how efective is celegivity for stroke?

Who ask you to buy it or use it?

spartoo:
I have a puncture under both of my feet. They've been there for a very long time close to or more than 10 years. The covering is shaped like a cone which I can pull out after a while, but it forms again later on. It hurts when I walk especially in cold weather.

I haven't really seen a doctor about it. What do you suggest?

I suggest you see a doctor to examine it and tell you what's up with it forming again and again after your numerous pullings.

Compliance:
Thanks for your response sir/ma.

I have done my ECG and it came out normal, the cardiologist however named a term "partial right bundle branch block" which he called normal and can be found in healthy individuals.

I did my kidney function test and it was normal too, they discovered an ectopic right kidney of normal properties. They also said it is not uncommon in healthy individuals.

I did my urinalysis and it was fine too.

Please sir/ma, are there others necessary tests I still need to do? And I sincerely don't mind calling you if you will permit. And please is a long term use of atenonol safe for me?

You may need to discuss with your doctor on changing your antijypertensive cause long term use of Atenolol has a chance to causing anxiety. This is rare and the anxiety could only surface on rare opportunities. Meanwhile, what were those tests you did for the kidney?

worriedguy:
Doctors in the house, I have been experiencing pain in the ear for a while, went to the hospital on Thursday, the doctor asked me a few questions and checked my ear, they discovered it was octomycosis, they gave me one anti fungel eardrop and told me to come back on Monday for ear washing, while I used the eardrop the pain stopped, yesterday I went back to the hospital for the ear washing, I was told me to come back in 6 weeks time. But the problem now is that I started experiencing small pain in the ear yesterday evening...and this morning I started experiencing occasional pain in the other ear, what could be the problem now, is this normal? I still use the eardrop though

Hope, you have seen a doctor concerning this for proper ear examination?

How are you feeling now?

Boss,

Was beaten by heavy rain about three weeks ago and ever since, I have had this fever. I went to FMC and was given Malaria treatment(Lonart) and this is after taking a Malaria drug before now.

Early this week after these treatments, I went for test again and Malaria one plus was diagnosed. I took Maladreich and three injections but the cold and fever continued. Had to be admitted and given several drips and drugs.

Was discharged just yesterday yet am not fully feeling OK. Had a very mild fever now though still taking Gvither tabs.

I am scareddddd

Malaria parasite one plus is not a serious problem, being an African and a Nigerian you are almost by all chances to possess that one plus whether sick or not. So that is not the problem.

You have just been discharge from the clinic, why not give the body time to recuperate. Weeks after a normal medication for Malaria fever, some of us still feels sick especially that low drive to do anything is killing.How much you will take to finally come to yourself is a matter of time and how long you have been ill or if the malaria is secondary to another condition or a complication arising from it. But you just have to beat it and focus on yourself and hope you are well. Go down to work and involve in the normal daily activities. Pooooom! When you are no longer noticing yourself, you just find that you are back to the normal you balling the street.

You will be fine. For the mild fever, just take Paracetamol and eat more of fruits and try much as you can to do little things around you. However, if there is no improvement withing 2-3weeks or it is getting worse before the these weeks, kindly see a doctor.

Good afternoon Drs

@Dr 2Ballz
A brief history before my question.
I had a miscarriage July last year. Did a d and c August 9th. period resumed September and I took in Nov. 34weeks Later (4th of July this year) I had early
contractions and had a stillbirth with cord tied round her neck multiple times which made her chock to death. the delivery was vagina. at 30 weeks I had braxton hicks and was given salbutamol and paracetamol to control it.

before my discharge at the hospital the doctor said my next pregnancy I will have to do cervical cervical cerclage.

my questions
1. is cervical cerclage necessary
2. was told to take clomid ones my period starts but the reviews I got online about the drug scares me. what's your take on clomid.
I really do want to try again what would you advice

Let me attend your questions directly as possible as I can:

1st Que.
is cervical cerclage necessary?

