f27 I just hit my head and clear fluid started pouring from my left nostril. it stopped after a few seconds. Am I okay?
I was playing with my dog and our skulls collided. I was already on the floor and I laid my head down. When I sat up, this snot or something poured like water out of my left nostril. I haven't been... | 1 | **Physician**: Neurosurgeon here.
Sounds like CSF rhinorrhea, can happen when the skull is fractured AND the dura is torn causing CSF to leak out the nose or ears. We need a CT scan to confirm the fracture and there are methods (not 100% accurate though) to check if the fluid is actually CSF. What we do in these cases... |
Can I use the Flonase for a runny nose or congestion? I woke up this morning with a runny nose and green mucus
A month ago I had rushed to the urgent care for an ear infection that was traveling to my cheek. They said it was just allergies even though I, a 29 year old man, have never had allergies and actually crying ... | 5 | **Physician | Top Contributor**: Yes, you can use Flonase for this. |
I keep blacking out in the shower?
24M In the past I’d say 6 weeks I’ve passed out 6 times in the shower, all of them soon after waking up once in the afternoon the rest were early morning. I can feel it coming for about 5 seconds so I have time to sit down so I don’t just fall over and I’m only out for a couple of se... | 4 | **Public Health Epidemiology**: NAD. Sounds like vasovagal syncope. I would definitely see a doctor about it if you haven’t already. What is the MRI for? |
How low can I allow my BP to be post surgery before going back to the hospital for intervention? Was my hospital in the wrong for sending me home with low BP?

What happens if you keep losing weight without trying?
I’m constantly loosing weight for the last three months combined with high blood pressure and stomach problems, stooling and nausea.
Please I’m worried about the weight loss, what will happen if I keep loosing weight like this?? I’m so skinny now I can’t believe... | 3 | **Registered Nurse**: Unintended weight loss is a reason to see your doctor sooner rather than later. Many problems can cause this and some of them are very serious. Go get checked out as soon as you can. |
Dropped a metal folding chair on my toe. Do I need to go to the ER or can I wait until tomorrow and go to Urgent Care?
48F. Levothyroxine, lamotrigine, sertraline, vitamin d3, telmisartan. It’s Christmas Day here, so, the only medical facility that’s open is the ER. I dropped a metal folding chair on my big toe a litt... | 5 | **Physician | Top Contributor**: No need for ER based on what you're saying. Sounds like you may have a hematoma (collection of blood) under the nail, but it's not an emergency. Stay home, ice it and take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen. |
Am i pregnant

Me (18F) and my bf (18M) have had protected sex twice since my last period, both times with him clearly pulling out well before hand. A few days ago I began noticing brown discharge even though it is well away from my period. Today this was joined with a little blood.

I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend last Sunday, even though it is quite a dumb decision it usually isn't harmful due to the fact I have never came from anyone else other than myself, I think it might be from masturbating a lot in my teenage years.

what should i tell my doctor
Im a 19 yo male ,i dont drink or smoke, had anal sex once 2 weeks ago and i think i got an infection (there is slight pain and some white liquid coming from my bum and the paun is kinda getting worse) but i cant tell this to my doctor since unfortunately i live in a homophobic country . | 4.5 | **Physician**: Can you buy antibiotics over the counter at a pharmacy where you live? Might be we could tell you what to get. Same infections in heterosexual/ homosexual transmission generally.
Also, I bet you wouldn’t be the first homosexual patient your doctor has quietly treated- most would prefer you were healthy r... |
Attempted weight loss is making me feel like there’s something seriously wrong with me. Is my life in danger?
Female, 5’4”, 195 lbs. Only on Viibryd and trazodone.

I just got a positive test for Influenza A, negative for covid and mycoplasma.
My question is, should I go to the hospital to receive treatment? I und... | 5 | **Physician**: No you don't need hospital treatment and you don't need to isolate (but be careful around others like you'd normally do with the flu). Look up supportive treatment for flu and stick to that (OTC).
**Physician - Pediatrics**: No. If you have mild symptoms, you should not go to the hospital or anywhere e... |

Feeling faint when I go in a lab (I’m a 22F biomed student)
I’ve been having this problem since I started studying biomed last semester.
I’ve had a few laboratory sessions, and I had 2 fainting spells in 2 different labs, and felt a bit sick another time in a lab too. I don’t understand what triggers this blood pres... | 5 | **General Practitioner**: This is vasovagal syncope which is quite common. It is known by other names also, reflex syncope, neurocardiogenic syncope, or just fainting. Probably check you have nothing else contributing first, e.g. iron deficiency, anaemia, etc, then otherwise you could try things such as leaving the roo... |
Pain on face! Need help!
22 female, 9 1/2 weeks pregnant, no medications, no current health issues.
Around two days ago I woke up with a feeling of being punched in the face on my left side. Among further inspection I found that it’s extremely tender around my zygomatic bone (i looked up that term to really specify l... | 4 | **Physician**: Would get checked out to make sure there's no infection, especially since you are pregnant. Bell's palsy is typically painless and solely paralysis of the face, so that would be lower on the list. You can have shingles but that should present with a rash which it seems like you also don't have.

