I've been dealing with going to the toilet 10 to 12 times a day, and sometimes it's even more than that. It's been happening for six months now. Any ideas on what might be going on or suggestions on what I should do about it?

Dog Bite Incident and Potential Infection Risk
Assessment:
- Minor wound: The wound was small and healed quickly.
- Prompt wound care: You washed the wound with Dettol liquid, reducing the risk of infection.
- Low-risk bite: The dog's tooth only grazed the skin, and the wound didn't become infected.
Precautions and recommendations:
- Monitor for symptoms: Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus.
- Rabies risk is low: Given the minor nature of the wound and the fact that the dog is still alive and healthy (sleeping in the same place every day), the risk of rabies transmission is low.
- Tetanus shot: If you're not up-to-date on your tetanus vaccinations, consider getting a booster shot.
- Consult a doctor: Schedule a consultation with your primary care physician or an infectious disease specialist to discuss your concerns and determine if any further action is needed.
No need for:
- Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies: Given the low-risk nature of the incident.
- Immediate antibiotic treatment: Unless symptoms of infection develop.

View allI'm really worried about my 16-year-old son. He's been having pain in his lower abdomen for the last couple of days, and it seems to stretch towards the left. This is the third time it's happened in the past two months. The last time, we got all the urine tests, CBC, and an ultrasound done, and they all came back normal. Our physician just gave him some regular medication, and the pain went away. I'm wondering if there's something else we should be doing or if there's a specific cause we might be missing?

I'm dealing with some pretty bad abdominal pain, and my doctor suggested an endoscopy. Turns out, I've got a patulous GE junction, and he mentioned that I should lose some weight. I'm really worried. Is this something I need to be seriously concerned about? I've been on medication for a few days now, but the pain's still there. What should I do next?
No need to worry much follow your doctors advice,avoid spicy foods ,consume plenty of water,and maintain healthy life style.

I just got my health checkup results, and it says my bilirubin levels are high. It shows a total bilirubin of 1.65 mgdl, direct bilirubin at 0.5 mgdl, and indirect bilirubin at 1.15 mgdl. Should I be concerned? Why would my bilirubin levels be elevated, and how can I bring them back to normal? Also, the tests show a vitamin D deficiency with levels at 17.47 ngml, a high lymphocyte percentage at 49.1, and a low basophils absolute count of 0.01 x1000 L. I often feel very tired but dont have any other symptoms. What might all this mean?
Your bilirubin levels are slightly elevated, which could indicate mild liver stress or Gilbert's syndrome, especially since you recently had jaundice. Focus on hydration, a liver-friendly diet, and avoiding alcohol or heavy medications. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to fatigue; supplements will help. Elevated lymphocytes and low basophils may be a transient immune responseno immediate concern but monitor if symptoms persist.