I think this should goes straight to and at the doctor that managed your pregnancy during your prenatal period. Why?
He has been the giving both a physical and pelvic examination and stand to be the one to consider fixing stitches over your cervix. Perhaps, he still feels the morbid prematured birth contraction could have come about by a poor uterine cervical support. This is could be "necessary " or even "not necessary ". Necessity for it will prove itself again and the fact that you have an history to this may tend to push him to examine your cervix in your later pregnancy, a scoring will be done and if probably you have a the cervix has the tendency to let go prematurely, then a fixing is most likely appropriate. However, the cerclage may not be necessary if scoring applies otherwise and your cervical support is adaptive or if there is no other complication that may warrant going for it. Prevention of frequent abortion especially linking to poor cervical support can be avoided if you stay some months at least 6months after an a miscarriage or abortion. This will improve the structure of the uterine cervix to structural functions as well provided there no infection and inborn structural problems before now.

2 2nd Question.

This is also a question left for him to answer. Why did he ask your using of Clomid? There should be a reason for this.
Before I give you my take on Clomid, I would love to know what scares you about Clomid.

eddy1234:
plz I HV a question... can staphylococcus be cured my medical doctors? heavy growth.I HV taken all manner of injections

No! Medical doctors can't cure it. We don't even know what that is at all.

I believe this has been for some while now, why have you delayed in seeing a doctor?

Compliance,

Atenolol is a selective Beta-blocker drug that helps in controlling a high blood pressure. Other major features to which Atenolol is prescribable to someone having Arrythmiasis (either associating with or not high blood pressure). With the likes of Bisoprolol, Mesoprolol and others, it may fit in to avoid heart modeling due to an extensive poorly managed heart failure condition. Long term use significantly is less troublesome.


Now! Have you done ECGs of your heart?

Apart from knowing your HBP, what other thing have you done to confirm or rule out any perceive causes?

Mojisolani, quite an age to haven't heard from you. How are you?
Kindly, send me a chat message when you have this message.

Julbu, please can you put your question in an understand form?

To those it concerns,

Kindly repost where we stopped if at all I haven't finished with you at all. I am a human and I may not have known whom I have passed or not.

LizzyIkeukwu:
it wasn't even after eating cos I could remember before the pains I didn't eat anything with bone. And the pain did change position, the first day I noticed it, it was at the right side of my throat and the following day I felt it at the left side, right now the pain I feel while coughing is very severe,

Lizzy! Lizzy!!

Try and explain better next time. All this time I have thought it was a bone stuck about your throat after a meal.
This is a throat pain lasting about 4days now, right?
Don't over work yourself about this, throat pain and common cold are preponderance among pregnant women (especially at the 1st-2nd trimester) and susceptible ones especially during this rainy season.

I can assure you, it will self-limit on it own provided all things being equal. However, a long stayed throat pained can predisposed you to several health complications such as sinusitis, or even pneumonia or some form of heart problems. If I were you I would on my own try to do the following to avoid these problems :

1) spit out all the sputum form this instead of swallowing. You can't spit them all out, that's like wanting to get your mouth dried. I meant, don't swallow in those excess saliva you will have to experience during this throat paining condition.

2) Both in the early morning and going down to dusk, take your tooth brush and a warm water. Roll over your soft palate with your tongue, you will observe some fleshly inflammatory substance over it. Toothbrush over those area, you may want to vomit cause you will be sweeping over your vomiting trigger zone. This area is deep and you may want to this severally and rinse with the warm water.

3) Avoid talking too loud.

4) Eat warm food and before going to bed, take warm tea.

5) Use Metronidazole for 3-4days. Morning and evening time.

You will be fine.

Should symptoms last above 1wk, kindly seek help from your physical doctor.

macromyk:
lol
I am greatful for your help and contribution
but
if there is anything you feel might be the solution , I would be very happy to hear from you so we can do as you have suggested

Not necessary. Too many cook spoil the broth.

LizzyIkeukwu:
Good evening Doc, please help out, for about 3days now I have been having a feeling like there is a bone stuck in my throat with severe pain, yesterday I started coughing seriously, last night I started taking cough syrup (NGC Expectorant) but it's as if it got worse, now If I drink water or even cough I do have a severe pain in my throat please help me with any rememdy suitable for pregnat woman.

You started having this complaint after eating, and a bone seemed to have stuck at your throat?

