't feel the bite, but now I feel pain in my left shoulder and nausea. Given the potential risk of rabies, I would like to ask if I should seek medical attention immediately?

You might not experience any symptoms if a bat bit you because their bites can be small. If you feel pain and nausea afterward, especially in your left shoulder, it could be a sign of rabies. Rabies is a serious brain virus that commonly occurs through animal bites. Hence, it is necessary to seek medical help without delay. Rabies may be prevented if treated early, hence, it is better not to take risks.

Sir, I have many small and big warts on my eyes.
Male | 18
Based on the description, it would appear you do have filiform warts, which are fairly common growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts can be excised and removed by a dermatologist or ophthalmologist. We would advise you to see a specialist for the correct diagnosis and plan in relation to your treatment.

My whole body aches, including my eyes my joints and my internals, I took muscle relaxers because I was told it should help (methocarbamol) and I'm also on birth control (Norethindrone)
Female | 20
Muscle relaxers like methocarbamol may help with muscle spasms but won't address the underlying issue. Birth control pills like Norethindrone typically don't cause widespread body aches. You must consult with your doctor to find out the causes of the pain, they may advice some tests or examination to check.

Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
Male | 20
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.

A strange lady hugged me and she has tb would I get infected . I had my mask on and I'm so worried
Female | 22
If you were wearing a mask, it's good protection. TB is not as simple as that which is particularly followed by a brief hug. Coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fever are the main symptoms. It spreads through the air, thus, masking is the smart thing to do.

Male | 17
Headache in the back of the head is caused by TENSION.... Tension headaches are COMMON and not harmful... POOR POSTURE can cause it... DEHYDRATION is another cause... STRESS is also a significant factor... Over-the-counter PAIN RELIEVERS can help... Warm compresses can alleviate discomfort... Practice stress-reducing techniques such as EXERCISE and MEDITATION... Seek medical attention if headache persists...

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.

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.

On Tuesdays I have sharp pain in my right chest under my armpit 3 or 4 times in less than half an hour I am 13 years old 1.56m male and. 61 kg

This could be triggered by an injured muscle or a cold. Take deep breaths and relax for a few moments, avoiding tasks and movements that cause this pain. If the pain continues, you can apply wet cloths to the affected area in hot weather, or alternatively, you can visit your nearby doctor for consultation

I am 24 years old. I am suffering from fever and cold from last 3 days. On early morning I feeling good.But day progress feeling sick, weakness and fever.
Male | 24
You could be suffering from a common cold or flu. Cold symptoms include fever, runny nose, and feeling tired. These viruses are transmitted through a cough or a sneeze of a sick person close to you. First, if you want to feel better, you should make sure to rest, drink lots of fluids, and take some over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol. However, if you experience worsening symptoms or have trouble breathing, you should visit a physician.

I had runny nose , little fever , throat pain , headache and fatigue from 2 days then I took cetrizine and Augmentin 625 one tab each . Next morning I still have headache and nose is not runny anymore , is this right medicine or can u tell me what do I have and what medicine i should take
Female | 23
You might have a mild and harmless influenza if you experience these symptoms. A runny nose and sore throat are probably due to a virus. Augmentin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria but may be unnecessary if the main issue is a viral infection. Cetirizine can relieve allergy symptoms, though it doesn't address the cause. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and using acetaminophen for headaches are great approaches. If symptoms persist, it is best to see a doctor.
