Hi doc,
Some months back,i had malaria and typhoid which i went to d hospital and was given Ciproflox and Artermether.After completion,there was no improvement.i went back and was given Augmentin and Quinine.No improvement.I was then given Camosunate(Artemesunate/Amodiaquine) and peflucine /Doxycycline.No parasite was seen when i did a stool culture but the malaria parasite persisted as 2++(P.faciparum).I took Mefloquine,Coartem(Artemesunate/Lumefanthrine) still to no avail.What other options do i have cos i still feel feverish especially at night.Thanks a million.Lest i forget,i did full blood count and HIV cos i was curious but the HIV was negative and as for the pathology lab result,the parameters was normal.CHEERS

If you've taken all these malaria medications and you still have fever, maybe you don't have malaria despite whatever the lab says. Malaria is not the only condition that could cause fever you know.

@Naijaking

sorry about that, i've notified the admin about it. the removed posts will be restored ASAP.

@oyinda and ethanol

@Naijaking
Thanks doc for your prompt response.My worries is that i feel sick and the lab result still shows 2++ from the initial 3+++.My temp.is within normal range but sometimes gets to 37.5 esp. at nite.My major worries is insomnia,my taste bud is bitter and body pain.What could be the problem and what is the solution?

Doc, what do you advice.Thanks a million.CHEERS.

pls i need medical advice. i have had this headache since may. it all started in may, i was actually take a slimming drug a friend bought for me from the US, and after a week i started having this headache and chest pain so i stopped the drug and when i read the leaflet found that those were some of its side effects including dizziness which i was experiencing too. When i stopped taking the drugs it stopped but now on a monthly basis i have this terrible headache once to thrice in a month, is so bad that i won't be able to do anything till the pain goes down and thats like about 5hrs after esp after i throw up. i'm also on iucd birth control, i don't know if it has something to do with it cos the last time i went to see my doc he asked if the iucd was giving me headaches but i said no cos i was not xperiencing any then, pls i need your advice on what to do cos the headache can be so severe.

Your history will be much better, and helpful to you if you give the name of the slimming drug you're taking. Many of these drugs have been banned in the US. Your history should also contain information about the possibility of pregnancy. Believe it or not, there is nothing to hide in medicine----- real orthodox medicine, I mean.

Let's try this again.
Hair loss could be caused by many factors such as genetics---father, brothers, uncles have same problem; nutritional deprivation of essential vitamins and elements; and infection. Given that some part of your hair is re-growing after some treatment makes me think that your loss might be infection-related. If you have been diagnosed with tinea capitis(ring worm of the head)-- then, you have a diagnosis, and all you need to do is find applicable therapy.
So, what medicine were you prescribed, what dose, what route, and for how long did you take it?

Thank you sir. Now i can start, i hope you will find time to read my story.
About 7yrs back when i was preparing for my waec examination, i discovered that i was finding it difficult to read for a longer hours (say 4  hours). Initially, i thought it was the smoke emitting from the lamp that i was using then, so i stopped using it. Even after that, the problem refuse to stop, instead it worsen. It got to a stage that, after reading for the restricted number of hours during the night, i find it very difficult to see the text in a book the following morning. The problem increase with the number of time i spend in reading, the more i try to read, the lesser i can.

After my waec exam, i left reading for some time and i didn't notice the problem much. 4yrs back while i was preparing for my jamb, the problem resurfaced just as it was then, seeing that it will disturb my preparation for my exam, i went to an optician who recommended a lens for me. I began to use that lens whenever i'm ready to start reading, but i soon discover that the lens only keep me more longer, but doesn't stop the problem. I tried to explain to the optician, but it seems he doesn't believe or understand what i was saying, so i felt he was a quack. So i decided to try the teaching hospital in my town. After i went through some test and all that, i was again recommended to use a 1.50 power distance lens as against the 1.25 i was using before. Yet the problem was still there, although i could stay a little more longer now with the 1.50, but it doesn't allow me achieve my reading target which makes me feel so bad.
I also tried explaining to the other optician but he doesn't believe me, telling me it is not possible and end up not been able to proffer any further solution. I'm tired of this situation, not knowing the next step to take, after spending so much without any substantial results. It's really terrible!. So, i have decided to ask nairaland doctors, PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt reply. When i went to the teaching hospital in my town, i was directed to an ophthamologist center. I think they were the one that recommended the second lens. The surprising part of it is that none of them has even prescribe a drug for me. I hope you can help.
