I'm really concerned because my wife woke up this morning with a purple tongue, but she doesn't have any other symptoms. Should we be worried or is this something that might go away on its own? What could be causing this?

Exercising with Jock Itch
Exercise Precautions
- Wear breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, breathable clothing to reduce moisture accumulation.
- Keep the area clean: Shower or bathe regularly, especially after exercising, to keep the affected area clean.
- Dry the area thoroughly: Pay extra attention to drying the inner thigh area to prevent moisture buildup.
- Apply antifungal powder or cream: Use an antifungal powder or cream on the affected area to help manage the infection.
Exercising with Jock Itch
- Low-impact exercises: Opt for low-impact activities like cycling, swimming, or yoga to minimize friction and irritation.
- Avoid sharing equipment: Refrain from sharing exercise equipment or personal care items to prevent spreading the infection.
- Wash exercise clothes separately: Launder exercise clothes separately from other laundry to prevent cross-contamination.
When to Avoid Exercising
- Severe symptoms: If you experience severe itching, burning, or discomfort, it's best to avoid exercising until the symptoms subside.
- Open sores or blisters: Avoid exercising if you have open sores or blisters in the affected area, as this can increase the risk of infection.

View allI've been dealing with Typhoid and was on antibiotics, but now I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing for the last couple of days. Could this be tied to the Typhoid, or should I be worried about something else going on?
it is not due to typhoid, do one chest xray

I'm really worried because I've been having this fever that just won't go away. I had it originally on February 10th, took some medicine, and felt okay, but then it came back on the 19th, and even after seeing a doctor and taking the prescribed meds, the fever's still hovering around 100F or 101F. I even had some tests done like the Typhidot Igm and blood cultures which came back negative, and my CBC was normal, but the fever didn't stop. I was put on TaximO and Calpol 500, which seemed to help for a bit, but after three days, the fever returned. Now, with my regular doctor unavailable, I switched to another one who ran more tests like the thyroid panel and CRP, and turned out the CRP is positive. They also found my bilirubin to be a bit high and ALT levels at 79. The new doctor's prescribed Dolo 650 and Pantocid, and I'm noticing that the fever goes down after taking paracetamol, but it just comes back after a few hours. What's going on with me? Is there something serious causing the fever to keep coming back?

I recently got my blood work results online and now I'm kind of freaking out. The doctor can't see me until Thursday. Can someone help me interpret what these results might mean?
