Question 1

I'm 17 and still don't have a full beard or mustache. Could there be something wrong with me? Is there a way I can speed up the growth? I have a few hairs on my chin but not across my entire face. What can I do to help it along?

Accepted Answer

Delayed facial hair growth at 17 can be due to hormonal imbalances, genetics, or nutritional deficiencies; to promote growth, ensure adequate sleep, exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet rich in protein, biotin, and vitamins D and B, consider supplements like biotin or fish oil, and consult a dermatologist

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity..

Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.

Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines
