When to go in?

Why do I have a fever after my flu shot?
Immunizations depend on the body's immune system to respond. Part of this response can be local warmth or redness, mild malaise, or even low-grade fevers. OTC medication usually helps with the symptoms, and they are usually transient. If they last more than 24-48 hours or get progressively worse, get checked out. READ MORE
Can asthma go away?

Diabetes affecting my baby

Is my vitamin b12 deficiency from my change in diet?
Without knowing your Vitamin B12 level before your dietary change there is not a way to be sure. However, you have reduced B12-rich foods in your diet including red meat and dairy. Other foods you could consider are fish such as mackerel and salmon, and shellfish. Many foods such as breakfast cereals are B12-fortified, so look for that on the label as well. READ MORE
Shortness of breath
Depending on the circumstances, your symptom could reflect numerous different problems ranging from mild anxiety to serious heart or lung issues. The presence of wheezing, palpitations, dizziness, or other symptoms could provide more information, but a checkup focusing on this issue would be advisable. READ MORE
Why does hay fever severity fluctuate
The most likely explanation is a fluctuation in the types and levels of seasonal allergens you are exposed to from year to year. Environmental changes such as temperature and humidity fluctuations can change what plants and other allergens are most prevalent during any given season. READ MORE
My hands swell when I exercise
Some things that come to mind are tight exercise clothing, unusual allergic response (hives) to substances released in your body during exercise, or some sort of issue with blood vessels supplying your arms. It would be a good idea to get it checked out. READ MORE
