my wife (nadia) started feeling typical flu symptoms about 5 days ago, the symptoms have mostly improved except for the difficulty to breathe and fatigue?

Accepted Answer

COVID 19 : You all need to keep isolated. Don't leave your room unless you need medical help. Difficulties breathing is a concerning symptom a doctor should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 2

my mother, nadia, is 50 years old, and she is having big trouble with chronic constipation, and she is having abdominal pain.please suggest the solution?

Accepted Answer

See GI: Chronic constipation should be properly evaluated, especially at 50yo when she would be due for a colonoscopy anyway for routine health maintenance.  Schedule her an appt. With a GI doctor for an evaluation.  Best wishes.

Question 3

what are some reasons to have constant nausia?

Accepted Answer

Constant nausea: Please see a doctor! common causes of nausea would include motion sickness, benign positionsl vertigo, migraine headache, any infectious disease, including gastroenteritis and urinary tract infection, food poisoning, medication side effects, and pregnancy.

Question 4

i have random migraines with nasea. how can i feel better when this happens?

Accepted Answer

Identify triggers: It is best to identify if there is something that is triggering your migraine and avoid it (ie. Coffee, chocolate, other foods, stress).  If that does not relieve the problem, there are medications that are effective to treat migraines.  Your doctor can help you with that.

Question 5

can nair irritate one area but not another even though the same amount is used?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Skin in different areas of the body has different sensitivities.

Question 6

my friend will be taking his medical exam next week and he was nailed (analsex) last week, will it be detected?

Accepted Answer

No: That will not be detected on a routine exam.

Question 7

my wife is having recurring bouts of nausia and gagging. she also has developed a very poor appitite. what are the likely causes?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Nausea and appetite go together.  If she is nauseated, then she will likely have a poor appetite. For the gagging, this is somewhat more difficult.  Does it occur when eating?  Does it happen with both solids and liquids?  Does she regurgitate any food? Is it partially digested or look untouched?  These are best answered in front of your doctor. They can order the appropriate test or referral.

Question 8

i was confirmed to have covid-19, i self-isolated for 14 days. my concern is with my 1 year 6 months son nabi who has been caughing. ?

Accepted Answer

Keep isolated: The baby very likely has the infection.  However, the data are very reassuring on children less than 10 year old.  I am certain there has been no deaths recorded. Treat as you would if the baby had a cold.  Follow the following isolation guidelines:  https://www.healthtap.com/blog/covid-19-care-guidelines/self-quarantine-guide  I think you will find this improving in a few days.

Question 9

my 3yr old is going through a stage of bitin & scrappin.  is this normal? she bites her cousin and scraps her and her nana what shud i do?

Accepted Answer

Discipline: Unfortunately this falls to you to correct. You are the parent and you have to be willing to discipline your child. They will only learn correct behavior when bad behavior is not tolerated.  I am sure some of your girl friends have some ideas on how they succeeded in teaching their children or using discipline to teach. You are the parent.

Question 10

my 2yo son is "humping".  i've only noticed him doing it on the floor or his bed, but was told he did it to his nana recently.  is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Experimentation: The more this is is ignored, the sooner it will stop. Children will often experiment with behavior. Never punish them for it. Distraction may help.
All the best.
