Question 1

I'm a bit worried because my T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is really high at 98 and my AntiTPO is 1440. I'm planning to see a doctor soon, but I'm curious to know if there's a way to reverse this autoimmune issue without having to take thyroxine if that's what the doctor suggests. Is there a different approach I might consider?

Accepted Answer

That is not possible ideally but can control the disease progress ,follow your doctors advice

Question 2

I just checked my sugar levels two hours after eating, and its at 220. I'm really worried about this. Could you suggest what medication I should take for this? Also, what are some effective ways to keep my sugar levels in check?

Accepted Answer

Since the monkey's teeth touched your skin without blood, the risk of rabies transmission is low but not zero.

_Recommendation_

1. _Monitor for symptoms_: Watch for signs of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbnesstingling around the wound.
2. _Consult a doctor_: Visit a doctor or a hospital immediately to assess the risk and determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is necessary.
3. _PEP might be recommended_: Depending on the doctor's assessment, you might receive rabies immunoglobulin and a series of rabies vaccinations as a precautionary measure.

_TT injection_: Since you've already taken the TT (tetanus toxoid) injection, you're protected against tetanus.
