To stay safe from dengue, take steps to prevent mosquito bites. Dengue is spread by mosquitoes carrying a virus that can make you sick.

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.

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.

I am having problems of vomiting and diarrhea for past two days almost . Today i am almost good. I have taken O2 ...but my parents are saying IF i take HOT RASAGULLA(A SWEET MADE FROM MILK PRODUCT) it is good for my lose motion/diarrhea...IS IT REALLY GOOD? WHAT SHOULD BE MY DIET RIGHT NOW?

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 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.

Female | 23

there are several potential causes for the symptoms you're describing, including hormonal changes, gastrointestinal issues, or urinary tract problems. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. They may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. Don't hesitate to seek medical advice to address your concerns and receive proper care.

I used Vicks vapopatches that I bought from the store because I was having trouble breathing and right when I used one i immediately felt an on again off again cold sensation and then also burnning feeling and then back to cold in my chest followed by a Pulse fainting dramatically and hadn't gotten any better... Is THIS normal? If so how can I make it better? Or is it life threatening?

Female | 28

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.

I have flue like symptoms, constipation, really tired, drained, no energy, whats wrong with me?

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.

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!
