Brief Answer:
Viral infections are usually self limiting.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I don't know why your threads are abruptly ending. Sorry for this. There must be some technical issues with HCM.
See, viral infections are usually self limiting.
But they are recurrent too. So you may get viral infection in future also.
At present, you should not take any medicines.
Your phlegm issue is might be due to allergy.
Please let me know
1. Do you have any allergies?
2. Do you have sneezing or nose blockage?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Generalized means in entire body.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.

Sorry that you are not understanding my words.
Generalized means in entire body.
I want to ask whether these twitching are seen in entire body or are they located in particular part of body?
Are these twitchings always on one particular part?
These kind of twitchings are commonly seen with calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 deficiency. So get done vitamin B12, vitamin D3 and calcium levels and if deficiency then you will need supplements
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better about twitchings.

Don't worry. Get done calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 levels.

ok sir i will try to do these test. but can u plese tell me one question.
if its due to vitamins deficiency then why it sometimes completely finished? and if i have deficiencies then multivitamins like centrum can work for this?

Answered by Dr. Drkaushal85 (10 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Vitamin deficiency aggravates in stress.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Vitamin deficiency aggravates in stress. So you are having more symptoms like twitching, mouth ulcers etc while having stress in life.
And honestly speaking, I don't know what centrum contains.
Can you upload the picture showing its contents so that I can guide you whether it is sufficient for vitamin deficiency or not.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
