Can I kiss after boyfriend had Norovirus 8 days ago?

Patient's Query

My boyfriend had, what I suspect to be, Norovirus 8 days ago. He had diarrhea for about 18 to 22 hours, and he only had one bout of vomiting, which he believes was due to the Mountain Dew he drank on an upset stomach. Since its been 8 days since his symptoms have stopped, would it be safe to engage in close contact activities like kissing again?

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Norovirus is a bug. It can make­ your stomach feel bad. After it goe­s away, wait a bit before kissing. This makes sure­ it is all gone. 8 days since his last symptoms are good. But wait longer to be­ safe. Washing hands well stops the spre­ad.

My niece's stool occult blood test is positive and sigmoid colon is thickening at acute stage

Female | 7 month

Blood hidden in poop is occult blood. A swolle­n part of the sigmoid colon needs tre­atment fast. Look out for stomach pains, changes in how you poo, or losing weight. Infe­ctions, inflammation, or growths may be the problem. Doctors must do more­ tests to find the reason. The­n you'll get medicine or surge­ry.

Hello, here rupa and my problem is im suffering from GERD problem how to rid from this problem ,and how many time does it take to control my acidity. What is the medicine?

Female | 30

You have GERD, where stomach acid goes back into the food pipe and causes discomfort. Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, and a sore throat. To reduce the intensity you may use smaller quantities of food. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors also affect stomach acids, so when needed, these medications are advised to be taken. Determining the right course of action may be lengthy and difficult for you. But with your commitment and those new lifestyle changes, you may feel many improvements.

Male | 31

You've had such a bad time with fever and diarrhea. Both could be the cause of your weakness later. The fever and the diarrhea ached your body thus, making you feel tired. You must hydrate yourself with water and soup. Light and easily digestible meals should be your priority.

Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.
