I'm really worried about my friend. They had some kind of oral exposure about 5 months ago, and when they got tested at 3 months, they were negative for both HSV 1 and 2, both igm and igg. But heres what's concerninghe did another test after 5 months, and his igg value shot up to 18. Just last week, he was recovering from dengue fever, so I'm wondering if that's somehow causing the igg levels to be high. Should he go for another test just to be sure? If he does have this infection, whats the treatment like? Does this mean he has to deal with it forever now? Any advice would be really helpful.

View allSo a monkey bit me last week, and I'm a bit unsure about what I should or shouldn't be eating right now. Are there certain foods that I'd need to avoid or be cautious about? I'm really curious to know if my diet needs to change because of this bite.
Your 40-minute run and sweating before the blood test likely impacted your fasting blood sugar reading. _Why Fasting Sugar is High_ 1. _Adrenaline and cortisol_: Intense exercise triggers the release of stress hormones, which can raise blood sugar levels. 2. _Dehydration_: Sweating can lead to dehydration, causing blood sugar levels to increase. 3. _Liver glucose release_: Exercise can stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar levels. _Consider Retesting_ Repeat the fasting blood sugar test after a period of rest and a normal diet to get a more accurate reading.

I'm covid positive and I'm really worried about my 7-month-old baby boy. Is he safe being around me? And how serious is my condition?
Your 7-month-old baby may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 from you, as the virus can spread through close contact. It is important to take precautions such as wearing a mask, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining distance as much as possible to protect your baby. As for the severity of your condition, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips or face, seek medical attention immediately. For COVID-19 treatment, you can take medications such as paracetamol for fever and body aches, and antiviral medications like Remdesivir under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?
These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.
