Febur 99 to 100
For the past two months, I have been running a fever ranging from 99°F to 100°F. I have undergone various tests—such as CBC, urine culture, routine urine analysis, CT scan, and tests for malaria and typhoid—and all the results came back normal. I have been tracking my temperature daily, and it consistently stays between 99°F and 100°F. What should I do next?
Hiv related queries
I had a beard trim at a barber shop today. About one minute before me, the barber had trimmed the beard of another man who was over 40 years old. I had an open wound under my beard, and the barber’s scissors touched that wound while trimming my beard. I’m not sure whether there was any blood on the scissors from the previous customer. If that man was HIV-positive and there had been fresh blood on the scissors, could I get HIV from this?😢
Intermittent pain on the right side
I have been experiencing occasional pain on the right side, below the ribs, for about 3 months. The pain stopped completely for some time but started occurring occasionally again. I had an ultrasound, which showed mild hepatomegaly (mildly enlarged liver). I took two bottles of Adlive, after which the pain improved, but it later returned occasionally. The pain is now less than before. Please advise what could be the possible cause and whether I need any medicine.
