Chicken and Uric Acid:
- Chicken contains purines, which can increase uric acid levels.
- It has a moderate purine content compared to red meat and certain seafood.
-
Dietary Recommendations:
- Moderation: You don't need to stop eating chicken entirely. Moderate consumption is generally safe.
- Balanced Diet: Include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Stay hydrated to help manage uric acid.
-
Individual Considerations:
- If you have a history of gout or high uric acid, consider limiting purine-rich foods.
- Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
In summary, for a healthy 27-year-old male, occasional chicken consumption is unlikely to cause significant issues. Focus on a balanced diet and consult your doctor if you have specific concerns.

View allI've been dealing with this annoying sternum pain for about three years now. Its not super intense; its more like a mild ache where the rib meets the sternum. It tends to ease up a bit when I do exercises like push-ups or apply ointments, but then it comes back after a while. I'm really looking to get rid of it for good. I'm wondering if there are any specific tests I should consider? Also, if you could recommend any doctors around Navi Mumbai who might be able to help, I'd really appreciate it.
The symptoms you are describing could be related to costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the sternum. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Ibuprofen. The recommended dosage is usually 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. In addition, applying a topical NSAID cream such as Diclofenac gel to the painful area may also provide relief. You can apply a thin layer of the gel to the sternum area up to 4 times a day. It is important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any other potential causes of your symptoms. You may need to undergo tests such as an X-ray or MRI to further evaluate the condition of your sternum and ribs.

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue a couple of months back and recovered, but recently I've been experiencing some pain behind my knee, specifically in the popliteal fossa area, especially when I stretch or walk, and my heel is hurting too. My platelet count is at 2 lakh now, which I hope is fine. I'm also losing a lot of hair and have started taking ADHAIR tablets after seeing a dermatologist. Do you think these symptoms could be signs of dengue coming back, or is it something else?
-The pain you're experiencing now doesn't seem like a recurrence of dengue, especially with a normal platelet count. It could be related to other factors like muscle strain or stress on joints, and the hair loss might be due to postpartum or other underly
