- Q. I was very sick with fever. I could not eat then and I lose weight but now I am OK. Still I can not gain my weight back, why?

- A. Hi Nse..thanks for your query.Increasing calorie intake is foremost for weight gain, which can also be done by eating a large volume of food and opting for energy-dense foods. 3,500 additional calories are required for gaining one pound, which can be achieved within a week by adding 500 calories to daily diet.Healthy calorie-containing beverages are an integral aspect of weight gain regimen. Ideal to be consumed between meals, health drinks increase your caloric intake. If you have an issue with consumption of solid foods, calorie-rich drinks also fit in the criteria of an equally healthy substitute.

- Q. I am a 45 year old man with slight fever and cough for the last one week. I don't have any body pain though my soles and palms feel warm. The symptoms mostly show up in the evening. The cough is persistent and mostly dry. I don't have any trouble sleeping. What other medicines can I take apart from antibiotics?
- Rubab

  I would recommend you to see your doctor soon. Temperature that rises in evening is said to be a symptom of various infections including tuberculosis. Don't worry without getting screened. It is essential that you consult a general practioner.

  You could try keeping warm, using a hot compress and some massage to stimulate blood flow when your hands and feet go numb and feel extremely cold. Improving the diet and taking dietary supplements can also eliminate tingling sensations.

- Q. What is the treatment for dengue?
- Sunaina
  May 26, 2014 View All Answers (1)
- A.
  There is no specific medication for treatment of a dengue infection. Persons who think they have dengue should use analgesics (pain relievers) with acetaminophen and avoid those containing aspirin. They should also rest, drink plenty of fluids, and consult a physician. If they feel worse (e.g., develop vomiting and severe abdominal pain) in the first 24 hours after the fever declines, they should go immediately to the hospital for evaluation.

- Q. Does the fact that I am scared of loud sounds mean that I have an ear problem? Should I see an ENT specialist?
- Vidhushi Sinha
  May 12, 2014 View All Answers (1)
- A. It could possibly indicate an ear problem. But. people are generally scared of sudden loud noises like in horror movies. I do not know what kind of sounds you are really talking about. Sounds that are more than the average dbs that a human ear can tolerate can scare anyone.

- A.
  If you're uncomfortable, take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or aspirin. Read the label carefully for proper dosage, and be careful not to take more than one medication containing acetaminophen, such as some cough and cold medicines.

- Neetu

- A. I know of a friend who got fever when a lizard fell on her shoulder. I guess this is more like fever because of shock but then as far as i know shock releases the same hormones into the body that stress does. If my theory is right, there is a high possbility that excessive stress can cause fever.
