Question: Dr. XXXXXXX Bhavsar

sir i have to discus some some problems. i am again in flue condition . i was very much normal but again flue or cold came. i have runny nose , i have cough and phlegm. and all this start with an anti mosquito spray. which i used last week. but sir i was not as much sensitive before. now i from 2 days i observe blood from nose , its small amount but its enough to give me tention. sir if i see last 6 month. i have flue or cold symptoms near about 4 times. which is too much. as i told you before from last 2 month i was living in a place with grass and trees. and i have observed these are the reasons. that increase my problems. my eyes becomes watery and i start sneezing , my ears also feel different suddenly. but now i have proper flue like symptoms. means i feel a little hot air from my nose. does such things are normal ? because i have a fear of big disease. Most of my problems are related to sinus or allergy. but when i checked on internet .it was clearly mentioned that sinus is more comes to people with hiv. is that true?
and one more problem is related to one pimple on my scrotum . which once cause to bleed too much. now again from last 2 weeks i have same type of pimple. i am in a fear it can tear. what could be the reason of that?

Brief Answer:
All infections are more common in HIV infected person.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
HIV /AIDS is immuno compromised disease.
So all infections are common in AIDS patients.
So it is not that you are having Sinus infection so you are surely having AIDS.
Sinus infection is itself very common in general community.
Get done HIV testing and if it is negative, forget about HIV. Don't you think this is more simple way rather than thinking too much about HIV?
Can you send me picture of your scrotal pimple?

Brief Answer:
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for this pimple. It is mostly due to simple infection.
Apply betadine cream on this.
Wear cotton undergarments only.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Wash private parts with warm water twice daily.
Avoid excessive perspiration.
And I think you are taking so much stress regarding your HIV infection status.
Best way is to get done the test. If it is negative then it will automatically reduce your stress levels and symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for big diseases.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for big diseases.
Don't think too much.
You should start combination of anti histamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) for 1-2 months.
I think, this will help you a lot.
Yes, possibility of environmental substance related allergies is more in your case.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause similar symptoms.

Detailed Answer:

I can understand your concern.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause similar symptoms.
So get done vitamin b 12 level and if Deficiency than you will need supplements.
If vitamin b 12 level is normal then no need to worry for these symptoms.
They might be due to allergy.