(M31) I am incredibly frustrated with my high blood pressure. I feel like I am doing everything I should and nothing works.
Hello,

After that I began to... | 4 | **Physician - Pulmonary and Critical Care - Moderator**: Unfortunately it's a common problem. You're doing the right things with the positive lifestyle changes, but there are many people that still need medications to lower their blood pressure. It's good that you're addressing it early in life, as elevated blood pre... |
Inverted Nipples
25F 175 lbs, Is it normal for nipples to invert when you raise your arm? Both sides do it but one more than the other. I swear they’ve never done this before. My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and both grandmothers had it also (I don’t know if it goes back any further) | 3 | **Physician**: You basically sum up every risk factor there is. Talk to your gynecologist ASAP, not only for urgent consultation but also genetic testing regarding genomic analysis for BRCA 1/2.
Good luck! |
Why does it pain in my testicles?
The full context is. I'm a male 19 running 20. From few months, i don't know how many, but a few months, may be a year too. It's been paining in my testicles. In the beginning It feels like an urge for poo, but it's not, when i examine my lower body i always find that my right testi... | 4 | **Registered Nurse**: You need to have a physical examination by a doctor
**Physician - Pediatrics**: Just go to your PCP. This is literally what they're there for.
If this is testicular cancer, and you catch it early, it can treated pretty well. If you ignore testicular cancer, it will kill you. |

For 3 years now I’ve (F18) had issues with passing stools. It started around the time I reached the height of my eating disorder. My bowel movements have been noticeably slow, it takes me 2 weeks before I pass a stool and the few days leading up to it I’m in intense pain. Over th... | 1 | **Registered Nurse**: You need to go to a hospital. You could have a bowel obstruction or other major problem with your GI tract. This could be life threatening. You can't deal with this on your own. |

My cat had scratched me while giving him a bath. Now there’s a tiny blister, it’s not serious enough to be Cat Scratch Fever, is it?
I (19F) had recently given my cat a bath 20 hours after he had slipped out, where we ended up finding him in a hole, locates in a corn field. He smelled like a mix of musk and chemical... | 5 | **Physician**: If he was in the bath at the time, it is reasonable to assume that his paws were probably cleaner than they've been for some time. I'd wait and see what, if anything, happens. Clean the site with soap and water and just keep clean. Mupirocin is fine.

Womanly Issues
Hello, I am a 30 year old female that recently got an IUD. At this appointment I also got a pap smear done. I got a phone call a few days ago saying I have atypical cells.
Since getting the IUD I have had a period for the last 15 days as well. So of course I went to doctor google. When I searched atyp... | 3 | **Physician**: Bleeding is common with IUDs.
Atypical cells are not as uncommon as one would think and are very likely due to some small infection, that could be cleared in a month or so. Stop reading the internet. There are no real answers here, only ideas that will get your mind going to bad places. The chances are ... |

Strep throat on Christmas Day
I am a 36 year old male. About 165 pounds if it’s relevant.
I have been sick since last Tuesday. Chills, highish fever (102.5), runny nose, sore throat. It felt like the flu. I keep thinking it will get better but it’s not.
My fever seems to have “broke” unless I cover up a lot. Th... | 2 | **Physician | Moderator | Top Contributor**: Doxycycline isn't the best treatment for strep. Each category of antibiotics work differently. They are not all the same. You also don't want to take antibiotics if this isn't 100% strep. If you take antibiotics when there is no need for them, it will increase the chances of... |
Brain tumors

Last night especially I was laying in my bed and could feel multiple episodes of surges and light headedness. Not complete episodes ... | 4 | **Physician - Internal Medicine**: You don't need to have a CT scan, or to go to the forest to off yourself as I think your post is suggesting. There are lots of causes of lightheadedness not due to terminal brain cancers.
All you need is a primary care visit to get evaluated. I'd suggest starting there. |

18M 5’6 117 pounds

The first 4 days, ive been peeing out sand that covered half the toliet bowl. Its been 9... | 4 | **Registered Nurse**: No. This is not normal. There is no way for you to get that amount of beach sand in your urethra unintentionally. You need to see a doctor. It sounds like you have some kind of infection. The 'sand' is likely some kind of vaginal/urethral discharge. |
Why am i only getting migraines only on my days off of work? Can skipping coffee really cause this??

