Eye redness, Fever, cough, cold eye redness appeared today fever from 1 week
Male | 13
I think you might have a cold that’s making you cough and giving you red eyes. Having a fever for a whole week is a cause for concern. Sometimes red eyes are a sign of a cold virus. You should rest, drink fluids, and take something for the fever. If you don’t get better or your eyes get worse, it’s a good idea to see a doctor.

Age of 8 months cat was bite me 40 minutes ago
Male | 21
If the cat broke your skin, you may feel pain, see redness, and notice swelling. Cat bites can transfer bacteria into your skin, possibly causing infection. Clean the area with soap and water, use an antiseptic, and watch for infection signs like more pain or redness. If those develop, seek medical care quickly.

Hi I would like to ask which medication can help with my fatigue,concentration and memory.As I am a student struggling with those very badly.
Female | 20
You seem to experience tiredness, difficulty focusing and struggles with memory. Various factors contribute, like pressure, insufficient rest, and unhealthy nutrition. Modafinil, a medication, sometimes helps these issues, especially for narcolepsy or sleep apnea patients. It increases alertness, potentially improving concentration and recall. You can visit a sleep specialist or general physician to get medications.

Hey ive been diagnosed with low iron around a month ago, I’ve been taking iron supplements once a day as suggested by the dr, I have had some time off work as it’s been affecting my ability to do my job, I felt as though I got to a point where I could return to work so I went back Monday and I was okay but come Tuesday I felt really wobbly, dizzy out of breath and just awful, it’s quite a physically demanding job where I’m up and down stairs, ladders, carrying heavy paint, using paint machines, its really affecting my mental health, I’m worried about my financial situation if I lose my job (my employer has mentioned it’s a possibility) I’m worried about my ability to return to work and how it’s affecting not only myself but everyone around me.
Female | 25
It seems like your persistent iron deficiency anemia is still troublesome. Low iron levels can cause symptoms like weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath, especially during physical activities. This can affect your work and mental health. Please consult your doctor if symptoms continue, as there may be issues with iron absorption or another underlying condition.

Kidney stones are painful hard bits that develop inside kidneys. They occur from lack of water intake and consuming excessive salt. Symptoms include severe pain below or back, bloody urine, feeling sick, and needing to pee frequently. To treat, drink abundant water. Take pain relievers. Sometimes surgery removes the stone. But it's better to prevent them through staying hydrated and limiting salt.

why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?
Male | 23
The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

It could be related to issues like sciatica or a pinched nerve. It's crucial to consult a professional doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Sciatica, a herniated disc, or spinal stenosis might be causing the discomfort. Consider seeking medical attention for evaluation, managing pain with ice/heat and pain relievers, maintaining good posture, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
