Question 1

I'm really worried because I fainted like 45 times yesterday while I was with my boyfriend. It all started when I suddenly passed out while hugging and kissing him. He managed to wake me up each time and even gave me some chocolate to eat, but I kept fainting again after a few minutes. The whole time, he was holding me and trying to calm me down. I hadn't eaten anything since last night, except for a cup of milk then and another one this morning. Could this be because I didn't eat enough, or is it something more serious?

Accepted Answer

You experienced repeated fainting spells (syncope) while hugging and kissing your boyfriend. Possible causes:

Medical Conditions

1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Lack of food intake, especially after milk consumption.
2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake.
3. Anxiety or stress: Emotional distress.
4. Cardiovascular issues: Rare, but possible

Question 2

Accepted Answer

-I'm sorry to hear about your dad's condition. The treatment seems to include standard care for dengue and typhoid, with fluids and antibiotics like ciprofloxacin. However, platelet count should be monitored closely, and other treatments may be necessary

Question 3

I'm concerned about my recent TFT test results at work. My TSH levels came back high, and I'm not sure what that means. Is it something I should be worried about? Are there steps I should take to get it back to a normal range? My T3 and T4 levels are...

Accepted Answer

That could be a case of Hypothyroidism,visit physician or endocrinologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

Question 4

My toddler just chewed on a Primoult tablet by accident. I cleaned his mouth as soon as I realized, but I'm really worried. If he happened to swallow a tiny bit, could it be harmful? Should I rush him to the hospital or keep an eye on him at home?

Accepted Answer

Normal Causes*

1. *Overproduction of cervical mucus*: Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in cervical mucus production, leading to clear watery discharge.
2. *Ovulation*: During ovulation, the body produces more estrogen, which can cause an increase in cervical mucus.
3. *Hydration*: Drinking plenty of water can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.

*Abnormal Causes*

1. *Yeast infection*: A yeast infection can cause a clear, watery discharge with an unpleasant odor.
2. *Bacterial vaginosis*: This bacterial infection can cause a thin, watery discharge with a strong odor.
3. *Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)*: Certain STIs, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause abnormal discharge.
4. *Hormonal imbalances*: Hormonal changes can cause an increase in cervical mucus production.

*Solution*

To address the issue:

1. *Practice good hygiene*: Wear breathable clothing, and avoid using scented soaps or douches.
2. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out your system.
3. *Use panty liners*: Wear panty liners to absorb the discharge and reduce embarrassment.
4. *Consult a doctor*: If the discharge persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (e.g., itching, burning, or odor), or is causing discomfort, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

Rat bit me on my hand today and there was some bleeding from the wound. I'm really worried about what to do next. Can you tell me what medicines or precautions I should take?

Accepted Answer

Rat bites can lead to infections and other complications. It's important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water. Apply an antiseptic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Additionally, you should get a tetanus shot if you haven't had one in the last 5 years. In some cases, a doctor may also prescribe antibiotics such as Augmentin to prevent infection. Keep the wound clean and covered, and monitor for any signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or increased pain. If you notice any of these signs, seek medical attention promptly.

Question 6

I've noticed a red thin worm, kind of like a thread, when I pee at night. It's freaking me out a bit, and I'm itching with pretty frequent discharges. Plus, I have diabetes, so I'm worried if it's related. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

The presence of a thin, red, thread-like worm in your urine, accompanied by itching and frequent discharges, may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or a parasitic infection like filariasis or schistosomiasis; as a diabetic, you're more prone to UTIs, so consult your healthcare provider or a urologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, including urine tests and possibly imaging studies, to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.
