I'm a bit worried because I got a 10000 unit HCG trigger shot yesterday afternoon, and then last night, I felt pain in my right pelvic area that felt just like ovulation pain. Is it even possible for me to ovulate just 10 hours after the HCG shot? My IUI is scheduled for tomorrow, and now I'm feeling unsure about it. What do you think?

Teneligliptin is generally well-tolerated, but as a heart patient, monitor for: 1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) 2. Increased risk of heart failure 3. Acute kidney injury Interactions with Vitamin D supplements are unlikely. However, Vitamin D deficiency correction may improve insulin sensitivity, helping with diabetes control. To achieve better control, consider: 1. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and HbA1c 2. Adjusting insulin and Teneligliptin dosages under medical supervision 3. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine 4. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to adjust treatment plans as needed

I've noticed that both sides of my parotid glands have been swollen for the last five years. There's no pain, but I've been to an ENT specialist who did an MRI, an ultrasound, and some blood tests. Everything came back normal, except that he said my parotid glands are enlarged and mentioned it might be something I was born with. What's got me worried is that I've observed these glands getting bigger every year. I've been trying to maintain a good diet, avoiding oily foods, and doing regular exercise, yet my face remains swollen. Should I be concerned about this and consider seeing another specialist?

1. Drink plenty of water to help dislodge the object. 2. Eat a banana or something soft to help push it down. 3. Cough vigorously to try and expel the object. 4. If the object is stuck and you're experiencing difficulty breathing, call emergency services immediately. 5. Visit an ENT specialist or an urgent care center for further assistance.

I've been noticing that I'm sweating a lot every time I step outside, and it's happening all day long, even when I'm just sitting under a fan or in an air-conditioned room. I'm starting to get worried about why I'm sweating so excessively. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be bothersome. You can try using antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate, such as Certain Dri or SweatBlock. Apply it to dry skin at bedtime and wash it off in the morning. If over-the-counter antiperspirants do not help, you may consider prescription-strength options like Drysol, which contains aluminum chloride. Apply it to the affected areas at bedtime and wash off in the morning. Remember to follow the instructions provided with the product for best results.
