A friend jabbed me on my butt with a sterile saline solution injection. Should I be any worried? She works in the medical field & messed about with me In brief: Irresponsible friend

assuming a sterile needle and syringe, as well as sterile saline solution were used, you should have very little to worry about.

Make sure that tetanus status is up-to-date. Also, if the needle or syringe were not clean, or had been used before, then you could have been exposed to a number of serious diseases. See your family doctor for further evaluation, and stay away from this "friend". ...See more

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

It is usually due to an infectious agent, like a bacteria, virus or fungus. It can also rarely be caused by drugs. Symptoms often include fever, headache, stiff neck and sleepiness or lethargy. An evaluation of the cause is needed to guide treatment, which may involve antibiotics as well as supportive care. ...See more

I am 22, born healthy and plump but i am really underweight now, my BMI is 14.17, i am vegetarian, kindly suggest me the steps i should take to gain? In brief: Need more info

Before deciding if you need to gain weight, it would be useful to know your current weight and height.

It would also help to know if you are a strict vegan, or a lack/ovo vegetarian.When attempting to gain weight,you want to build lean body mass, which requires protein. You may benefit from speaking with a nutritionist. Your local hospital may have a person that can help you with this issue. ...See more

I got off nexuim for 3 days to see how I do i burning now I will get back on it.i just took one but can't wait 24 hours can I take a Zantac now ? In brief: Okay together

There are no known interactions between Nexium (esomeprazole) and Zantac.

In fact, when symptoms are not fully resolved with Nexium (esomeprazole) alone, patient's are often instructed to take Nexium (esomeprazole) in the morning and Zantac later in the day. I see no reason why you can't take Zantac temporarily, until the Nexium (esomeprazole) kicks back in . If the burning persists despite both medications, see your family doctor. ...See more

Am I pregnant? made love trying for baby on Oct.14th started period next day on the 15th, ended 19th. The next week my body felt weird. Today spotted! In brief: Pnancy and periods

If the bleeding that started on the 15th represented the normal time for your period to begin, than it would not be possible to have gotten pregnant while making love on the 14th.

If, however, this bleeding was either earlier or later than you expected, than it is possible that you became pregnant during an earlier cycle. You may benefit from discussing this matter further with your gynecologist. ...See more

I have been eating more firbre appox 28g a day from 10g. my stools are coming out like thick sludge and I'm finished in a minute shall I call a dr ? In brief: May be due fiber

If you increased your fiber intake rapidly, this may be the cause of the change in her bowels.

You might consider decreasing the amount of fiber and then increasing it more slowly to see if this helps matters. If not, then a visit to your family doctor would be advised. If there is any evidence of blood in the stool, or black tarry stool, then I would see her doctor immediately. ...See more
