Hello,

Thank you for trusting us with your health query. What happens is that when you are exposed to cold, your immunity decreases and you are more prone to getting infected by viral infections. But, you should not develop these symptoms if you are careful and protect yourself from contacting these infections. So wash your hands often, stay away from people who have flu like symptoms if possible, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly to increase your immunity, take a multivitamin supplement. Let me know if you have other questions or concerns. Regards, Dr. Papaqako

But this is due to cold or allergic conditions. Everybody washes hair. I wash with warm water .still fever bodyache happens

Patient asked followup Question: 7 years ago

Is this due to allergy

Dr. Klarida Papaqako answered : 7 years ago

If you have fever it is not due to allergy, because allergic reaction does not cause fever. Fever is caused because of infection, which can be viral (in this case it is self limited) or bacterial (it will need a visit to a local doctor and treatment with antibiotics).

Doctor's Answer

Please Get X ray or MRI of your Lower Back !! will have to clear whether the pain arising is from back and referred to knee and foot, or is solely knee joint pain. when you hear sound like tuk while folding or unfolding ie bending and straightening your knees, that means your popliteus muscle ie behind the knee joint is weak and complete load is taken by the meniscus or ligament supporting the knee. i would advise you 3 things, get mri scan for lower back, strengthen the muscle and ligament of y ...

Hi! The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative. A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ...
