To stay safe from dengue, take steps to prevent mosquito bites. Dengue is spread by mosquitoes carrying a virus that can make you sick. Always wear mosquito repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and keep your surroundings clean by removing standing water where mosquitoes breed. Symptoms of dengue fever include fever, severe headache, and joint pain.

I have a head wou.d and it's been glued just want to know if I can put my head on a pillow to go to sleep
Male | 30
Sleep with your head elevated above the heart level a bit to prevent opening up the wound again. Sleeping in an elevated position will prevent the swelling. You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed your head wound and follows his guidance on its treatment. In case of new symptoms or relapses, the doctor may make a referral to a neurologist or plastic surgeon for specialized care.

26 years and have been feeling tired and weak and also my heartbeat is faster
Male | 26
It looks like you could have a condition named anemia. Anemia might give you a sense of being tired, weak and having a fast heartbeat. This may occur when the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen. To start feeling better, you might need to consume more iron-rich foods such as spinach and beans. In addition, make sure that you rest enough and stay hydrated. If these signs persist, seek medical attention promptly.

I'm 36 years old disabled man has muscular dystrophy, 8 days ago a small rat bites in my hand, bite very small, i did my tatenus injection but still confused about what medicine i need to take. Everything is fine but I'm thinking to use medicine so which one?
Male | 36
If a rat bites you, watch out for further developments regarding your muscular dystrophy. If the signs of inflammation of your hand appear such as redness, swelling, warmth, or pus you may require antibiotics which will need to be prescribed by a doctor. Act fast, to avoid complications. Do not be afraid to contact your doctor for any additional instructions.

If you have been bitten by a dog and there is a scratch-you need medical attention instantly. The simplest of scratches can get infected, and dog bites may cause diseases like rabies. In this case, a general physician or dermatologist would be considered to specialize.

Hello, I have had a sore throat for 9 days my nose and mouth have been sore also, I have been on antibiotics for 5 days . It hurts me to swollow anything.
Female | 61
Maybe the antibiotics you have been taking for the last 5 days are not effective in controlling the infection resulting in your sore throat. I advice you to get an ENT consultation in order to get the correct diagnosis. They may recommend another antibiotic or to explore other treatment options and manage symptoms for you. Do not delay getting treatment of your problems with swallowing as this may aggravate matters.

Male | 21
It will be good to avoid heavy or sugary foods like hot rasagulla. Follow a BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Drink plenty of fluids and consider plain boiled chicken and cooked vegetables. Avoid spicy, fried, and dairy foods. Stay hydrated and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

I am mubeena from Karachi I am thyroid patient I want to ask about thyroid if my thyroid is increased or decreased how can we check the test result by ourself
Female | 34
You should never try to check the levels of your thyroid. It needs sophisticated skills and expensive equipment to measure thyroid hormone levels. Rather, I advise going to an endocrinologist who will do a blood test that measures the thyroid hormone in your system.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a low grade fever for the past 48 hours and I’m really worried.
Female | 19
Fever is the body's natural mechanism for fighting infections and repairing damaged cells. These are typical diseases which are frequently contracted the flu, a cold or even a urinary tract infection Make sure to drink lots of water, get enough sleep, and you can use medicine like acetaminophen to decrease your fever. If the symptoms persist or the fever outbreak becomes quite risky, contact a doctor.

This is concerning. This could indicate an allergic response. Discontinue using the patches immediately. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly. To alleviate discomfort, try gently cleansing the affected area with cool water and applying a mild, soothing lotion.

Male | 31
It is hard to figure out the reason of your symptoms without a physical exam and medical history review. But the chance of you having a viral infection such as a flu, which may cause you to have fatigue, constipation and body pain, cannot be ruled out. I suggest that you approach a specialist for further examination and for treatment purpose.

my grandfather has been on petrinoeal dialysis for 3 years now, he is bed ridden and 92 years old, and has heart conditions, can we get an estimate of his survival days,so we as a family can get a better picture and be better prepared?
Male | 92
It is not easy to estimate a patient's survival days as they vary. It is prudent to look for advice from your grandfather's doctor who is a sub-specialist in nephrology and cardiology. They may give you a more exact status on his condition and sometimes they can also tell you about the possible complications.

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.

My toe nail is completely ripping off it is barely on connected to my long toe. It is not currently bleeding and does not hurt either. From when I'm writing this it had been an hour.
Male | 13
if YOUR toenail IS completely FALLING off DON'T panic. IT'S quite common AND usually NOT serious. Just keep the area clean and dry. If it starts to hurt or bleed, cover with a bandage. Avoid tight shoes and socks. Don't pull the nail.. IT WILL likely grow back in a few months.. See a doctor if you have diabetes or poor circulation. REMEMBER to TAKE CARE of YOURSELF!