They'd usually be only in one spot, sometimes they'd ... | 5.5 | **Registered Nurse**: Yep! There is such a thing as caffeine withdrawal. Interestingly enough, caffeine is also used to treat migraines as well.

27F, NOT pregnant
It is 1am and I’m trying to decide if I should go to the ER nots or visit my GP in the morning. For over 24 hours now i’ve experienced abdominal pain that has slowly transformed into probably the worst pain i’ve ever experienced.

After a budding rlationship fell apart in very upsetting circumstances, I start... | 6 | **Physician**: This can be normal. It’s fight or flight, the body doesn’t want you stopping for pizza when you should be running from a bear. Provided no other symptoms such as change in bowel habit and you feel generally well otherwise |

how long to monitor potential nut allergy?
hello! I (25F female) was referred to an allergist by my doctor after nausea and slight rash after I ate an exorbitant amount of nuts, and told to stop eating nuts until I got the testing done. Today I took a bite of chicken salad which did not say it had nuts in it, but in f... | 6 | **Physician | Moderator | Top Contributor**: You ate an "exorbitant" amount of nuts before your allergy was confirmed. You are not at risk for delayed anaphylaxis. You have a minor nut alergy; it's fine.
You can continue on your trip without fear. |

Bruise after blood draw
I (22F, 5’10”, 230lb) got a blood draw on July 13th. I literally just now got a bruise at the exact spot the draw was, and today’s the 15th. It doesn’t look like a regular bruise either, like I could easily mistake this for a hickey. The woman that was doing my blood draw had to redirect a fe... | 6 | **Physician - Pulmonary and Critical Care**: Pretty normal to have some bruising after a blood draw.
**Medical Laboratory Tech**: This is completely normal with a difficult draw. It will go away. |

Middle and index finger were crushed in a pressing machine, but they didn’t bleed, bruise, or swell. I couldn’t move them for like 30 minutes, and after a couple hours, I could freely move them. I could even bend them. My middle finger f... | 1 | **Patient Care Assistant**: You need to get a full evaluation. Assuming you're in the US, it's free because it happened at work. Go to the ER; urgent cares don't have CTs or MRIs. I'm not sure if you'd need one of those types of scans, but the numbness is concerning. |
30F mild hsv encephalitis?
Is this possible? Experiencing lots of neurological symptoms after being diagnosed with oral and genital hsv1 at the same time. Most recently blurry vision in one eye. When closing affected eye the other eye is normal vision. Is optic neuritis possible? No pain in affected eye but I do have ... | 6 | **Physician - Pulmonary and Critical Care - Moderator**: Unlikely. HSV encephalitis is a devastating illness. If you had it you’d already be in the hospital, not writing it a post on Reddit. |
Vitamin IV Infusion made me feel like i have dementia
27F, 115 lbs, suspected allergy to NSAIDS, asthma, and sinus issues but no other known medical conditions. My friend surprised us with IV “hangover” bags while on vacation, and after about 5 minutes of it in my arm, i noticed that someone was speaking to me but i h... | 5 | **Physician | Moderator**: Since there is no standard “hangover bag” we have no idea what you got or what you might have reacted to, or whether it was just having a hangover. It doesn’t sound like an allergic reaction.
For what it’s worth, there’s no evidence backing any hangover treatment. No vitamins, IV or oral; re... |
Embarrassing bathroom problem!
21M, 5’8’’, 130 lbs, no medication.
I’ll jump straight into it. There’s sharp pain and bloody stool when I poop. My stomach doesn’t hurt but my anus does hurt when I poop. It’s been a problem for maybe a month now? Maybe even longer. Is this cause for concern or will it pass naturally? | 4 | **Physician - Family Medicine**: Sounds like a hemorrhoid or anal fissure (less likely, could be something more serious, such as inflammatory bowel disease or cancer). I would at least make sure you are not constipated and have soft stools, which you can do by eating a high fiber diet. Foods with fiber include vegeta... |

Just got a pretty deep road rash and cleaned it out, disinfected with alcohol, and applied gauze with neosporin. Do I need to disinfect again with alcohol before applying neosporin and gauze again?