Which side of the throat

macromyk:
he said it was the upper part of his stomach that was having pains pain mostly at night very rarely in d day breathing very fine, no complaints about d chest operation site is in perfect healing condition, can't say internally no swelling in the stomach his urine,colour, volume all normal as before
a nurse advised he deworm himself he did so yesterday afternoon and so far he has not felt any pain since taking the pills
so we are observing him for now

Okay. Let me join you guys in observing. Right?

peacengine:
Thanks Doc. She's not asthmatic sir(according to her) but if it's rhinovirus what can she do? I've not known her for up to a year, I'm sure it's not a recent problem too but she hasn't managed it well so far from my observation

Actually, It is not a matter of not managing it well or not. The virus is in the hair and the mares and could provoke symptoms for susceptible persons. The virus exhibit a mild virulence and not one that poses threat to anyone. Spread is easy and usually by breath droplet. You need to educate her on coughing on her sleeves or cubital angle as to get yourself free from her drift.

She may need to do this to fasten relief from this Common cold:

1) Exposure to a steamy environment. Prepare a boiled water in a water bath. You have to wrap over her clothes and bed blanket while she sits around the water bath containing the boiled water. This is making closure on her such that she is expose to high temperature vapors that will decongest nose and reduces the viral activity. This should not last more than 30-45mins. Morning and evening is enough for this.

2) Before going to bed she should take some warm Coffee tea. Or, she should take as a meal a peppersoup of Chicken made or a dried fish.

3) She should make use of some simple antibiotics as to prevent complications leading to sinusitis and otitis media.

4) Avoid coming in contact with crowding.

5) Since she has used decongestant for the while, i would advise she dropped down slowly to avoid rebound from stopping it.

6) Use of pain reliever is advisable to reduce the fever if it is not proving better.

7) Keep the home dust-free as much as you can.

I assure you she will be fine sooner than you expect. Do things 1-2 times, she will improve soon.

Why use an expectorant? Was it a doctor that said you should?
If no, what is the name of the expectorant?

peacengine:
Doc my gal usually experience stuffy nose at night, especially one nostril blocked, her eyes gets watery, she itches whenever anything like dirt touch her skin. This congestions occur mostly at nights and in the mornings, I asked her and she said sometimes dust also causes the same reactions, also she can't stay anywhere there's Cat because she still experiences the same thing. What I noticed is that the problem seems more this raining season and she likes sleeping under fan. How can she manage herself properly to avoid such reactions? I have been buying inhaler for her to use for her blocked nostrils and it works but once cold enters her body everything starts again.

I guess this is not the first time she is experiencing this.

She is having Rhinovirus common cold disturbance.
Is she Asthmatic?

JesusBorn:
Yes, someone different.

Though no associated symptoms except for frequency in the urge to pass urine in night, you may do the following and let me know:
1) Urine m/c/s and Load of bacteria in the urine (Urine bacteria load)

2) Urinalysis.

3) Fasting blood sugar test.

Deriches:
Doc. I carried out urine test which indicates presence of protein+ and other components nil... What could it mean.

Was it recently done?

engrelvis:
my apology doctor.

I follow baba... No qualms!

JesusBorn:
Thanks for your kind response, have gone through my mention but I can't remember Sir, please put me through.

Aren't you that young man that sent me same complaint some weeks back on WhatsApp, we treated for Pseudomonas ( after Urine m/c/s) for which it exhibited resistance to?
Then, I thought it better for you to do Urinalysis which actually lead to knowing your blood sugar was actually high.

Am I dealing with some one different?

engrelvis:
dnt really understand what doctor is saying as per ving many diseases n yet is HIV u r worrying about. Is nt his field so I understand. Hypochondria is a serious psychological anxiety issue .it can create real physical fear n manifestation but most times dey r all in yr head.face yr fear n go for HIV test.am 100 percent sure it will b negative.After ruling out any medical condition next thing is to work on fear.dnt run from it,run into it.in most cases there is trigger. Avoid googling yr symptoms. It will only magnify it.

I guess you haven't read my final counsel to this. Have you?

omoleyeib:
thanks for your response. Please I don't understand what you mean by this above line.

It means they will be fine soon after the delivery of the baby provided all things remains equal.

