Male | 22
The condition is called puberphonia, and occurs when the muscles in your voice box do not grow stronger during adolescence. Symptoms include speaking at a higher pitch than expected for someone of your sex. The good news is that speech therapy can help you deepen your voice so it sounds more masculine. All you have to do is keep practicing the exercises regularly with a speech therapist - you will see progress soon enough.

I am 29 year old male and i have headache problem and i am unhappy everytime
Male | 29
A variety of reasons might cause headaches, such as stress, lack of sleep, or insufficient water intake. In addition, being unhappy is another robust reason, such as when an individual is overwhelmed by things or just sad. It's really good to drink lots of water, use breathing techniques, and get enough sleep. Sometimes, counselling with someone who you confide in might be helpful as well.

If an infected animal drooled into your eye, you may have contracted rabies; however, the chances are slim. Common indicators include high temperatures and general discomfort such as headaches. To be safe, rinse your eye thoroughly for a few minutes with water and get in touch with a medical professional immediately.

If your partner is negative for the HIV virus, then you have a low risk of acquiring them through sexual transmission. Nonetheless, if you are still worried then it is advisable to get yourself tested for confirmation. And you may visit a general physician or any other specialist in HIV/AIDS to be tested against the specific disease and, moreover, get proper advice.

Hello sir,i want to know before 3 months a dog bite me and i take 3 injections and doesn't take 2 more injections,and after 3 months a new dog bite me what I do please suggest me
Male | 26
Dogs have the potential of infecting you if they bite. Bitten twice by dogs is a matter of concern. When you miss some injections, this could indicate that you are not fully protected. Infections may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, warmth, and pain in the bite area. You must visit your doctor to get a proper evaluation and treatment, which may include additional vaccinations to avert complications.

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.

Experiencing these symptoms may be associated with your mild cat allergy, but they could also be caused by environmental allergens, respiratory issues, or changes in air quality. Consult your nearest doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
