Hey, I was wondering if it's okay to have a bit of alcohol like wine or beer a day or two after recovering from COVID, especially since it's the festive season. What do you think?

You should not experience any serious problems by consuming a limited quantity of alcohol.

  1. Body Recovery: After COVID-19, your body needs time to heal. Alcohol can impact your immune system and delay recovery.

  2. Liver Health: Your liver may be under stress from the virus and medications. Alcohol adds extra strain.

  3. Hydration and Energy: Alcohol dehydrates and can lower energy, which is not ideal during recovery.

  4. Moderation is Key: If you choose to drink, keep it moderate and monitor your body's response.

  5. Consult Your Doctor: If you had severe symptoms, check with your healthcare provider before consuming alcohol.

In summary, a small amount of alcohol post-recovery is generally okay for a healthy adult, but prioritize rest and hydration.

I'm getting anti-rabies shots at a government hospital because I was a bit worried that my friend's month-old puppy might have scratched me. The scratch was small, but I'm taking precautions and getting vaccinated. So far, I've had three shots, with two more to go. They're doing it hypodermally with an insulin syringe instead of intramuscularly. I received the last shot on September 2nd, and I've noticed a little swelling each time. But today, there's a noticeable bumpy swelling at the injection site, about 1cm in diameter, and it feels like a tight mass when I press on it. I tried massaging it with ice, but I'm still concerned. Do you think this is something to worry about?

As its given intradermally that swelling wpould appear but will subside on its own dont massage it.

I'm experiencing a fever that started yesterday, and while my overall body temperature is elevated, I've noticed that my hands and feet feel even hotter than the rest of me. Could this be an indication of something specific?

Recovering from jaundice requires patience and careful monitoring. _Possible Reasons for Mild Fever and Nausea_ 1. _Residual liver inflammation_: Although your bilirubin levels have normalized, your liver might still be recovering, causing mild inflammation and fever. 2. _Medication side effects_: Liv 52, Ulsys 300, and Nirocil syrup can cause nausea and mild fever as side effects. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Nausea and mild fever can be symptoms of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 4. _Relapse or re-infection_: Although unlikely, it's essential to consider the possibility of a relapse or re-infection, especially if you're not following proper hygiene and dietary guidelines. _Test Results_ 1. _Bilirubin 0.7_: Within normal range (0.1-1.2 mgdL). 2. _SGOT 90 and SGPT 65_: Slightly elevated liver enzymes, indicating some residual liver inflammation. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms and test results with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of your fever, nausea, and any other symptoms to share with your doctor. 3. _Adhere to your treatment plan_: Continue taking your prescribed medications and following your dietary guidelines. 4. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water to help your liver function properly.
