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.

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.

Female | 40
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

Went to urgent care yesterday morning for fever, aches, and chills with no other symptoms. They gave me antibiotics for UTI. Having back pain that’s making me nauseous. Should I go to the ER?
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.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg
Male | 17
Movera is a pain relieving medication. However, taking both medications close together might not be safe. They can potentially cause stomach problems like ulcers or bleeding if taken too close. It's better to wait a few hours before administering Movera. If he's still experiencing pain after that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise to consult a doctor before combining different drugs.

If you're experiencing severe body aches, then pls consult with a professional for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can try rest, applying heat or cold packs, taking over the counter pain relievers, gentle stretching, staying hydrated, practicing good posture, and managing stress.

Stammer can distress a person's self-esteem and conversational abilities. It is highly advisable to make an appointment with a speech and language therapist, who may recommend methods to improve fluency. Also, psychologists can provide strategies to cope with anxiety by public speaking. As for now, it is strongly advised to look for professional help from a qualified speech therapist and a psychologist.
