I am an 18 year old female. I have been preparing for competitive exams for almost a year now. everything was going okay I used to feel a little sleepy while studying in the morning after 6 to 7 hours of sleep. But recently I have been sleeping 6 to 7 hours at night but feeling too tired all day especially when I am studying, I have my exam next month. I am unable to study I am trying so hard but I still feel so sleepy all day. I also missed my periods last month.

Female | 18

You are e­xperiencing a lot of stress from e­xams. Feeling drained and missing pe­riods could indicate stress-induced hormone­ imbalance. When stresse­d, your hormones get disrupted, causing fatigue­ and irregular menstruation. To manage this, re­st adequately, maintain a nutritious diet, and conside­r counseling for stress-coping technique­s. Remember to take­ study breaks periodically and prioritize se­lf-care practices.

I have gastritis. I had been prescribed Amoxicillin tablets and i purchased accidentally capsule and consumed it, will it have a wrong affect in the body

Male | 21

For gastritis, Amoxicillin consumption in capsule instead of tablet form should not significantly affect its value. If you have doubts about the dose or the form of medication that you've taken, it's good to consult your doctor for confirmation and more instructions.

I am 20 year old female. I have suffered cold or possible virus for 10 days, but symptoms are still there. I need urgent help

Female | 20

It seems that you have had persistent symptoms that are possibly due to a viral infection. Signs like a runny nose, sore throat, or fatigue are the common symptoms, which sometimes may persist in weeks. Your body will get better fast if you relax and consume liquids. Non-prescription drugs can help you feel better, but if you have any symptoms that get worse or if new ones appear, go to a healthcare provider to have a proper check-up. Remember, Your early entry will improve treatment efficiency. You are doing the right thing by getting help, and we can ensure your healing together!

Alcohol stays in the body for up to 80 hours after drinking and may be detected by urine or blood tests. Nevertheless, the results can differ based on how much and often alcohol is used.

Hath dele pad jate hai.

Male | 48

The main cause of numbness in the hands is hyperemia in the muscles of the hands. The hyperemia causes increased amount of blood flow. Collagen reduction is another aging factor in the body leading to numbness in the hands. You can consult an orthopedic or a joint specialist to get over this problem

Based on the symptoms you described, you must consult with a doctor to get a thorough checkup done. Some potential causes of these symptoms could be an autoimmune disorder, thyroid disorder, or an allergic reaction. Do a thorough physical examination, along with additional diagnostic tests, to determine the actual cause and appropriate treatment options.

Female | 21

You see­m to struggle with sleep, e­xperiencing freque­nt headaches. Insufficient re­st can trigger such headaches. The­ solution lies in relaxing before­ bedtime. Scree­ns like phones and tele­visions should be avoided, and a soothing routine e­stablished. Ensure your room is dark and quiet. However, if the issue­ persists, seeking profe­ssional assistance is advisable.

I Am Suffering From unusual Common Cold,Means Always having Common Cold .If I Got subject to little cold, i will suffer from common cold

Male | 20

This sounds more like what is known as chronic rhinitis problem, which involves inflammation of the nasal lining and leads to persistent cold-like symptoms; these include congestion, runny nose as well sneezes. My advice would be to consult with an ENT in order to obtain the appropriate diagnosis and treatment personalized for your case.

Hy please tell me a good cough medicine for 60 plus onwards

Female | 65

Coughing can be caused by different factors in older adults, such as allergies, infections, or underlying health issues. Medications, including dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, that can be bought over-the-counter, can be prescribed to alleviate the discomfort. Nonetheless, it's essential to pay close attention to the existing medical conditions and medications a patient may be taking. Also, exceptionally, one can breathe in steam from a boiling pot or shower as well as drink more water or use a humidifier to ease stinging. If your breathing problem does not disappear in a short time or gets worse, seek professional medical help for personalized advice and assessment.

Hello, 2 months ago a drop of hiv infected person (not on medicine) saliva splashed into my eyes while talking and after 3 weeks i had mild cold symptoms for a few days. Am I infected with HIV? Cold stop pills made my symptoms better

Female | 33

The symptoms experie­nced could stem from various causes, not e­xclusively HIV. Slight cold-like indicators can manifest due­ to factors like viral infections, allergic re­actions, or simply a common cold. The alleviation provided by the­ cold-stop medication is beneficial. Should any worrie­s persist or new symptoms arise, se­eking medical evaluation from a he­althcare professional would be advisable­.
