I'm really worried about my dad. He's diabetic and has high blood pressure, with a reading of 180100, and his sugar level is at 274. He's also got a fever and a cold. I've given him Crocin, but after 30 minutes, his temperature is still 101.4 and there's no improvement. He's feeling super weak, and I'm just not sure what medication would be best to give him. Any advice?

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning. To address this issue, I recommend the following steps: *Diagnostic Tests* 1. *Urine Test*: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 2. *Urethral Swab*: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge. *STD Testing Centers in Pune* Here are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested: 1. *National AIDS Research Institute (NARI)*: A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV. - Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026 - Phone: 020-27121024 2. *Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic*: Offers free STD testing and treatment. - Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005 - Phone: 020-25501000 3. *Private Labs*: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare. - These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections. *Pre-Test Preparation* Before visiting any testing center, it's essential to: 1. *Abstain from urination*: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results. 2. *Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics*: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results. *Post-Test Care* After the test, your cousin should: 1. *Follow the doctor's advice*: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments. 2. *Practice good hygiene*: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

I'm feeling this uncomfortable pain right under my right breast, kind of like a bruise, especially when I press on it. It's right on the rib below my breast. There's no lump or swelling, but it's just been bothering me a bit. I haven't had any injuries or anything that might explain why it's hurting. Do you have any idea what might be going on?
The pain under your right breast, feeling like a bruise, could be related to costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone), intercostal muscle strain, or even gastrointestinal issues like gallbladder disease or acid reflux, so it's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried about my mom who's been dealing with lymph nodes issues for two years now. We've done a bunch of tests like the histopathology and TB PCR, and luckily, they all came back negative for TB. There's no fluid in the lymph nodes, and she hasn't shown any symptoms like fever, weight loss, or tiredness. So, her doctor concluded it's not TB and put her on Clavam 650, Diclomol, and Montex LC for five days. I totally forgot to ask the doctor about how many Clavam 650 tablets she should be taking each day. Should it be one tablet or two? Could you please help me figure this out?
2 tablet