Unless it's infected as determined by a doctor, antibiotic pills are not of use.
**Registered Nurse**: Don’t clean with alcohol, it hurts like heck and actually inhibits wound healing. Also, gauze isn’t great, it sticks and... |

BPM and Corona
22M. So i tested positive covid today and notice my BPM went up from 60-70 to 90-100 in rest. Is this something relatable to Corona virus? If so is it something to keep an eye on or is it just temporary with no harm?
Only medication i used is some paracetamol.
Thanks in advance | 6 | **Physician | Moderator | Top Contributor**: Yes, when you are sick, your RHR usually increases. This is temporary and normal.
**Physician - Anesthesiology**: Fever, illness, etc can all cause this. On its own not too worrying |
I'm not pregnant, but milk is coming from my breast
I’m 18, female. 112 pounds, 5.4 feet. Smoke. The only medicine I took were emergency contraceptives pills (took them frequently, in 2 months like 14 times)
My boyfriend very often massages my breasts, sucks them, etc. Recently, during the same activities, milk bega... | 4 | **Physician - Anesthesiology**: Quite likely normal.

When it happens outside of those circumstances it's still wise to see your doctor. Certain cond... |
Severe and random itching caused by Codeine?
Hello. I am a 22 year old female. Approximately 5’7” and 140lb.
I was prescribed Co-codamol (30mg codeine/500mg paracetamol) in the summer of 2021 to manage pain.
I never overuse it and only take it on my worst pain days. Co-codamol used to give me nausea so I was pres... | 6 | **Physician - Dermatologist | Top Contributor**: Itch is a normal and expected side effect of codeine.
**Physician**: Codeine can cause histamine release and itching. Seems likely that your dose increase might be responsible. |
HIV risk possibility
Hey, I’m 19M cis and gave my 22M cis partner an unprotected blowjob. He claims he is negative but he tested a long time ago and hasn’t shown me a proof of test, so I can’t be too sure. We spit all over his dick, and I know saliva kills HIV. However, I have Barrett’s esophagus so I was wondering if... | 6 | **Physician**: HIV doesn’t tend to be transmitted through saliva, despite having Barrett’s. Your risk for this scenario seems low.
That being said, it’s always good to keep up to date with STD testing, including HIV, even for yourself, especially as you partake in sexual activity. |

If all it is is cold after cold, you’re just experiencing what about 25% of the population are this year. It will pass once you’ve been exposed to most of the things... |
Do ALL UTI’s require medical attention/antibiotics?
Backstory: I (23F/114lbs/sexually active), have had my fair share of UTI’s in the past (they used to be pretty chronic for me) - all of which were treated with antibiotics. There was even a specific UTI which landed me in the ER back in May of 2019: I had been on 2 d... | 4 | **Physician Assistant**: Very minor UTIs can sometimes clear up on their own in a day or two with good hydration, but I recommend you see a doctor. If you're having any hint of blood in your urine or pelvic pain/nausea this is most likely too serious to go away on its own. It could spread to your kidneys and become muc... |

Fainted after constipation and think it will happen again (19F)
So I fainted a few minutes after it really really hurt pass stool, so bad that I was bent over in pain and I pushed pretty hard to make it happen faster which the net tells me caused the fainting. Fainting symptoms came in over the space of about 5-10 m... | 4.5 | **Physician**: You had a vasovagal response. Basically you pushing so hard cause the nerves in your body to tell your brain to shut off for a bit. It is not necessarily uncommon. It’s not dangerous (the passing out can be, hitting your head etc) but it’s not a pathological thing that you passed out.

Chickenpox has a distinct appearance and is not just on head & hands. Most people your age had varicella vaccine, so they don't get Chickenpox. If you had the usual childhood vaccines, you should not be vulnerable to varicella-zoster virus. It's probabl... |

My finger has been sore for about a week. I thought it was a fire ant bite and it was only slightly reddened. Over the last two days, it has become quite painful to any pressure, raised, and there is now pus under the skin. | 2 | **Physician**: Yup. There’s a small abscess there. It should be drained by a medical professional and treated with antibiotics.
**Paramedic**: Yes that merits a visit to a Urgent Care, or your Primary Care Physician if they can see you in the next 24-48 hours. |

No other medical conditions.
I always knew my heart rate goes up easily. But recently I started measuring my heart rate when I am on the treadmill. Immediately after a sprint it was about 195bpm according to the device itself... | 6 | **Physician - Infectious Disease**: No you’ll be fine, especially if it goes back to normal on rest. When a heart rate gets anywhere near that fast it’s very difficult to measure manually with any accuracy. |

24f. I had spinal fusion surgery on the 23rd. Have been taking miralax since the day before. I got an enema done today and only had very little relief. It was still something, though.
