What Is The Treatment For A Lump In The Face And Tiredness?

Hello Doctor, I need your advise. Recently have lost weight though I haven t been eating properly due to my work schedule but I have really lost weight than I can imagine but when I noticed have been eating properly and gradually gaining weight, I can tell by my trousers( waist) , I also feel tired recently and have been coughing since yesterday. A month ago I had this weird lump on my face but it dried up itself. Am very worried, I don t want to admit it s HIV because I haven t had any unprotected sex. Been cautious ever since. My schedule has been very busy and am stressing much. What do you think Is wrong with me? I await your response.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If you really lost weight, it is not necessary for you to be HIV positive. There are very many reasons of loss of weight starting from diabetes mellietus, Thyrotoxicosis, Tuberculosis and being HIV positive. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for routine blood tests like CBC, Blood sugar, thyroid functions tests, and of course a HIV test. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations and physical findings.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
