General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
For a cut to your hand, it is important to clean the wound using soap and water, applying pressure to prevent any bleeding. Cover the wound with a sterile gauze and keep it clean and dry. In case of infection symptoms like redness, swelling, and pus, kindly visit a general physician or a dermatologist as early as possible.

6 months baby fever not going from past 3 days
Male | 6
I recommend that you schedule an appointment with a pediatrician as fast as possible. A fever protracted more than three days shows a serious illness or infection. A pediatrician may diagnose the underlying factor that has caused the fever and prescribe appropriate treatment.

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.

Can I take havital , bevon, bonzes+ syrups at a time???
Female | 23
No, taking Havital, Bevon, and Bonzes+ syrups at the same time are not safe. These are multivitamins and cough syrups containing similar active ingredients in one form, which may have a toxicity and negative impact. It is advised to visit a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist for cough-related issues.

I am suffering from fever for 6 days which medicine should I take.
Male | 42
It is necessary to identify the underlying cause of the fever. Fevers are a clear indication of your body fighting an infection. Frequent causes of it are a cold, flu, or, in rare cases, a disease caused by a bacterium. To help relieve fever take acetaminophen or ibuprofen just make sure that you have an adult who is supervising you. Never forget to drink lots of fluids and sleep. If your fever does not go away or you start experiencing other new symptoms, seek medical help.

Male | 27
When you have already been treated for syphilis then take a retest for HIV after six weeks. But PrEP alone is not enough. You still have to be safe while engaging in sexual intercourse.

Male | 16
Fish oil is a commonly consumed dietary supplement as it is widely used to promote heart health, battle inflammation, and remind the brain's function under it. For a 15-year-old, the recommended maximum amount a day would range from 500 mg to 1000 mg. Try taking the tablets with food to enhance the absorption process. Be cautious that you only select those supplements that have high quality to ensure that you are experiencing the best advantages of the supplement. If you have any specific health problems or health conditions, you should consult with your physician.

Fever with vomiting headache body pains
Male | 18
Fever is the result of the body struggling against intruders. Vomiting and headache are the things which appear when the body is trying to resist something that it does not like. For relief, find a cool place, and drink water and eat light, easy-to-digest foods. In the event these symptoms persist or worsen, visit a doctor.

I'm suffering with sore throat, flu and fever. Can you please prescribe some medication for this Thanks
Female | 26
You seem to have a sore throat, flu symptoms, and fever. A viral infection commonly causes these. To ease your discomfort, try over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and throat pain relief. Staying hydrated and resting are crucial too. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment.

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 am a 15 year old boy and recently found a little ball in front of my left testicle. Is it normal?
Male | 15
It seems like you might have an enlarged lymph node, which can be similar to a small egg in front of your left testicle. This is possibly caused by infections or inflammation in the area. Do not touch it too much. Take it easy and get it checked by a urologist immediately.
