Are my hand anything wounds after wash my hands
Brief Answer:
I see the image in picture 4.
Detailed Answer:
I see the white item in the 4th picture.
If you didn't get cut, and I don't see any cuts, then you don't need to worry.
Also, if it was your own garbage, you shouldn't have a risk of HIV, which I think you have been concerned about in the past.
But your hand looks fine.
No need for any tests.

Brief Answer:
No concern about HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
There is no threat of HIV.
If you washed your hands, there is less chance of a bacterial infection if there is any cut, but I don't see any cut.
I wouldn't worry about what this white object is.
I don't think it's possible to recall everything that ends up in our trash, but the white object looks like something that was torn off of a package when opening it.
No concern about HIV.

Brief Answer:
No need for HIV testing in this situation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
So if I understand the history right, you were assisting a hotel guest that had a young child who's nose looked full of something?
This is not an HIV risk. The salty taste in your mouth may be from post nasal drainage that you may have that you may not be aware of.
Casual contact, even with the little boy who may or may not have previously had a bloody nose, is not an HIV risk. So no need for HIV testing.

Brief Answer:
Possible stomach upset/reflux.
Detailed Answer:
It's very possible that the ice tea is causing you a temporary problem with acid reflux, which can also give a bitter, sour, or "off" taste in the mouth. If you have any stomach discomfort, consider taking Zantac 150 mg. It is sold without prescription at any drug store.

Brief Answer:
Reflux doesn't always happen immediately.
Detailed Answer:
It doesn't always cause stomach upset or reflux immediately.
If you are having trouble now, though, then it would be reasonable to take the Zantac. It is a safe medication.

Brief Answer:
It is likely to be temporary.
Detailed Answer:
This is possible. But please don't worry about it as it is likely to be temporary and go away soon.
It wouldn't make your legs ache though. Is it possible you were out in the hot sun too long without protection and got overheated?

Maybe salty mouth stinging tonyge could it be lack of water this has nothing with the kid
Brief Answer:
Possible
Detailed Answer:
It's hard to say, but dehydration can make the mouth feel off. If you were in the hot sun a lot, and drank a lot of tea with caffeine in it, then yes, there is more chance that you could be dehydrated. Drink more water tonight and rest.
