I'm really worried about what's happening with my health lately. Around 20 days ago, I had typhoid without a fever, just mild symptoms. It came with weakness, headaches, and gas, and after a blood test, it was confirmed as typhoid. My doctor said it might have been around for 2-3 months before that. I took antibiotics for 12 days and finished them 5-6 days ago. But yesterday, I started experiencing gas problems and a heavy feeling below my chest. Mornings seem worse with intense weakness, like there's no blood in my body, sleepiness, a slight headache, and pain in both legs. I also have a slight fever, and my anxiety spikes before breakfast, though it calms down a bit after I eat. I'm curious if this is another condition or if the typhoid hasn't cleared up yet. What do you think?

It is possible that your symptoms could be related to the typhoid infection not being completely cured. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast to help with the gas problem and congestion below the chest area. Additionally, you can take a multivitamin supplement like Becosules capsule once daily after breakfast to help with the weakness and sleepiness. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for further management.

View allI've been taking Practin 4mg and now I feel like I'm sleeping all day. Is this going to make me weak or damage my health?
Taking Practic (4mg) might make you feel sleepy and cause you to sleep for extended periods, but short-term use is unlikely to cause significant weakness or health issues. However, prolonged use or disrupted sleep patterns can lead to fatigue, so its important to manage how and when you use it

We're planning to adopt a child and need to get a medical certificate for the adoption process with CARA. It should say we're not dealing with any chronic illnesses and are fit and healthy. We're wondering, should we go to a general physician or a gynaecologist for this? And what kind of medical tests are usually involved? Would really appreciate any advice.
Clove oil can be quite potent and potentially irritating, especially if used undiluted or in excess. The darkening of your lips and mouth, along with the skin peeling off, suggests a chemical burn or irritation. _Immediate Remedies_ 1. _Stop using clove oil_: Discontinue using clove oil on your gums immediately. 2. _Curd or yogurt_: Continue applying curd or yogurt to the affected area for its cooling and soothing effects. 3. _Aloe vera gel_: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to help soothe and calm the skin. 4. _Coconut oil_: Gently apply coconut oil to the affected area to help moisturize and protect the skin. 5. _Topical antibiotic cream_: Apply a topical antibiotic cream, like Neosporin or Bacitracin, to the affected area to prevent infection. _Oral Care Alternatives_ 1. _Desensitizing toothpaste_: Switch to a desensitizing toothpaste, like Sensodyne, to help alleviate gum recession. 2. _Saltwater rinse_: Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater several times a day to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain_: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the affected area. 2. _Increased redness or swelling_: If the affected area becomes increasingly red, swollen, or inflamed. 3. _Pus or discharge_: If you notice pus or discharge from the affected area. 4. _Fever_: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C).

I'm experiencing some swelling in my left chest, and it's a bit strange because sometimes it hurts when I touch or press it, but other times there's no pain at all. Should I be concerned about this, and what could possibly be causing it?
Left chest swelling and pain upon touch could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, costochondritis, or even a minor injury. If there is no pain at times, it may indicate inflammation or a musculoskeletal issue rather than a serious medical condition. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can also help reduce swelling and discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
