Have you cone into contact with any covid patient. Check your aarogya app. If not then it can be allergic rhinitis. 1. Do saline gargles daily (preferably twice). 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.

I have white patches on skin is it due to virus or something else. Sometimes its itching. Please tell me.
White spots on skin can occur due to a number of reasons, of which conditions can be mild or severe. The condition can be mild or severe, and generally covers the majority of the skin on a particular area of the body. They may also cause irritation or itching. The occurrence of whites on the face can be extremely distressing. People affected with this problem should obtain medical advice to diagnose what is causing the condition and the suitable treatment. Causes of White Spots White spots on the face occur for various reasons. Understanding some of these reasons may be beneficial in treating the condition. Furthermore, understanding the cause can also help people avoid certain circumstances that increase the risk. 1. Tinea Versicolor This is a chronic fungal infection of the skin. Also known as pityriasisversicolor, this fungus causes discolored patches on the skin as it interferes with the normal pigmentation. The color of the patches may be darker or lighter than the surrounding skin and most often, affects the back and trunk of adolescent males. Exposure to sunlight, hot, humid weather, oily skin and excessive sweating may aggravate the condition. 2. Vitiligo This is a skin condition that results in the loss of melanocyte pigmentation of the skin. This results in white patches that feel as if it is part of the skin. The cause of vitiligo is unclear although it is believed to be an autoimmune disease. However, mild trauma to any area of the skin including the face can also result in the development of vitiligo. Vitiligo can affect the face, hands and feet, elbows and genital area. 3. Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis White spots on the face may also be due to Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis, a skin condition resulting in 2 to 5 mm flat, white spots commonly found on the shins and forearms. This skin condition mostly affects fair skinned people, although it may occur in dark skinned individuals too. The white spots may occur more commonly in people over the age of 40. 4. Pityriasis Alba This skin condition is common in children aged 6 to 12. It is a rash that appears on the face, neck and arms, and is not easily differentiated between normal skin. The rash may be covered with skin flakes resembling light dust. The cause of Pityriasis Alba is not known and is often considered as a form of eczema. This condition is often mistaken with vitiligo. However, while vitiligo has a distinct border, Pityriasis Alba does not.

-Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection that is passed between people through skin-to-skin contact. There are more than 100 varieties of HPV, but mainly there are 40 varieties that affect the genitals, mouth, or throat, that are passed through direct sexual contact or oral sex. -HPV can cause cervical cancer and other cancers of the genitals, head, neck, and throat,genital warts and warts in the throat. -Pap smear is done to rule out its infection in females -Since most cases of HPV go away on their own, there is no treatment for the infection itself. -The easiest ways to prevent HPV are to use condoms and to limit sexual partners. In addition, there is HPV vaccine for women and men who can get vaccinated until age 26. The vaccine is said to protect against the types of HPV associated with cancer and also to prevent some types that cause warts.

Will you please tell me about zika virus , how it spreads and what are it's consequences ?
Fever with red eyes with rash over the skin with joint pain are few initial symptoms of zika virus and it's dangerous only for newborn babies.

Hello sir. I'm a 22 year old male. Please I beg you to read this completely. From the past 4 weeks, I have the complain of almost constant feeling of fever (with no fever on thermometer ), weakness, fatigue and malaise. Initially, I dismissed it attributing to some viral infection that is causing this low grade fever and will resolve itself. I regularly workout and due to this fever, I have not been able to go to the gym. I feel the following symptoms: 1.) feeling of feverish sensation in body. It feels like my body is on fire. My palms and soles get sweaty and sweat can be easily seen in the lines of my palms. Everything feels hot to touch. My parents touch my body and say that the temperature is normal but when I touch myself, it feels very hot. My eyes feel like they are mildly burning. Neck area pains with a dull ache. 2.) I had some traces of blood in my stool. The toilet bowl water generally turns bright oranges red after I defecate. I have cramps and diarrhea that recur after every 2-3 days. This has also made me very weak 3.) my tongue gets frequently reddish and swollen. It heals itself and then gets red and swollen again after some time this has been repeating. My parents suspected that I have "heat" in my stomach so I have been taking buttermilk, cool beverages, watermelons etc I have seen 2 gp's, who gave me evion lc and nutrolin b plus. They helped with the energy and fatigue issue but only till I took them. I have seen a gastroenterologist as well, and he has ordered hemogram tsh kft vitamin d3 levels tissue transglutaminase antigen test ct enterography and colonoscopy and ileoscopy. He told me that for stomach issues I have ibs probably. But ibs doesn't causes fever and weakness. So far, the blood test results have come and all are normal. I'm still not able to understand what is causing this fever in me. People and doctors previously have dismissed it by saying that I don't have fever, but I do feel feverish. My soles and palms get sweaty and sticky. I feel weak and am not able to workout. I am well aware of my energy levels and the intensity of my exercise, but now I can't do it. I can't do even normal physical activity. I get tired easily. So there is something that is still not being diagnosed. Please help me understand it. Is it typhoid? Is it epstein barr virus? And please please please rule out cfs/me. I am very scared of that. I have my whole life in front of me and my college is about to end. I don't know but for over a month, my life has been very bad and miserable. I'm not able to live a normal life I take the following medications right now:- bupropion hydrochloride for anxiety and depression (6 months plus, I assure you that this feverish sensation and weakness has nothing to do with my anxiety. I can tell the difference) meva sr for cramps (started this week) probiotics and probiotics (started this week) apart from that, I took nvm, evion lc, folitas, fish oil, l-thiamine supplements before. Please help me know what is the cause. I want to get perfectly normal as soon as possible. This feverish sensation, hot soles and palms, weakness and loss of energy is really very bad I sincerely request you to please make me understand what is the problem. Also, this feverish feeling of burning has happened to me before twice. It happened last year, when it resolved after 1 week itself. But now, it is not. Please help me. Thanks and regards.

Hello, I think I have genital herpes virus 1. Please recommend medicines and creams.
Hello- Herpes (HSV 1) is an opportunistic virus. It takes hold and comes back when the immune system is weak or when you are run down. If you keep your immune system healthy, you can significantly reduce your chances of future outbreaks. Many ayurveda preparations are available for body rejuvenation ex- Chyavanprash. Along with it local application of herbal paste prepared from powders of sandle wood, rose, amalki,Neem etc. These preparations rejuvenate the skin and restores the structure -color of skin. These preparations also reduce local inflammation of the skin and skin gets a very good resistance to subsequent attacks. The tenderness of the skin vanishes and skin discoloration fades to get back the natural color.
