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.

I have a swollen red hot arm after injecting
Female | 29
When your arm gets red, swollen, and hot, it's likely reacting to the injection. The inflammation happens because your body sees the injected substance as foreign. Infections could also bring such symptoms. Putting something cold on it and raising your arm may help. But, if it remains the same, you need urgent medical care.

Female | 38
The symptoms that you are explaining, such as pain in your chest, shoulders, hands, legs, and the headache near the eyebrows, have to be due to something that is called fibromyalgia. This condition may mean that the patient experiences pain in vast parts of the body and constant tender affectivity. A orthopedist's examination is necessary to diagnose the condition correctly and to negotiate the treatment process, such as the use of medication, physical activity, and stress management approaches that could help cope with the pain.
