See below: Covid-19:  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Contact your doctor/local hospital, by phone for evaluation and testing in your area.
Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately.
Get Covid vaccine.
Wish you good health.

Question 2

what are these pill codes use for gilead 4331 and sv 572?

Accepted Answer

Always ask, "Why?": Always ask, "Why do you ask?" Sometimes the person has a reason to know the information (such as a patient forgetting which of her own pills are which, or a doctor trying to figure out what a patient took). Other times, a person is snooping into another person's pills, trying to figure out what the other person is taking (unethical, and should be illegal). These pills might be Viread (tenofovir) and Tivicay.

Question 3

i am 22 years old girland i want to increase my chest size.please tell me solution except of surgery?

Accepted Answer

Not much: Other than gaining weight in general -- weight gain leads to increased size of all fatty tissue, including fat around breasts-- surgical breast augmentation is the only way to increasing breast size. Doing exercises like to increase the size of your pectoralis muscles might help the appearance a little as well, but if you are looking to increase breast size, surgery is really the main option.

Question 4

can someone eat too much chicken hearts, livers, or gizzards?

Accepted Answer

Yes.yes.yes.: Eating too much of anything can cause long term problems, although I do not see any acute problems in the short term.  Of course, this is all a matter of degree....Everything in moderation.

Question 5

hutch cancer research president dr gary gilliand says we will have a cure for most, if not all cancers? i find this highly implausible, but i am not a scientist. what do you think?

Accepted Answer

: I can only speculate on the answer.  Obviously, we have been researching cancer for a long time.  Yet, we've made only humble progress with many types of cancer.  (By the way, we need to realize that "cancer" is a generic name that describes many very different types.)  I do remain optimistic that, in time we will continue to progress and hopefully find cures; exactly how long, is difficult to say

Question 6

can a doctor give a person meds call gilead 4331 and sv 572 without telling them they have hiv virus?

Accepted Answer

Almost certainly not: Those are not drug names, but appear to be the codes stamped on pills or capsules to identify them. On google search, I see that gilead 4331 is tenofovir and sv 572 is dolutegravir. Both are used to treat HIV. Assuming the patient is mentally competent, it is extremely unlikely any doctor would prescribe them without telling the patient the reason for treatment, i.e. HIV.

Question 7

my girlfrd had a head surgery to remove a blood clot 2 months ago, all was well until 2 days ago when she had blurred vision. will everything be fine?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Your girlfriend should see the surgeon for an emergency visit to sort out why all of a sudden the vision changed.  There may have been bleeding in the eye, retinal detachment, etc.  Only a proper evaluation can sort this out propperly.

Question 8

i was diagnosed w/ scolisosis.today used lotion that has bee venom, potentilla, comfrey, camphor, eucalyp good?

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis: There is no ointment, tincture, balm, herb, lotion or unguent which will affect the underlying scoliosis. There are no standard symptoms for this either.  If it makes you feel good then use it.

Question 9

Question 10

wehani rice and/or pumpkin seed oil as allergen?

Accepted Answer

Rice: Though uncommon, pumpkin and its derivatives can cause an allergy as can various types of rice. There is no reason to expect that the more aromatic wehani rice would be an exception. Rice allergy as a whole is rare.
