I've recently done a dengue test and the results showed NS1 weakly positive, but IgM and IgG are both negative. I'm a bit confused about what this means and what kind of treatment I should be looking at. Could you help me understand this better?

Concerns about a child's fever are natural.
Current situation:
- Age: 1.5 years
- Fever: 101.4F (38.6C)
- Medication: Crocin (6ml) since yesterday night
Next steps:
- Consult a pediatrician: Reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance.
- Monitor temperature: Continue tracking your child's temperature.
- Watch for other symptoms: Look for signs of distress, such as difficulty breathing, vomiting, or diarrhea.
- Keep your child hydrated: Offer plenty of fluids, like breast milk, formula, or electrolyte-rich beverages.
When to seek immediate attention:
- Fever above 104F (40C)
- Difficulty breathing
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Refusal to drink fluids
- Seizures or convulsions
Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice.

View allI had a massage yesterday that involved body-to-body contact, but no kissing or penetration. I did insert my finger in her vagina a couple of times, but my fingers had no wounds. She gave me a handjob afterwards. Now I'm super anxious about whether my penis might have accidentally touched her vagina, even though I didn't notice any fluids. To ease my worries, I got her tested today for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis using the HIV RNA PCR, p24 AgAb CMA method, and everything came back negative. She also said she's never had penetrative sex. Can I be sure I'm safe? I'm really stressing out and I don't think I'll go to a massage parlor again. Would appreciate any advice.
Based on the tests conducted, which returned negative results for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis, and considering the massage therapist's confession of being clean and not having penetrative sex, the risk of transmission appears low; however, to completely alleviate concerns, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and possibly undergoing additional testing after the recommended window period for maximum reassurance.

I had sex for the first time with a guy on Saturday night, and by Sunday afternoon, I had a fever that lasted about a day. Im worried because I know a fever can be a symptom of HIV, but isnt that too soon for symptoms to show up? It was less than 18 hours after we had sex. We did use a condom, although we had about 5 seconds of skin-to-skin contact without it. Could this mean I dont have HIV, or should I be concerned?
Given your situation, medication can be explored as an alternative to ureteroscopy, but it's essential to consult your urologist for personalized guidance. *Medication Options* 1. *Alpha-blockers*: Medications like Tamsulosin (Flomax) can help relax the muscles in the ureter, allowing the stone to pass more easily. 2. *Pain management*: Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to manage discomfort and pain associated with the stone. 3. *Muscle relaxants*: Medications like Diazepam (Valium) can help relax the muscles in the ureter and reduce spasms. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Regular ultrasound*: Schedule regular ultrasound check-ups to monitor the stone's movement and kidney function. 2. *Blood tests*: Regular blood tests can help monitor kidney function and detect any potential complications. 3. *Symptom monitoring*: Keep track of your symptoms, including pain, nausea, and vomiting, and report any changes to your doctor. *When to Consider Ureteroscopy* 1. *Severe pain*: If your pain becomes unbearable or persists despite medication. 2. *Infection*: If you develop signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or burning during urination. 3. *Kidney damage*: If your kidney function deteriorates or you experience severe hydronephrosis.
