Why do I keep experiencing fever relapse?
Pain in hands and feet, headache along with nausea. High fever occurs when the pain becomes extreme. After taking medicine, it gets better for three or four days. But after five or six days, the fever comes again like this. It has been going on for months. Have seen doctor many times. But result is same. I suffered from typhoid fever like this for the past few years. It got cured after using high antibiotics. But after six months or a year it relapsed. What should I do in this situation? And please prescribe suitable madicine.

Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is likely you are having a problem called chronic typhoid fever, where the infection keeps coming back. This might be the case if the initial infection was not completely treated or if there is a carrier state. You may need to take longer antibiotics or other medicines. It is necessary to consult a specialist for additional examination and medication adjustment.

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.

My mother has pain in throat since yesterday with cold cough and mild fever
Female | 58
Throat ache, coughing, and slight fever might mean a cold or flu. Viruses cause sore throat and coughing. Fever helps fight infection. For relief, ensure she rests, drinks lots of fluids, and takes over-the-counter pain meds if needed. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, see a doctor.

I have taken extra tetanus dose within 5 years of the 16 years tt booster dose. Is there any problem if i take tetanus twice?
Female | 18
Getting an extra tetanus shot within 5 years of your last one isn't serious. Extra doses don't harm you, though injection sites may get sore or red, with mild fever. Side effects resolve alone. No need for concern; your body handles it fine. Next time, be mindful of due dates to avoid confusion.

Diet plan for weight gain
Female | 20
Regularly eating full, nutritious meals will help you gain weight healthily. Nuts, seeds, avocados, and healthy fats provide calorie-rich nutrients. Yogurt and nut butter make great snacks. Aim for three meals daily, plus snacks in between. Increasing daily calorie intake this way supports weight gain. Don't forget to drink lots of water too.

How many times albendazole and lvermicin can I take in a year
Male | 50
Using albendazole or ivermectin improperly can harm your health. A doctor prescribes albendazole one or two times yearly to treat intestinal worms. Meanwhile, ivermectin treats stubborn parasites like scabies or strongyloidiasis once annually. These medicines eliminate parasites causing stomach discomfort, itching, and tiredness.
