Good evening my Doctors and Pharmacists.
I have not been seeing any Dentists on this thread or maybe i've failed to notice.
Anyway, i'm an aspiring Dentist who wants to study at U.I. I know my doctors here will help us through our time in school because i'm already seeing myself as a student doc.

How to Treat a Urinary
Tract Infection
You don't really think
much about the
importance of your
urinary tract when you
go to the bathroom.
However, when you
have a urinary tract
infection, you probably
have a hard time thinking
about anything
else. Try some of these
ideas to treat a
urinary tract infection.
They range from
medical solutions to at-
home ideas that will
both help you to recover
and ease pain.
Get Some Medical Help
Evaluate your symptoms.
A
urinary tract infection (UTI)
is most
common in women, and
it's caused
by bacteria in the urethra
and the
urinary bladder. [1] Left
untreated,
this bacteria has the
potential to
make its ways to your
kidneys,
where it can damage
them. The
signs that you may have a
UTI
include:
The feeling that you need
to go
frequently but little or
nothing
actually comes out
Pain/burning during
urination
(dysuria)
Fever and/or chills
Abdominal aching and
pain in
the pelvic region
Cloudy or unusually
colored
(dark yellow or greenish)
urine
Blood in the urine
Foul-smelling urine
Go to the doctor if you
think you
have a UTI. You need to
get an
accurate diagnosis,
particularly if
this is your first infection.
UTIs can be caused by
bacteria,
viruses, fungi and even
parasites. Knowing the
cause will
ensure that you get the
right
treatment. A doctor may
need to
prescribe antibiotics,
antifungals, antivirals or
even
anti-parasite drugs.
You need to know what
type of
UTI you have. For
example,
urethritis is the infection of
the
urethra (the channel that
carries
urine from your bladder
outside
your body) while cystitis
is an
infection of the bladder. [
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Fedric(m): 10:38am On Jul 06, 2013

Only a doctor can
prescribe
drugs for such conditions
as
bladder spasms (e.g.,
atropine)
and intense pain.
Moreover, only
a doctor will be able to
determine whether
surgery is
needed. [3]
Take the entire course of
medication that's
prescribed to
you. Unfortunately, UTIs
easily
become resistant if you
don't finish
antibiotics,[4]so follow
the
instructions carefully and
take all
of your pills for the
specified time
period.
Do not drink alcohol if you
are
on antibiotics. It weakens
their
effectiveness.
Stay out of the sun if
you're
prescribed bactrim or any
sulfa
medications.
Call your doctor if you
don't
notice improvements
within a
24-hour period . Even if
you feel
better, take all of your
medicationto completely wipe out the
infection.
Control fever and pain
using
over-the-counter
acetaminophen, ibuprofen
or
naproxen sodium. If you
have
questions about what
works best,
talk to your doctor.
Take an over-the-counte r
medication like Azo
Standard:
Fast Relief for Urinary
Pain . Note
that this medicine will turn
your
urine a bright yellowish
orange
color.
Ask your doctor if you
can take
this medication before
your
appointment because it
may
affect the doctor's ability to
read your test results.
Azo also makes an over-
the-
counter UTI test strip.
Urinate
over the strip and read the
results. Of course, these
at-
home tests aren't perfect.
See
the doctor as a smart
precaution
even if you test negative.
Home Remedies to Make
You Feel
Better
Increase your fluid intake .
Both
during a UTI and after,
you need
lots of fluids to flush out
the
infection and to keep you
hydrated.
Drinking plenty of fluids
can help
to prevent cystitis.[5]
Choose water, non-
caffeinated
tea and other healthy
drinks.
Avoid caffeine, which
could
dehydrate you. Also,
avoid
sugary drinks and alcohol.

If it's your age you're considering, you're still very young...by very, i mean VERY! I have people in their late 30's in my class. If medicine is your passion, there's no harm trying again and giving it all ur shot.

I seriously don't get why those guys try so hard to prove that they're better than medical doctors. Why can't we all just believe we're equal and be fine with each other? What's with the complex


Dr. Osahon, are you now saying Dentistry is more challenging than Medicine

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Obinnau(m): 3:16pm On Jul 11, 2013
From my own understanding medics and dentists are pretty much on the same level and footing, the only problem I see there is that people feel like that if I didn't study medicine, then there is no other better area in the health world. My 100 cents though.

I think you should continue with your present course of study,and then take the DE route when you roundoff. This might be a better option since you didn't sit for UTME this year.(you made a mistake not writing the UTME in the first place).

Why? because you will be in 300l during the next admission session and will have just one year or so left to graduate.In My Opinion, leaving 300l to start afresh is a waste of time and resources.(it would have been an easier decision to make if you hadnt gone in for anatomy already).

By 23+ you would have been done with your first degree, then you can go in for Medicine.(double achievement wink wink winkthats if the passion remains.
