View allI've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?
Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.

My mom had HTO knee surgery on her left leg two weeks ago but keeps getting frequent fever, swelling, and pain. The doctors diagnosed her with DVT and are treating her with Enoxaparine sodium injections. There's slight improvement, but I'm not sure if this is the best treatment or if we should see another specialist. How long does it usually take to recover from DVT
DVT recovery takes weeks to months; continue enoxaparin and follow up with a vascular specialist.

I'm looking over my blood report, and it says predominantly normocytic normochromic with microcytes and ovalocytes, and my hemoglobin level is 9.5. Should I be worried about these findings, and what do they actually mean for my health?
The effect of a tetanus vaccine typically lasts for 10 years, after which a booster shot is recommended to maintain immunity . This is regardless of the vaccine's price, which in your case is Rs10. It's great that you're taking proactive steps to ensure your tetanus vaccination is up to date. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and medical professionals worldwide agree on the 10-year timeline for booster shots. *Tetanus Vaccine Timeline:* - *Initial Vaccination:* A series of three shots, with the first two given at least four weeks apart, and the third shot given 6 to 12 months after the second . - *Booster Shots:* Every 10 years to maintain immunity [2).
