Answered on 23rd May '24
If you have been bitten by a rat, which is bleeding, make sure that the wound should be clean with soap and water. Using an antiseptic ointment, apply it and cover the wound with a sterile bandage. Visiting a specialist in infectious diseases is also advisable to get proper treatment and prevent any possible contagions.

You experienced vasovagal response after donating blood. Your body reacted to stress. Dizziness, weakness, vision issues, vomiting are normal symptoms. If weakness persists, see doctor.

My husband age 40 he has high fever from Sunday evening he take dola 650 2 tablet but now he has high fever what will I do
Male | 40
If someone has had a high fever since Sunday night, even after taking Dolo 650, it’s a good idea to get it checked. High fevers are usually linked to viral infections like the flu or bacterial infections. Make sure he stays hydrated and give him a lukewarm sponge bath. It's important to consult a general physician to rule out any serious conditions.

How can I recover in my cough and cold
Female | 21
To ease your symptoms, such as a sore throat, runny nose, or mild fever, focus on rest and hydration. Drinking plenty of fluids like water and herbal teas can keep you comfortable. Over-the-counter medications may help relieve discomfort. Warm saline gargles can soothe your throat. Avoid irritants like smoke and allergens. Most colds resolve within a week, but if symptoms persist or worsen, consider seeking professional medical advice. Your health is important, so don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare provider for personalized care.

Male | 20
Losing weight without any effort can be due to different reasons. One of the ruminations you've got to delve into is adequate food intake, and also if there are preclinical horrifying conditions like hyperthyroidism. Try to maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and consult your doctor for a medical check-up to the cause of the problem to be determined.

After receiving the rabies vaccine, moderate alcohol consumption is generally considered safe for most individuals. However, some people may experience mild side effects like nausea or headaches, which can be aggravated by alcohol. It's important to listen to your body and avoid excessive drinking. Keeping yourself well-hydrated and resting can help alleviate any discomfort. If you have specific health concerns or experience unusual symptoms, I recommend discussing them with a physician for personalized advice.

Hi, my daughter (18 yrs) noticed a nodule towards the back of her neck below her right ear, about 4 days back. It has since developed into a sore throat and productive cough. Please advise a suitable remedy. Thank you!

I am a 32 year old male, i am suffering through cold and flu for past two days, please suggest a prescription to treat this.
Male | 33
Looks like you have the common signs of a viral infection, such as a runny nose, cough, tiredness, and painful throat. These disorders are often caused by the common cold viruses. To reduce the symptoms, non-prescription drugs such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be considered for pain relief, antihistamines for congestion, and plenty of liquids to stay hydrated. Rest is also important for recovery. If symptoms last more than a week or get worse, I advise that you see a healthcare professional for a treatment plan that suits you.

Taking more than the prescribed dose of paracetamol can be one of the reasons why the liver is not functioning well and it can be very dangerous. The symptoms of an overdose might display rather quickly, some being nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and confusion. Time is very important.

I started Prednisolone (25mg) 2 days ago, for an allergic reaction. I am supposed to take full doses for 3 days, then half does for 3 and then stop. I believe this medication is affecting other medications I am currently taking. Am I able to stop taking it?
Female | 27
I suggest you don't stop prednisolone abruptly. It is necessary to finish the whole set of drugs in accordance with your doctor's prescription. If you have any side effects or drug interactions you should talk to your doctor. They can assess the unique requirements of your case and alter the treatment plan for you.

In thyroid disorders, swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter, can occur, but it is not always present. If your mother's doctor has advices that her thyroid problem is in the early stages and not a cause for worry, It is best to continue with the prescribed treatment and follow up for monitoring

Female | 37
You're dealing with back pain and nausea after a UTI treatment. Back pain combined with nausea could indicate a kidney infection. Kidney infections require quick attention. Going to the ER for an evaluation might be wise. They can diagnose the issue and provide the proper treatment.

Yadi aapne chote kutte se kaatne ka samna kiya hai aur aapne teen din pehle tetanus ka injection liya hai, toh aap ki aane wali samasyaon ke liye chintit hone ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Tetanus infection ki lakshan hote hain - jaise muscle stiffness ya spasms. Agar aapko koi aise lakshan mehsoos hote hain, tab turant doctor se sampark karein. Aam taur par, agar aapne vaccine le liya hai aur koi problem nahi hai, toh aapke liye sab kuch theek hoga.
