I've been wondering about something since I got bitten by a dog last week. It's a street dog, but it's been taken care of by a family. I'm not sure if it's been vaccinated, so I've started my Rabipur vaccinations and have had three doses so far. With all of this happening, can I eat non-veg food right now? If it's not safe, how long should I wait before I can have it again? Also, if I can have non-veg, are there any specific diet restrictions I should follow for now? Just trying to figure things out.

Variable Stool Texture and Timing

Possible Causes

  1. Gastrointestinal motility: Variations in gut motility can cause changes in stool texture and timing.
  2. Dietary factors: Consuming different types of food or drinks throughout the day can influence stool texture and frequency.
  3. Hormonal fluctuations: Hormonal changes throughout the day can affect bowel movements.
  4. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause variable stool texture and timing.

Common Patterns

  1. Morning stool: Often more solid due to overnight gut motility and hormonal changes.
  2. Afternoon and evening stool: May be flatter or more liquid due to increased gut motility and hormonal changes throughout the day.

Recommendations

  1. Keep a food and symptom diary: Track your diet, stool texture, and any symptoms to identify potential patterns or triggers.
  2. Consult a gastroenterologist: Discuss your symptoms with a specialist to rule out underlying medical conditions.
  3. Maintain a balanced diet: Eat a fiber-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support healthy gut motility and bowel habits.

I work in a medical lab and was doing some rapid blood tests when a drop of HIV positive serum accidentally got into my eye. I didn't think to wash it out until about an hour later when my eye started getting irritated. How likely is it that I could contract HIV this way, through my eye?

no

I recently got tested at Lal Path Labs and found out that both Chlamydia and Herpes came back reactive. I'm unmarried and now I'm confused about whether I should get married or not. Can these diseases be cured? What could happen if these are passed on to a female partner? I'm taking homeopathic medicines right now. I'm really worried about this whole situation.

Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation. Firstly, *delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either*. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months . Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, *you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action*. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again. In the meantime, *make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations*. This will help protect him from other serious diseases. Lastly, *don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance*. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.
