I always feel weakness. If I do anything or not . I didn't use any medicine our anything else plz tell me why I feel weakness
Female | 20
This may be a sign of illness. Inadequate nutrition, lack of sleep and failure to drink enough water can cause fatigue. Other causes could be an underlying thyroid problem or low levels of certain nutrients such as iron. Eat well, rest and keep hydrated; if these do not work then seek medical attention immediately.

Hi, Our 1.1 year old baby did a blood test, and several abnormal values were found: IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES 0.18 k/ul IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES % 1.4 NEUTROPHILS % 16 LYMPHOCYTES 10 k/ul LYMPHOCYTES % 76.8 MONOCYTES % 4.6 HEMOGLOBIN 10.6 G/Dl MCHC 31.5 G/Dl MYELOCYTES BS % 0.9 ANISOCYTOSIS + MICROCYTES + The test was done after having several bacterial and viral infections in a row (we finished with antibiotics 2 days before the test). Is there a reason to worry? Thanks!

Test results suggest that your 1.1-year-old baby has viral or bacterial infection, which is still going on. Probably, you should see a pediatrician ASAP and bring the results of the test along with you. They will show you the right way of treatment. Don't put off seeking medical care too much.

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.

68 yrs old woman suffering continuous allergy for 3 months after eating shrimp
Female | 68
While shrimp can cause allergy, a very long-lasting allergy from shrimp alone is not a common condition. It's important to consider other dimensions such as the possibility of underlying medical conditions or dietary triggers. It is advisable to visit a medical specialist, since the healthcare professional should do a proper examination and manage your health.

I’m having trouble with bed wetting I’ve told my doctor but she told me I’m fine
Male | 21
Bed wetting happens when someone pees in bed during sleep, mainly at night. It's called nocturnal enuresis. For kids, it's normal, but adults can experience it too. Reasons include bladder problems, hormone imbalances, or family history. To deal with it, try drinking less before bedtime. Use nightlights. Speak to a doctor if it's a big issue.

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.

Iam 15 years boy and I have headache,fever,cold and cough from last 2 days
Male | 15
Headache, fever, cold, and cough are basically the same thing, which are viral infections such as the common cold or influenza. The reason behind these symptoms is that germs invade your body and cause sickness. To feel better, rest, drink plenty of water and soup, and take fever and headache medicines should be your top priorities.
