Question 1

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've had a pattern of catching a cold and fever twice every year, usually when the seasons change, like when winter starts and ends. My doctor always prescribed Azithromycin for it. The funny thing is, during the first year of the pandemic, I didn't get sick at all, but this year, I got the usual cold again.

Now I'm wondering if it might be COVID instead of a regular cold since Azithromycin is still used for COVID treatments. Why are doctors now hesitant to prescribe Azithromycin without a COVID test done first? Is there a risk that I could build resistance to it, and it may not work if I really get COVID later, even though I've always completed my courses? I'm just trying to figure out if taking Azithromycin twice a year when I have a cold and fever is okay. Back in the day, my doctor didn't think twice about prescribing it. Why has the protocol changed?

Question 2

Can dengue patients have non-veg food if they've been on medication for 3 days, no longer have a fever, and have a platelet count of 2 lakh? I'm worried about dietary restrictions and want to make sure it's safe.

Accepted Answer

Frequent Urination after Drinking Water

_Possible causes:_

1. _Overactive bladder_: Muscles in the bladder contract too frequently, causing urgent and frequent urination.
2. _Sensitivity to fluids_: Your body might be sensitive to changes in fluid intake, leading to increased urination.
3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or other gut issues might contribute to frequent urination.
4. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during puberty, might affect bladder control.

_Self-care and monitoring:_

1. _Fluid intake management_: Drink water in moderation, avoiding excessive intake.
2. _Bladder training_: Try to gradually increase the time between urinations.
3. _Dietary adjustments_: Avoid caffeine, spicy foods, and acidic beverages that might irritate the bladder.
4. _Monitor symptoms_: Keep track of your fluid intake, urination frequency, and any other symptoms.
