Question 4

Can parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?

Accepted Answer

Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.

Question 6

I'm worried about my total bilirubin level, which is 1.56. Does that mean I have jaundice, or could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

A total bilirubin level of 1.56 mgdL is slightly elevated, but it is important to consider the normal range and context in interpreting this result. The typical normal range for total bilirubin in adults is around 0.1 to 1.2 mgdL, To get a clearer picture of your liver function, it is helpful to check other liver enzymes such as AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and GGT. If these are elevated along with bilirubin, it may indicate liver dysfunction.