JesusBorn:
Hello Doctor, for 2 years now I have been having this urge to urinate every 2-3 hours, I wake up 2-3 times in the night to ease my self. After urinating I will shake my penis very well but still a drop of urine will still be on the tip of my penis.

Sir, No pain, No discharge. Have done several test but everything comes out OK.

Please help a brother. Thank you.

I thought I have told you what to do on the other side though I am yet to finally give you reply on the last message you sent me. Be patient please!

omoleyeib:
Please doctor in the house. My wife pregnancy av reach 40wks and 12days today. She saw show since Sunday but no contractions till yesterday night when it started and we need to rush to hospital where she registered but after an hour the contractions stop. The doctor suggested argumentation for her. Please is there any repercussions for this aurgumeting OR what can uyou give me plz.

Since she is >37wks and by agreement from you/wife and the doctor with respect to the situation on ground,by management saw it needful to induce a forceful muscle work of your wife's womb. Don't worry about its repercussion, the chance that your baby and wife will suffer from this induction in the long run is poor. If at all there should, it is short and bearable body fluid accumulation both in the child and mother, in a short while both will be fine.

All that is necessary now is to give the doctor a confidential go-ahead and your wife a standby stamina enforcer.

Congrats!

Deriches:
No other symptoms.
Pls help a brother

You have no problem. Keep your attention from it, it will self-limit. Some percentage of males experience urine-semen infiltrate in their urine. This is no problem. However, for your fears you can have urine m/c/s for a bacteria load for which am sure may come less disturbing.

umt13:
Nothing to hide Doctor, that's what my mind told me..... Bt not exposed to any sex, always using protection....... Is just that i lose appetite and i don't know if Hypochondria can be d cause of my loss of appetite?

You are dealing with a self-imposed psyche malady that has no tolerance to mind stability. Almost all organic health conditions run with poor or no appetite as well as some psychogenic disturbance-anxiety being a part.
The anxiety that comes with hypochondriac is self-compulsive and impository modifiable. This means, whatever now you suffer of is a thing of your own measure and psyche. The embodiment of your worries is the loss of appetite which is certainly not a core definition of what you think you are or suspicious about. So, I should be interested to know other signs and symptoms that should make want to believe I have a certain problem. Once again, i may still find it troubling because I have believe so much that I have a condition. One usually with hyponchondriac is in halves to face the truth and what to do with the truth. I should be the first to check that If actually this condition is true of my suspicion, as usual the one having hypochondriac ain't having that which he thinks. Some often don't have problem going for check but habitual checking is the obsessive disease. Now, if I were you:

1) I will choose to be Active against all odds. I will choose to
give my attention to the best enterprise my hand finds to do. Read books, hangout with friends and take at a good time for leisure.

2) Cut down the many checks on me. Now, that I have decided to maintain a busy schedule, I would indulge in less checking of my self. When I must have started less checking of my self I would ensure to keep a standard health-to-stress balance that will not frustrate this indulging of mine. I would question myself, for example; " if I have AIDs why haven't I come down with something serious more than just a loss of appetite for this months/years that I have been suspecting it? " . I would ensure that I avoid checking also sites for which I feed my fears too. No more checking for online help, it would only enrich the fear in me.

3) I wouldl appreciate myself for the life I live now. I will encourage myself that life is either I live or I die, never both. However, if I do come with AIDs in line with my suspicion I shouldn't take it with all pinch of salt that i am done with life. Rather, I would rather think out prospect on how to make me live life and be happy, and not worry my ass off all day.

4) Feed your mental being with that which is positive. Stop talking about it.

5) Seek the help of Psychologist for further relevance and assistance.

Deriches:
Pls what can i do, am confused about this.

I don't like this reply, while not answer my questions and see how it all ends.

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:
Ciprotab 500 mg
AMATEM SOFTGEL 480 MG + 80 MG
DEEP ROOT HARBAL MIXTURE

THEN KLOVINAL INSERT WITH 4CAPSULE OF FLOCUNAZOLE

Do nothing, take nothing except for the necessary ones. Ensure to make observations of yourself and watch out for kicks for the baby in utero. Should you bothered above measures, within 2-3weeks interval on your own you can ask an ultrasound done to know the state of the developing babe. Seek a doctor's advice if anything is unfit seen.

But, I am sure you will be fine and the baby too.
