Dr asked me to drink plenty of water for the same I feel thirsty at night after dinner when I go to sleep I may get up once at midnight to take a leak is it fine sir? Do you need to drink less water despite feeling thirsty? is a complete urine test once in year OK? I like your answers which are helping hundreds of people

Ans: The medicines you are referring to are in group of Gliflozins (SGLT-2 inhibitors). These medicines are very effective and pass the sugar through urine. Anyone on these medicines should drink a lot of water. Yes, you can drink a lot of water in the night or any time.

Dear Doctor, I am 41 years old, 6 ft 1 tall, 143 kg in weight. I used to be a heavy drinker, I have stopped for the last 3 months. I am suffering from gout and off late I am having problem with rectal leaks. Is it a matter of concern? Last time I checked I am not diabetic, Nor did I have fatty lever. Can you pls advise?

Ans: The rectal leaks may be due to a lax anal sphincter but I think you need to be examined by a surgeon. If the attacks of gout are very frequent , you will need to take drugs to decrease your uric acid levels. Cutting down on non vegetarian food will also help

I got 96.95 percentile in JEE Mains as being general EWS boy and wishing for CSE branch AI or data science specialisation can I get seat in any NITs? Please help me with this... Thank you

Ans: Hello dear.
With a score of 96.95 %tile and EWS category, it will be challenging to get CSE/AI/DS in NITs. But keep a close eye on the admission process and fill the options with utmost care. At this percentile, you may get sure admission in IIITs. Pl focus more on 2nd attempt of JEE so that you can improve your score and get admission to CSE @ NIT.
