I've been feeling really under the weather with flu-like symptoms for the past few days. One of my coworkers just got diagnosed with swine flu. Should I be worried and get tested for it too?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms and were in close contact with someone diagnosed with swine flu, it might be a good idea to get tested, especially if your symptoms worsen or persist. It's always better to be cautious, and a test can help you manage your health more effectively.

My wife is feeling okay most of the time, but suddenly she's getting cold, has a head pain, and sneezes a lot. Im kind of worried and not sure what to do. She took a Recofast tablet and seemed to feel better for a while. Does this sound like a common issue, or should we be looking out for something more serious?
Persistent cough and throat infection can be frustrating. Considering you've already taken Azithromycin, Montair LC, and Omnacortil, it's possible that: - The infection might be viral, requiring antiviral medication or supportive care. - The antibiotic course might not have been completed or effective. - Underlying allergies or asthma might be exacerbating symptoms. Consult your doctor to reassess your condition and adjust treatment accordingly.

So, my friend's nail accidentally scratched me and now there's some blood. Should I be worried about an infection from this scratch?
If the scratch breaks the skin and draws blood, there is a risk of infection. It is important to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water. You can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection. Keep the area covered with a bandage until it heals. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or drainage of pus, you should seek medical attention.
