I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?

These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following:
Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.

View allI'm really worried because I did an HIV test and it came back negative, but I smoked marijuana two days before the test. Now, I'm seeing some variations in my complete blood count test results, and it's making me doubt the accuracy of the HIV test. Could the marijuana have affected the outcome of the HIV test in any way? Can you please help me understand what's going on?
ESR Levels* 1. *Initial high ESR (120)*: This indicates inflammation, which can be caused by various conditions, including infections, arthritis, or cancer. 2. *Reduced ESR (20)*: This suggests that the inflammation has decreased, which is a positive response to treatment. *Possible Causes* 1. *Arthritis*: The initial high ESR and back pain could be indicative of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. 2. *Infections*: Infections like tuberculosis or osteomyelitis can cause high ESR and back pain. 3. *Cancer*: Although less likely, cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma) can cause high ESR. However, a single ESR test is not conclusive for cancer diagnosis. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult her doctor*: Discuss the reduced ESR and any changes in symptoms with her doctor. 2. *Further testing*: Her doctor may recommend additional tests (e.g., blood tests, imaging studies) to determine the underlying cause of the initial high ESR and back pain.

I got my Widal test results back and I'm kinda worried about them. The report says: Salmonella typhi O Antigen 180, Salmonella typhi H Antigen 180, Salmonella paratyphi AH Antigen 120, and Salmonella paratyphi Bh Antigen 120. Can you tell me if this means I have typhoid?
Based on your Widal test results, the elevated titers of Salmonella typhi O and H antigens suggest a possible typhoid fever infection. I recommend starting a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, ensure adequate hydration and rest for a speedy recovery. Consult with your physician before starting any medication.

I've been having these weird episodes where I suddenly start shivering, and my body temperature drops. But then, not long after, the shivering stops, and my temperature goes up really high. It's confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this, and how concerned should I be?
history not enough to make a diagnosis consult your doctor
