Is it okay to lift weights if I have benign breast lumps?
Female | 20
You can lift weights if you have benign breast lumps. Be careful, though, and pay attention to how your body feels. Benign breast lumps usually aren't dangerous. They can happen because of hormone changes, fibrocystic changes, or cysts. However, heavy lifting might make the lump area uncomfortable or painful. If that happens, stop lifting right away. Talk to your doctor for advice on what to do next.

Pani pine ke bad bhi gala aur mouth sukhna h aur head thanda sa lgta h ander se
Female | 25
You might experience throat and mouth dryness, despite drinking water. Additionally, you might feel a slight coolness inside your head. These symptoms could result from inadequate water intake throughout the day. Ensure regular, ample water consumption to maintain throat and mouth hydration. Sucking on sugar-free candies may also help alleviate dryness.

Good evening sir, do you have time to talk with me, i am suffering from tonsils or throat infection
Male | 19
It seems you might have tonsillitis. That's when your tonsils get infected and swollen. You'll likely have a really sore throat, making it hard to swallow. Plus, the glands in your neck could swell up too. Tonsillitis usually happens because of viruses or bacteria. To feel better soon, take it easy and drink plenty of warm liquids like tea or soup. Visit your doctor to get relief from this.

Hello. I want to ask about the risks of taking a free blood glucose test in a health fair. How high is the risk of transmitting a disease from it? Thank you.
Other | 15
The chance of carrying a disease from a free blood sugar test taken at a health fair in most cases is small. However, it is of utmost importance that hygiene and sterilization be observed in the testing process. If you have any concerns about symptoms after a test or, in the future, visit an endocrinologist for guidance and treatment.

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.

Your child may have a viral infection, which is common in young children. Make sure to keep them hydrated and let them rest. However, it’s important to visit a pediatrician, as they can give the right treatment and check if there’s any other issue that needs attention.

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.

I have been having high fever for a few days and yesterday, I visited the doctor. From my blood test, he explained that I don't have a bacterial infection since my Neutrophils level is within the normal range. However, he did prescribe me the antibiotic amoxicillin and today I found out amoxicillin is used to treat bacterial infections. I have already had 4 out of the 21 doses prescribed. I am aware that I need to complete all doses for antibiotics. I want to get a second opinion on whether this antibiotic will really be beneficial for me as right now, I'm just experiencing a lot 9f nausea
Female | 28
You need to finish the whole course of antibiotics prescribed to you. Even if the levels of your Neutrophil are in normal averages, your doctor may have placed you on amoxicillin as a preventive measure. If you experience too much sickness or any other concern with your drug intake, it is better to see your doctor or infectious specialist.

I came from hot sunny day and from evening I'm feeling nausea and head and neck pain It's night I just vomited now feeling my stomach light and ok But I still have neck and full head pain
Female | 37
It sounds like you may have a headache and feel sick to your stomach because you were out in the sun too long. We can get ill from overexposure to sunlight and it may cause our heads to hurt as well. While throwing up might help some, I doubt if your neck and head will stop aching. Drink lots of water, rest somewhere cool — don’t go back outside where there is more heat! If your headache doesn’t go away or gets worse, you should see a doctor.

Can I take montair lc with ors
Female | 22
It is not safe to take Montair LC with ORS without a doctor's advice. Montair LC is a drug to cure asthma and allergenic rhinitis while ORS cures dehydration. One should see a doctor who deals with lung diseases before taking any drug for such illnesses.
