Sodium level of 126 is known to be low and it may be a result of some antitubercular drugs. It is necessary to discuss the matter with the treating doctor, who can prescribe a different medication dosage or hospitalize your mother for a thorough examination.

No, a medical treatment is usually not required as these kind lesions are benign and do not cause any symptoms. But I advise you to visit the concerned doctor regularly to monitor the lesions and check their growth and know whether they are causing any other problem.

Headache in the back of the head is caused by TENSION.... Tension headaches are COMMON and not harmful... POOR POSTURE can cause it... DEHYDRATION is another cause... STRESS is also a significant factor... Over-the-counter PAIN RELIEVERS can help... Warm compresses can alleviate discomfort... Practice stress-reducing techniques such as EXERCISE and MEDITATION... Seek medical attention if headache persists...

My urea level is 40 is it normal or not
Female | 29
A normal range of urea reads 40 mg/dL, which is typically anywhere between 7 and 43 mg/dL. There is no such thing as a full representation of renal function with just one test. If you become alerted to your urea level or kidney function, see a nephrologist for the diagnosis and recommendation.

Thyroiditis, TSH low, T3 and T4 Normal. Should I take prednisone?
Female | 51
Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding thyroiditis. If TSH is low but T3 and T4 are normal, it could indicate subacute thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism. Prednisone may be prescribed to manage inflammation in some cases, but only take it under a doctor's guidance.

Hi, I am a 17-year-old male who was scratched by a cat. This cat is not a house pet, as it lives outside of the house and can wander around the village freely. I was lightly scratched on my hand with some blood. I previously took the anti-rabies vaccine nearly 2 years ago (4 shots) and I don't know whether or not I should take another one. This cat is also not vaccinated against anti-rabies.
Male | 17
Your anti-rabies vaccine is still recent. A scratch from a cat might lead to an infection, but rabies is uncommon. Be watchful for swelling, redness, or discomfort near the scratch area. If those signs arise, visit your doctor promptly. No need for another vaccine now since yours is still valid. Clean the scratch thoroughly and monitor it.

I want to increase my height
Female | 24
Your genes control most of it. Short parents often mean you won't tower. Lacking nutrients when young might slow growth too. Eating right with exercise allows maximum possible height.

Can a 47 years old woman get pregnant naturally after manopause?
Female | 47
No, a woman who has gone through menopause, defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 consecutive months, cannot get pregnant naturally. Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, as the ovaries cease to release eggs (ovulate).
If you wish to conceive after menopause, you would generally require assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF with donor eggs or other specialized treatments.

Abdominal fat is normally linked to several factors such as genes, lifestyle and hormones.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg
Male | 17
Movera is a pain relieving medication. However, taking both medications close together might not be safe. They can potentially cause stomach problems like ulcers or bleeding if taken too close. It's better to wait a few hours before administering Movera. If he's still experiencing pain after that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise to consult a doctor before combining different drugs.

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.
