Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available

Hi doctors on board, i need an urgent help now

He is 67 yrs old, had a cough that lasted for a whole month, last year november after so many tests including sputum and x-rays, nothing was found i mean he wasnt a TB patient either, no HIV, no cancer except an inflammed lungs.

He was later placed on some anti-TB drugs which he had used for the past 4 months, and of course the cough subsided until like a month back he developed cold and catarrh which was treated. 3 weeks ago the situation deteriorated so much so he was seriously weak and when taken to the hospital in his weak state, he was thoroughly checked, i mean BP, temperature, urinalysis, blood culture and the doctor refused to admit him stating he cannot diagnose whatever was wrong. we were referred to the university teaching hospital where SEPSIS was querried.

For almost two weeks he was placed on antibiotics, (rocephine and flagyl) he came around after 6 days, recognised people but he still confused and lethagic. we did series of test at the teaching hospital and which i could only pick a lil of the results, eg. after an ECG i saw something like Left Atrial Enlargment (meanwhile other tests showed "normal" "negative"), we also went for ECHO test which we could not collect till we were discharged cos as at then he was already eating and can sit on the chair and can also sit up by himself, although the general weakness is still evident as he cannot stand on his own without support.

Now my problem is that from time to time after he was discharge he has been in this confused state, sleeps for so long, doesnt shift on his bed and of course cannot stand to toilet. I wish i know what is wrong, as at today though he opened his eyes and talks in a confused state. I wish i can be helped. WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG?

Dr. Balo n naijaking1 am proud of you guys, you are doing a wonderful job. May Almighty God continue to increase your knowledge and guide your family. Please , i will like to ask, for  how long should i continue to take anti-acid or ppi? last night i took anti-acid , it helped a great deal.  thank you so much.

Please what makes one to fart ALL the time (no beans) and what is the solution?Thanks.

You're welcome.
You shouldn't take anti-acids all the time and forever, there's a reason why 'God created the stomach' to have to strong acid in it. It's better to take it as needed.
With time you'll learn which foods cause you acid indigestion and those that don't, then you can change your eating habits accordingly.
Chocolates, alcohol, fatty food-----will cause indigestion
Fresh vegetables, protein meals, fruits---- will not cause acid reflux.

interesting! but i saw the reply on my mobile. i wish admin can work on that.

Thanks 4 the respond u gave me.i want u to knw dat most time i feel the itching is when i eat anything or take in water.about the darkenig of the skin,i think there are changes like dark spot and some rashes too.i am not fat because i dont eat well and i mostly conplain of that.and u kwn because of this itch i allways afraid to eat anything.

If you're not fat, but there're some dark spots that itch, then you simply have to apply some antifungal on the area 2x a day, for about 60. If the itching is intenified by eating certain food, you maybe allergic to those foods, try avoiding them if you can. Try going to show this spots to your doctor and see what he says.
