Urgently need a medical certificate.

I had a prolonged period last year of illness which resulted from an unknown viral fever, dengue, and also lead to further complications. It lasted 6-8 months and continued into this year as well. I need a medical certificate for this to claim academic compensation. I will provide proofs of my illness and the format of the letter. Preferably from a doctor in Pune, but I'll manage if it's not possible. I need it by today itself. Thank you.

I am 15 years old. I used to hold stool

I am 15 years old. I used to hold stool frequently for years and since 2023 I have had severe bowel problems like incomplete emptying, watery leakage, bad smell, weak urge sensation, and difficulty passing stool normally. I have tried home remedies like drinking more water, walking after meals, toilet routine but I still have significant symptoms. I want to know what treatment or tests may help further and whether this could be megarectum, encopresis, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

​Unstable routine, loneliness, and self-

Hello Doctor, I am a rehabilitation center counselor and have been living alone since 2004 (for the last 22 years). When I am working at rehab centers in Delhi or Patiala for 2-4 months, my routine stays perfectly fine. However, when I return to my hometown for 2-3 months, I experience extreme loneliness. Since I cannot cook, my eating schedule gets completely disrupted, which further ruins my sleep cycle. To cope with this and get some relief, I have started taking various tablets on my own. I want to consult and confirm if this approach is safe, and how I can properly manage this situation. Please guide me
