Question 1

Can I get a medical certificate through an online consultation? I need it to apply for an interstate travel pass. Is this possible?

Accepted Answer

Chest Pain After Eating

_Possible Causes_:

1. _Acid Reflux (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing up into the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating spicy foods.
2. _Gastroesophageal Junction Disorder_: Abnormal relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter can lead to acid reflux and chest pain.
3. _Esophageal Spasm_: Muscle contractions in the esophagus can cause chest pain, especially after eating.

_Relief Measures_:

1. _Sleeping Position_: Lying down can help alleviate symptoms, as you've noticed.
2. _Avoid Trigger Foods_: Reduce or avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that can trigger acid reflux.
3. _Antacids or Acid Reducers_: Over-the-counter medications like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac can help neutralize stomach acid.

Question 2

I'm a bit concerned about my temperature readings. They're usually between 98.6 and 99.2, but most often fall between 98.5 and 98.8. I'm not feeling feverish or anything, but should I be worried? Is this considered a fever?

Accepted Answer

A normal oral body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F, so your temperature readings (98.5-99.2F) are within the normal range, and it's unlikely to be a fever, especially if you're not experiencing any feverish symptoms

Question 3

A stray cat scratched my hand, and I got a bit of bleeding from it. I cleaned it with Savlon and put on some antiseptic cream. I know that rabies can be spread through an animal's saliva, but is there any risk of getting rabies from this scratch? Do you think I should see a doctor about it?

Accepted Answer

My doctor prescribed Azforin 500MG for me, but it's out of stock at my pharmacy. Can you suggest any alternatives? I'm a bit worried about missing doses.
