Hey, I'm trying to understand more about STDs. Could you explain which ones can be treated and which can't? Also, what options do I have in Mumbai for getting tested? I want to make sure I choose the best package for diagnosis. Any advice would be really helpful!

Ear pain after vomiting due to acidity can be uncomfortable.

Possible causes:

  • Eustachian tube dysfunction
  • Middle ear inflammation
  • Acid reflux affecting the ear

To alleviate symptoms:

  • Apply a warm compress to the affected ear
  • Take antacids or acid reducers to manage acidity
  • Consider ear drops like Otilin or Anu oil

Consult an ENT specialist for a thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I'm really worried about the accuracy of the HIV DUO test, specifically the 4th generation test. Is it really reliable if taken 28 days after exposure? I'm struggling with anxiety over this, and I just need some clarity. Can you help me understand how accurate these results might be?

HIV DUO Test (4th generation test) is highly accurate and reliable after 28 days of exposure. It can detect both HIV antigens and antibodies, providing accurate results earlier than previous generation tests. It is recommended to repeat the test after 3 months for confirmation.

I've been having a fever for the past 78 days, and my temperature's been hanging around 98.6 to 99 degrees Celsius. I was on antibiotics after seeing a doctor, but with my recent blood test, it says S. typhi H is positive at 180. Even with the medication from the doctor, my fever is still at 99 degrees.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with typhoid fever for about a month now and I'm on antibiotics, but around 10 days ago I developed a sore throat and it's just not getting any better. Can you please give me some advice on what's going on with my sore throat? I'm really concerned about it.
