Should I Be Concerned About Weight Loss?

My father got viral infection last month and lost 8 kgs weight...fever lasted for only 3 days and then after leg pain and swelling happened ...and suffered from constipation so dctr gave milk of magnesia to cure constipation...now constipation got relieved...is weight loss okay or we need to check with dct?

Answered on 8th Oct '24

It's good that your father's constipation is better now. However, losing weight after a viral infection is expected as the body manages to defend against the infection. Mucous membrane pain and swelling might be due to the inflammation response of the body to the virus. Since the constipation is better and the fever is gone, it's okay. If the weight loss persists or if any new symptoms develop, see your doctor.

Im Ace, just wanna know if sleeping late affect my height

Male | 14

Your height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which close in late adolescence or early adulthood. So staying up late occasionally won't have a significant impact on your height. Young people are recommended to get an adequate amount of sleep for their age (7-9 hours) to support overall well being during their growing years.
