I fell and hit my nose and now it’s tender to the touch aswell as not being able to breathe out of that nostril

Female | 20

It looks like you have a nasal fracture or a deviated septum. I suggest that you see an ENT specialist for a complete evaluation. They can assess the degree of the injury and administer the right treatment. It is vital that we do not ignore any nose injury as it may result in long term complications if left untreated.

Hi I have a lump on my lower back and it’s been there for about a month or so and won’t go away even if I stretch, it hurts to massage

Female | 17

A lump on your lower back that's been there for a month and doesn't go away might have various causes. To be safe, you should consult a general physician or a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. The lump could be due to different factors such as a cyst, lipoma, or infection. Since it's painful and doesn't respond to stretching or massage, it's best to avoid self treatment and seek medical attention.

I have been biten by my cat (one of its fangs scratched my skin), and its been a three mouths since then, and in the last feew days i get some headaches, stomach disconfort and some chest preasures, it is posible to be rabies? The cat seem to show no simptoms and i can still drink water but then i feel something in the neck

Male | 20

Rabies is not very frequent in cats and if your cat has not shown any signs of strange behavior, then there is no need to worry. The symptoms you mentioned, such as headaches, abdominal pain, and chest pressure, are more likely to be caused by other reasons. Perhaps anxiety or a minor illness going around. Please pay attention to how you feel; if it worsens, you can go to a doctor to check it.

Female | 27

If your cat hasn’t had a rabies vaccine, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Rabies is a serious disease that can be spread by animal bites. It’s better to be safe and get checked out by a doctor. They will determine if you need additional shots or not.

Constant exhaustion for se­ven days is challenging. Various factors contribute to pe­rsistent fatigue. Insufficient re­st or heightened anxie­ty sometimes deple­tes energy. Consuming nutritious me­als and engaging in physical activity may alleviate this condition. Howe­ver, if lethargy persists, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable­s.

Yes, buprenorphine can be found in blood tests. But it depends on the type of test your employer will be conducting with you. You have to inform your employer about the medications you may be taking. When it comes to questions concerning the nature of the test, it is advisable to reach out to a medical practitioner for clarifications, a psychiatrist or an addiction specialist being the best.
