@Balogun, I'm of AA genotype. I always feel feverish. After taking lumartem, that condition disappears. About two days after completing antimaleria medications, another feverish feeling often begins. I would then take Ciprofloxacin for 14days, and my body health restored. Immediately after completing that, too, feverish feeling would creep in again, and after taking antimalarial, peace would reign in my body. There was a time I took lumartem and ciprox medications together, still, the condition has been like dt for d past 5years. I almost undergo HIV TEST everyday but always negative. Pls, advice me. |

Hello Doc, Is there a permanent cure for the treatment of staph. My sister got married about 2yrs ago and during that time, she ran a lab test and staph aureus was seen. She treated it and got pregnant immediately. Fast forward to this year, she ran a test after complaining of mild stomach ache and also did a scan. The urine test and hvs result indicated a yeast infection and scanty growth of staphylococcus seen. She has been placed on drugs that are sensitive to the bacteria. She is confused on what brought about a reoccurence? Please your input would be highly appreciated. Thanks. |

hello doctors in the house, i have a pal that complains of secreting phlegm in his mouth without coughing specially anytime he tries to clear his throat phlegm comes out with it. what can he do? |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 4:10am On Feb 25, 2015 |
fearless07: If she is otherwise healthy with no serious medical problems, just treat the UTI. The staph is probably contamination. Staph a. can be found normally on skin surfaces. I wouldn't worry about the staph; she would be better off focusing on her pregnancy. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 4:16am On Feb 25, 2015 |
Rostel2: Post nasal drip. Check for allergens; molds, dust, chemicals, smoke etc. Pay attention to possible triggers. Try anti histamines (diphenhydramine), nasal sprays (fluticasone) etc. Any reflux symptoms? If it persists for some time, go and see ENT doc if you can afford it. Best. |

Pls, what causes pain @ the upper left side of the rib, the pain is on and off |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Chartey(m): 10:08am On Feb 25, 2015 |
fearless07:Please tell her to always go to see a doctor first. The doctor will then tell you the tests to do and interpret the result himself/herself. That Staph is likely just a contamination. Don't just go to labs anyhow. |

@ Xiadnat, i was told not to take those drugs cos i av a ulcer, the left side to make some murmoring sounds every seconds wit pains, radiating to my left breast underneath, if i use paracetamol, it will go but the pain will still comes back |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 2:46pm On Feb 25, 2015 |
Dadsonval: So, you have a heart murmur? You are audibly hearing it or diagnosed by a doc? Alright. Thanks for telling me the crucial history. What is your age? With that piece of information, I would advice you to go to your GP and get: 1. ECG baseline 2. Echocardiogram to evaluate the heart murmur 3.Chest x-ray 4. Cardiac markers (optional) Are there any other symptoms: short of breath? palpitations? fatigue" diaphoresis (sweating)? Nausea etc... RE ulcer: how bad is your ulcer? Cause you could potentially take it with a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (US). But, perhaps, just avoid it altogether. Can try non NSAIDs like tramadol. |

@Xiadnat, I'm of AA genotype. I always feel feverish. After taking lumartem, that condition disappears. About two days after completing antimaleria medications, another feverish feeling often begins. I would then take Ciprofloxacin for 14days, thinking it's enteric fever, and my health restored. Immediately after completing that, too, feverish feeling would creep in again, and after taking antimalarial, peace would reign in my body. There was a time I took lumartem and ciprox medications together, still, the condition has been like dt for d past 5years. I almost undergo HIV TEST everyday, and it's always negative.

Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 5:51am On Feb 26, 2015 |
StealthIdeals: Ineffective treatment. You are getting relapse from release of parasites from the liver. Malaria infects both the liver and the red blood cells. The liver is the reservoir for malaria parasites. The lumartem treats only the red blood cells affected by the parasites. It doesn't treat those hiding out in the liver. What happens is when you take lumartem, you kill off parasites in the blood stream. BUT, soon after, the parasites in the liver are still replicating and releasing parasites into the blood stream from the liver. Hence, the febrile cycle. In other words, you need something that will kill off the parasites stored in the liver. Primaquine is an anti-malarial that targets liver. Add PRIMAQUINE TO LUMARTEM. Try that and let me know how it goes. |

Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by PeyButtons(f): 9:35am On Feb 26, 2015 |
Hi doctors, when my 7 month old LO coughs she brings out mucus(particially think. Whitish). Should I be worried. Tnx. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 12:44pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
PeyButtons: No worries; provided she is not febrile, and sputum(mucus) is not bloody, greenish/yellow and cough is not barking or whooping cough; AND she appears well. Anticipatory guidance: do not give her cough suppressants, it is not recommended for children under age of 2. Keep her immunization up to date. If develops fever up to 100 degrees, cough is persistent past 10 days, turns bloody/greenish/yellow, wheeze/barking/whooping cough then take her to a pediatrician. If she is having increased work of breathing, grunting/retracting, turning pale/blue, listless, appear ill and the like: call 911 (?), or just go to ED/A&E. Best. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Dadsonval(f): 4:35pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
No, the murmur is down the stomach, i can hear it, its like worms playing there. I'm 29yrds old, my ECG- left atrial enlargement, normal P-R interval, normal QRS duration, right axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy, T wave inversion infero-lateral leads and normal ST segment. Echo result- obstructive lesion at the mitral valve level creating enlargement of LA, RA, RV and PA. The USS result- liver is 7cm, the span is 15cm and 16cm enlarged. PV, CBD normal, IVC 25mm enlarged with enlarged hepatic veins. I have not done chest Xtray. I can breath very well, no sweating, my BP is 100/70, no nausea. Thnks |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 7:16pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
Dadsonval: Wonderful. I am a little busy right now, but give me some time to read and make sense of this test results. I will get back at you at my earliest convenience. Thanks. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 9:45pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
Dadsonval: Hey there again; I am still reading this result. But, one thing I can say now from the results of the ECHO and ECG is that you have congestive hepatomegaly most likely from right sided heart failure. The wormy feeling is the congestion of vessels in the abdomen with fluid. Most common cause of right sided heart failure is left sided heart failure. Now, your mitral stenosis (obstructive lesion at mitral valve) is mostly contributing to the right heart failure. Did you per chance have rheumatic heart disease that you know? You likely also have a heart murmur with mitral obstruction. You also probably have pulmonary hypertension. Now what intrigues me is why you don't have shortness of breath. Because mitral stenosis means fluid backs up the lung and causes breathing issues. Be that as it may: see a GP, you gotta do some more testing: CXR, liver function tests, liver scan. Also need to start some treatment as well. You may eventually need to see a cardiologist or GI (hepatologist) doc. Please ask more questions if any. Good luck. |
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 10:55pm On Feb 26, 2015 |
I think it may not be your field, but I still believe you can help me interpret these PTA and Tympanogram tests (ENT). Due to some circumstances, I was unable to go and meet the consultant that recommended the tests. thanks. find the tests below.

Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 12:31am On Feb 27, 2015 |
StealthIdeals: You are quite correct. Tympanograms and audiograms are not my cup of tea. But, I glanced quickly over "how to read them". Here is the interpretation: Hearing tests/audiogram: Ist table Normal adult hearing: 0-25 decibels. Your Right ear average hearing: 63 decibels Your left ear average hearing: 68 decibels Interpretation: This individual has moderate to severe conductive hearing loss on both ears (worse on the left side). This means the person is not able to hear normal voice conversations and has to read lips. Typanogram: 2nd table Normal graph You have normal tympanic membrane (ear drum). This is not the problem for your hearing loss. Recommedation: see an audiologist and ENT depending on your other history. Take care! |
