Should I test for Vitamin B12 deficiency?

You might be talking about ulcers inside the mouth. They can be quite bothersome and take the form of small sores. Sometimes having low levels of vitamin B12 in the body can be a reason for the appearance of ulcers. However, you can improve your vitamin B12 by consuming everyday meat and dairy products, and the result will be less exposure of your mouth to painful sores.

I hot bitten by a puppy 1 month and 3 weeks old in my lips, it's been 1 day ago. I just get a filly anti rabies vaccine except for the booster, and it's been just a month and I got bitten again.
Female | 21
Young pups rarely have rabies. But watch for redness, swelling, or pain where it bit. Clean the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cream on the bites. Keep them clean. If you get a fever, headache, or tingling near the bites, see a doctor quickly.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?
Female | 26
Sometimes, needing a retro screening isn't serious. However, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stress. Waiting for test results takes time to ensure accuracy. Retro infection symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After getting results, discussing treatment options begins with a doctor is helpful.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.
Female | 33
Periods come on schedule each month, as usual. But sometimes their timing shifts due to stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking tablets to make your period arrive early is unsafe without medical advice - side effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle should run its course. If your period schedule is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endanger your health.

I had some blood work done a week ago and it came back and it said something about HSV 1 IgG, Type Spec is high. what does that mean
Female | 30
HSV 1 is an infection that can bring about fever blisters around your lips. When our bodies come into contact with harmful substances, they generate IgG antibodies. High HSV 1 IgG levels may indicate you’ve had the virus in the past. Cold sores might develop in your mouth or lips. Sores are often painful and may take several days to heal.

CRP/CBP/WIDAL. I had the test done. I want to know what's in the report
Male | 22
CRP stands for C-Reactive Protein. It is a test that checks for signs of inflammation in the body. If your CRP level is high, it means there is inflammation somewhere. CBP is a Complete Blood Picture. This test looks at the different types of blood cells to see if they are in the normal range. Widal is a test for typhoid fever. If the Widal test is positive, it could mean you have typhoid fever. Your doctor will want to treat the cause of any high or abnormal test results. They may give your medicine or other treatment.

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply
Female | 49
Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

My wife is 11 weeks pregnant. She did some blood tests and one was an hiv test which came back reactive. Since then she has had 2 dna tests both negative. They are running 2 rna tests. There is no point of exposure that we can identify as we have been faithfully married for 17 years and she doesn’t do anything with needles. To me it seems like this was a false positive but I’m still so scared.
Female | 36
A reactive test can be scary, but it's important to know that false positives can happen. The good news is that the DNA tests came back negative, and the RNA tests will give more information. Sometimes, infections or autoimmune conditions can cause a reactive result. Stay calm and wait for the RNA test results. If you need more advice, please consult your doctor.

Sir I m 25 years old boy .Sir someone implanted a RFID chip in my body . please can u help me find out how can I detect the chip in my body .which type of process is required for full body scan to find out it.
Male | 26
You cannot feel an RFID chip just by touching it. A full body scan like an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan may help see the chip. You may feel pain, swelling, or odd feelings near the chip spot. If you think you have an RFID chip, go see a doctor to check and do what needs done.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.
Male | 44
Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

I had a drink of kombucha not the whole thing just a couple sips I also started a new medication and went for a drug test and it was positive for alcohol I've had a false positive before
Female | 28
Sometimes, kombucha may have teeny-tiny alcohol amounts. It's kinda like a little beer sip. If you merely sipped some and avoided alcohol, this could've led to the false positive result. Before testing, mention any kombucha or meds you've had. That way, they'll account for it when checking results.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?
Male | 34
You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

My hiv test result is .13 and in reference range it is written .9 - 1 is greyzone. Am I positive or negative? I’m confident
Male | 29
Whether it is the case for you or not, the HIV test result is still the same - it is .13 and is in the grey zone of the reference range .9 - 1, which means it is inconclusive. Having this result, however, does not in any way guarantee that you have HIV. Among the symptoms of HIV that may appear are the following: flu, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. The causes have to do with engaging in unprotected sex or sharing needles. A retest will clarify the situation.

How many times albendazole and lvermicin can I take in a year
Male | 50
Using albendazole or ivermectin improperly can harm your health. A doctor prescribes albendazole one or two times yearly to treat intestinal worms. Meanwhile, ivermectin treats stubborn parasites like scabies or strongyloidiasis once annually. These medicines eliminate parasites causing stomach discomfort, itching, and tiredness.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once
Female | 50
After HIV testing, the virus sometimes doesn't appear for weeks or months. This means a negative initial test isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the test after several months provides certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredness, losing weight, and frequent illness. Safe sexual practices and routine testing prevent risk.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test
Male | 20
If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.
