Answered on 23rd May '24
If your child shows no signs of distress and the swallowed coin is in the simple position it should move on its own within 24-48 hours. But you should closely watch your symptoms, stools, and bowel movements during this period. You needs to refer to the pediatric gastroenterologist for further investigations and treatment.

Female | 25
Bleeding, swollen skin can happen when teeth break the skin. Swelling might mean bacteria got inside the wound. First step: Wash hands using soap and water. Next: Apply a fresh bandage. If it worsens or pus appears, visit a doctor. Keep it clean and monitor changes closely.

I started Prednisolone (25mg) 2 days ago, for an allergic reaction. I am supposed to take full doses for 3 days, then half does for 3 and then stop. I believe this medication is affecting other medications I am currently taking. Am I able to stop taking it?
Female | 27
I suggest you don't stop prednisolone abruptly. It is necessary to finish the whole set of drugs in accordance with your doctor's prescription. If you have any side effects or drug interactions you should talk to your doctor. They can assess the unique requirements of your case and alter the treatment plan for you.

Do i need to get revaccination if a vaccinated dog against rabies bit me under span of 5 months , i was already vaccinated.
Male | 23
Did you know that if you're bitten by a dog that was already vaccinated and you're also vaccinated it's still a good idea to see a doctor? Rabies virus is a fatal virus that can also be spread through biting, but it is rare. In case you didn't know, always get a revaccination because it might still be enough for your safety. You can have a fever, headache, and be disoriented when rabies strikes. In such a situation, visit a healthcare provider.

Prolonged fever, especially if it's around 102 to 104, is a signal to see a doctor. Situations of back pain can be generated by different conditions. Once in a while, there may be a reason that is not visible and requires more investigation. Get in touch with your doctor for a complete evaluation of your condition.
