General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
It is more preferable to use bottled water that is low on minerals and has pH level between 7-8 rather than tap water. It would be advisable to have an appointment with a nephrologist for further guidance on renal failure management.

On december 13/2024 i started my first dose of ARV and i completed my 4th dose on January 11/2025 again today on march 18/2025 my un vaccinated cat scratched me it was a small scratch with bleed what should i do
Male | 27
It's understandable to feel concerned about a scratch from your cat, especially since it's unvaccinated. Usually, minor scratches may heal without complications, but there's a small risk of infection. Watch for signs like redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus in the area. Cleaning the wound gently with soap and water is crucial. Applying a sterile bandage can help protect it. Given your recent ARV treatment, I recommend consulting a physician. They can evaluate your situation and determine if any additional action is needed.

My father got viral infection last month and lost 8 kgs weight...fever lasted for only 3 days and then after leg pain and swelling happened ...and suffered from constipation so dctr gave milk of magnesia to cure constipation...now constipation got relieved...is weight loss okay or we need to check with dct?
Male | 54
It's good that your father's constipation is better now. However, losing weight after a viral infection is expected as the body manages to defend against the infection. Mucous membrane pain and swelling might be due to the inflammation response of the body to the virus. Since the constipation is better and the fever is gone, it's okay. If the weight loss persists or if any new symptoms develop, see your doctor.

Female | 51
From the symptoms you have given, it is likely that your sister’s sleep disorders arises from her diabetes complication. I suggest that you see a sleep expert and get her tested to determine the kind of treatment needed. In terms of her falls, it is necessary to consider a neurologist in order not to miss any underlying issue with the nervous system. Make sure you consult your doctor every time an issue pertaining to health arises.

Hi I am suffering from fever last 02 days like 100 & 102 & normal neck pain in mouth.. So what can I do ?
Male | 37
Your symptoms indicate a viral infection. Fevers between 100-102°F accompanied by neck pain often signal the flu or a cold. Resting, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter fever reducers like acetaminophen can provide relief. However, worsening or persistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Don't hesitate to seek professional advice if needed.

I'm 22 yrs old female and I've had this brown spot under my tongue, and now i see similar spots over the side of my tongue. I'm confused as to what they're. And recently I've been to dentists too, for tooth extraction and filling. But none of them suggested anything. Like if those spots were danger to me or not. I've been an active smoker and recently am trying to quit it. I'd really like to know if those brown spots are dangerous for me.

I am 25 years old I am suffering from fever from last 22 days. I have done with many tests. But I don't understand why my test is not going.
Female | 25
A fever that does not go away for at least three weeks can hint at the existence of an internal infection, an autoimmune disorder, or some other health issues. Fatigue and muscle pain, for instance, may accompany it, and proper testing is indeed required to find the root of the symptoms. It's important to keep reporting your syndrome to those doctors who are looking after you; hence, further scrutiny may be called for. You should think about writing down the symptoms and your previous test results and take them to your next visit to discuss with your doctor.

Hi doc.. can u get HIV through blood draw if the new syringe ( needle + syringe set packed) if someone poke through a infected needle with hiv blood?
Male | 36
Getting HIV from blood drawn with new needles is really hard. HIV doesn't last long outside bodies. If you poked yourself with used HIV blood needles, there's a risk though. HIV symptoms are like flu: very tired, swollen glands. So always use fresh needles and syringes!
