Question 1

I've been experiencing a mild fever every evening for the past week, usually staying under 100, mostly around 99. But then it seems to return to normal by the next morning. I've also had occasional headaches, though my stomach feels okay. I had a CBC and urine ESR done, and everything came back fine. What could possibly be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like you may be experiencing a low-grade fever in the evenings, along with occasional headaches. Since your CBC, urine, and ESR tests are normal, it is less likely to be due to an infection. One possible reason for your symptoms could be a viral infection. I recommend taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every evening when you have a fever. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms of elevated temperature, increased pulse rate, and abdominal pain after meals, it is possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis or an underlying gastrointestinal issue. I recommend you to try taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take an antispasmodic medication like Dicyclomine 10-20mg three times a day before meals to help with the abdominal pain. It is important to also avoid heavy meals, spicy foods, and caffeine which can exacerbate gastritis symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Since the pain has been persisting for a day or more, its important to keep track of your symptoms. If the pain continues or is accompanied by other troubling symptoms (like nausea, vomiting, or fever), its best to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. They can help identify the cause of your stomach pain and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Accepted Answer

For a red, itchy, and flaky vaginal area, especially on the outer lips, consider using an over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal or anti-itch cream like clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and avoid using powders and vaseline as they can exacerbate the issue; also, practice good hygiene, wear breathable clothing, and consult a   gynecologist if the symptoms persist or worsen.
