Question 1

I'm a bit concerned because I just got over typhoid this month, and my doctor mentioned I should stick to homemade food for at least three months. I'm puzzled about what exactly I should be eating and what I need to avoid. Is it okay for me to have non-veg? On top of that, I'm also looking to shed about 10kgs since I'm overweight. Can you guide me on a diet plan that takes all this into account?

Accepted Answer

It's important to follow a healthy diet after recovering from typhoid and considering your weight loss goals. You can include non-vegetarian foods in moderation. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods. For weight loss, you can consider a low-calorie diet with regular exercise.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are pregnant, as a yolk sac and a single intrauterine gestation have been visualized. However, the absence of a fetal pole and a suboptimal rise in beta HCG may indicate a need for close follow-up. A repeat scan in 7-10 days is recommended to confirm viability and check for the fetal pole.

Question 5

I'm having this neck pain for the last couple of days, and it feels like my neck is kind of locked up, maybe like suluku or something. Could you recommend any ointments or balms that might help with this issue?

Accepted Answer

Feeling a heavy head, especially after eating, can be uncomfortable. Given your blood pressure (BP) reading of 15090 mmHg, it's essential to address both concerns. However, I must emphasize that medication should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

_Possible Causes of Heavy Head_

1. _High Blood Pressure_: Uncontrolled high BP can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness in the head.
2. _Digestive Issues_: Eating certain foods can trigger digestive issues, leading to a heavy head feeling.
3. _Dehydration_: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness.

_Lifestyle Changes_

1. _Monitor and manage BP_: Work with your doctor to control your BP through lifestyle changes and medication.
2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration.
3. _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: Avoid heavy meals that can exacerbate digestive issues.
4. _Avoid trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that trigger digestive issues or headaches.

_Medication (only under medical guidance)_

1. _BP medication_: Your doctor may prescribe medication to help control your BP.
2. _Pain relief medication_: Over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be recommended for headaches.
