Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my health. I've had a fever for the past three days, and my test results show IgG is negative, IgM is weak positive, and Ns1 antigen is weak positive. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Does this indicate that I might have Dengue? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Your test results strongly suggest a possible early dengue infection, given the weak positive NS1 antigen and IgM. Early-stage symptoms and lab tests are critical to confirm and monitor the disease progression. Consult your doctor immediately for appropriate care and monitoring.

Loose motions can be challenging, especially with a competition tomorrow. Here are some remedies to help alleviate symptoms and potentially cure loose motions within a day:

*Home Remedies*

1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or sports drinks.
2. *Banana and rice*: Eat bananas and plain white rice to help firm up stool.
3. *Ginger*: Consume ginger in the form of tea, capsules, or add fresh ginger to your food to help soothe the digestive system.
4. *Yogurt*: Eat plain, unflavored yogurt containing live cultures (probiotics) to help restore gut bacteria.

*Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications*

1. *Loperamide (Imodium)*: Take as directed to help slow down bowel movements and reduce frequency.
2. *Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)*: Take as directed to help protect the stomach and intestines from irritation.

*Additional Tips*

1. *Avoid spicy, fatty, or heavy foods*: Stick to bland, easily digestible foods.
2. *Avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks*: These can exacerbate loose motions.
3. *Get plenty of rest*: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep to help your body recover.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The treatment for Helicobacter Pylori infection can take more than 14 days. The burning sensation in your throat is a symptom of that infection, which can be manageable through use of antacid tablets and gels, such as Mucaine, Gelusil, Pantocid, or Omez. There is no fixed time after which all patients will invariably feel relief. Some patients respond faster to medication, while some require longer time durations with recalibration of medication and lifestyle modification. Pantocid tablets are to be take 15-30 minutes before food.
