Question 1

i am getting married july, 2018 in riviera maya, mexico. my fianc and i are wanting to begin trying to conceive immediately after we return. is it advised not to because of zika? thanks

Accepted Answer

Sounds risky: A mosquito can bite a recently infected person (during the first week or two of his or her infection) and then bite a non-infected person and thus give the virus to the second person. A contagious person can transmit the virus through some sexual activities. If a couple truly want to vacation in Zika areas, they can talk with their Ob-Gyn doctor to ask for advice on preventing a Zika-baby.

If it looks infected: You may just want to use some warm moist towels in the area where it was stuck and give her some Motrin and if you have some antiseptic cream like Neosporin clean the area with just warm water dry it then use the cream for night and let it be exposed to air and in the morning if the area looks swollen and red yes take her to doctor for an antibiotic

i've read the johnson & johnson covid vaccine works/was designed a bit differently than the other two that are available. how is it different? is it more like the vaccines we're used to (flu, etc.) in terms of how it is made?

Accepted Answer

: The difference in not particularly relevant. J&amp;J vaccine has the Covid nucleic acid incorporated into a harmless adenovirus that helps in immune response. Moderna and Pfizer have a segment of the viral RNA that codes for the spike protein that is essential for the virus to gain entry into human cells.
Get the vaccine, any vaccine. all will protect against serious illness due to Covid.

Question 10

i think i may have appendicitice?

Accepted Answer

RLQ pain: You need to be seen by your primary care professional (Pediatrician, Family Practice, Internist) ASAP or go to the ER.  These things are common but can be serious.  Appendix do burst..and then the toxins from within (stool, infection) are released  inside of our belly cavity.  This is a very bad thing.  Not to freak you out, but I don't want anything bad to happen to you.  Do it today ok?!
