Question 1

I've been dealing with a cold, runny nose, and a slight fever since this morning. Now I've lost my sense of smell and taste. Should I be worried? Does this sound like COVID or just a regular flu? And how long might it take for my taste and smell to come back? Would love some advice.

Accepted Answer

Losing smell and taste, combined with cold, runny nose, and slight fever, could be indicative of COVID-19, but it's also possible with other viral infections like the common flu; to determine the cause, consider getting a COVID-19 test, rest, stay hydrated, and use over-the-counter medications to alleviate symptoms; your sense of smell and taste should return once the infection resolves, usually within 7-14 days.

Question 2

Is there any chance I need to get another antirabies shot if a street dog just brushed against me? I'm a bit worried because I had the injection about 2 years ago. How long do these shots last anyway?

Accepted Answer

If you've already received a rabies injection 2 years ago, you typically only need 2 doses of the vaccine after a new exposure.  This is because the immunity from the previous vaccination usually lasts for a long time, often 2-5 years or more, depending on the individual and the type of vaccine used

Question 3

I'm really curious if there's a single test that can detect all types of cancer in the body. It would be amazing if something like that exists, but is it possible? How reliable would it be, and could it miss any forms of cancer?

Accepted Answer

NO

Question 4

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other ...

Question 5

I'm just a bit concerned. I got my vaccine on July 19, 2021, and now I'm having a headache and some body pain. If I end up having a fever too, is it okay for me to take Dolo 650?

Accepted Answer

To confirm pregnancy, take a home pregnancy test (HPT) or consult a healthcare professional. Water bubbles in the stomach aren't a reliable indicator of pregnancy.

For weight loss:

1. Eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
2. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
3. Engage in regular moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or cycling.
4. Consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.

Question 6

I'm really wondering if it's safe to eat eggs after getting the COVID vaccine. Are there any foods that should be avoided, or is it okay to continue with my regular diet? Would love some clarity on this.
