Hi I’m an 18 year old female and I’ve never had any health problems of any kind before. I’m wondering what’s wrong and if I should go to the doctors. I have been having diarrhea for about two weeks and felt very worn out and not been able to sleep. I also keep feeling like I want to vomit after I eat and slightly dizzy (I haven’t thrown up though). Also I have felt freezing for the past week or so even though my flatmates have said they are roasting. Should I be worried? Thanks
Hello,
I’m a 16 years old girl. I am a healthy, the only thing I have is pollen allergy since I was 6 years old. More than two weeks ago, on my skin spontaneously began to appear purple linear changes like petechiae. It started from the forearms, about 2 cm and than started to spread. Later it came out on upper arms, neck, left lower leg and right thigh. I had these changes on the buccal mucosa. Before changes occur I feel burning sensation and strong pain in veins. I had a mild swelling of the joints of arms and legs. Veins are more pronounced during the pain and changes. All blood tests are good. CRP, PT and PTT test are good. A lot of analysis has been done, but I still do not know what it is. They suspected vasculitis but it is not confirmed.
I hope so that you can help me.
Best regards and thank you.
Hello! I am an 18 year old female with no history of significant health problems and no past piercing infections. I have two cartilage piercings that seem to be infected? I got them pierced in April and recently decided to switch earrings. While this hurt, I managed to get the new earrings in, it discovered that there were red bleeding bumps on the piercing sites. They’re still there, but now they’re not on the exact piercing site, and more so around it. I’m concerned they’re keloids or something. They are still quite sore and the bumps are still a reddish pink color. What should I do?
My mother got scratched by a cat on right hand that resulted in a small bleeding wound (on April 18th 2016).Wound was cleaned with water and soap immediately and dettol applied. The physician I consulted asked me to give her rabipur vaccine. Since rabipur was not available in my locality, I brought it from a wholesaler on april 18th night but forgot to keep the vaccine in fridge. On 19th April (day 0), Rabipur was given to my mother (but the vaccine was not kept in fridge overnight), on 22nd April (day 3), she took XPRAB vero cell rabies vaccine (as rabipur was out of supply), on 26th April (day 7) she completely missed the dose, on 3rd May (day 14) she took rabipur at Govt, Hospital. I consulted the physician again and he told me that since the taken doses are all messed up, he asked me to repeat the doses again for my mother on day 0, day 3 ,day 7 and day 14, since rabipur was available this time, so my mother again took rabipur injections in a local pharmacy on 10th May, 13th May, 17th May and 25th May 2016, last dose ‘day 14’ delayed by 1 day as she had fever .In total ,she took 7 vaccines ,now what happened yesterday she was scratched by our pet cat on finger, there was small blood and it was cleaned immediately, the cat is vaccinated this year in march ’16 and June ’16, though the consulting doctor said there is no need for further vaccines, but i still gave her one booster dose today,does she need to take further booster dose of anti rabies vaccine as I read Post-exposure prophylaxis of persons previously appropriately immunized with rabies vaccine consists of: local wound treatment and two 1.0 mL IM doses of rabies vaccine given on days 0 and 3rd, pls suggest.

I am a 20 year old female. I have the same and first sexual partner for almost 4 years now. We performed oral and he ejaculated in my mouth when I had burning in one tooth gum. Now I have been experiencing constant chills & sometimes night sweats for almost 2 weeks. I have reflux laryngitis that I am currently dealing with as well. But I also took an influenza seasonal vaccine a week before. Could this be HIV or side affect of the flu shot or laryngitis?
I have been suffering from ecoli vaginitis for few months. I first noticed some greenish vaginal discharge after a course of augmentin (around 10days) for theUTI. After that, the doctor did a vaginal swab for me(the report said its high vaginal swab, but the doctor did not use the speculum), the report showed ecoli and candida. Candida was then treated, but ecoli remained after a course of flagyl and levofloxacin. The second report also showed it was resistant to flagyl, levofloxacin and another first line antibiotics eg augmentin and ampicillin. Then I took a course of septrin, the last report showed it is also resistant to septrin but don’t know why it is sensitive to augmentin again, no clue cell with trace gram +ve and -ve rods, 1+ wbc and epithelial cells. The doctor advised me just leave it alone because she predicted ecoli will get resistant again after another course of oral antibiotics. I don’t have much symptoms except some on and off abd pain, vaginal discomfort and discharge. But I am so afraid and reluctant to have sex since I am worried having sex will make it worse and cause PID and also worried about the future pregnancy. I have an assumption that if ecoli infection is caused by the lowered number of lactobacilli, is it possible it will get cured by self if I stopped antibiotics and the normal flora reestablishes my self?
I have scabies i have taking med 4 times and they say its safe to go awround family that they wouldnt get it. Its not true so i dint know What to believe so my question is.first i want to say im healthy and very clean hygen. Will they go away by them selfs.
I had a sore throat along with swollen lymph nodes in the week the end of march/beginning of april that lasted approximately a week. I never went to the doctor partly because of a lack of fever and it seemed tolerable. The end of April and extending into May I experienced some joint pain, never took any medication for it, as it was manageable. It wasn’t swollen, red or tender simply painful. I also experienced heart fluttering for a few seconds one morning the beginning of May. I for a few weeks in may had general achiness upon waking that generally disappeared shortly thereafter. I also had neck stiffness/kink that lasted approximately a week and half. I went to the doctor the beginning of June and had a routine physical exam with complete blood profile, urine profile and an ekg. All results came back normal. The middle of June I began having ringing in my ears. I have experienced some pain in my wrists and elbows primarily on the bones/tendon points through july/august/september. I also started to experience floaters in my vision the middle of september. I went back in to the doctor at the end of september. My physical resulted in a BP or 140/82. They ran a complete blood and urine profile, all results were normal. They also ran a rheumatoid profile – ana was negative, sedimentation rate of near 0, CRP of 2, ASO of 443. I am very concerned about Rheumatic Fever and possible Rheumatic Heart Disease. Should I be?
