ok, thank you Doc, would get bk to you.

I will be waiting.

Hi doc, I had miscarriage, the pregnancy was 11 weeks plus but scan said the GA was 7weeks with no fetal pole, was actually told to come for a repeat scan 2weeks time but immediately I got back home I started having painful contractions followed by bleeding,, when I reported back at the hospital, the doc said the pregnancy is still small that everything will come out hence no need for evacuation. My question now is that (though I'm still bleeding with some tissue like substance in it) will all the products come out as said by the doc? Or is there any over the counter drug I can take to flush all out. NB... The consultant said the reason for the miscarriage is chromosomal abnormalities after checking my case not and after a VE.

As at when it may be due for him to examine you, there may be certain amount of conceptus remains. But certainly with time it will definitely fizzle out. As to ensure left overs aren't too much to cause other health problems, the consultant may require an ultrasonography or any managemental procedures to get you assured that there is minimal leftovers or none at all.
If you choose to help the process, you may want to discuss with your doctor the need of any uterine muscle stimulant to help with contraction of which Misoprostol may be handful.

Or, a careful use of Castor oil(medicinal) can induce uterine contraction. This you can get from a reliable drug dispenser. You must then be reminded that on using this oil, you may be face with the ease to use the toilet more often than necessary as a direct therapeutics.

Hello doctors in the house.. Please I found small tumors under my tongue at the base of my mouth.. Please what could be the problem.. Please I need answers..thanks

How do you know it is a tumor mass?

OtunbaBlack:
Hello doctor what treatment would you suggest to someone with entritis?..

This question is not necessary. What is necessary is to know the cause responsible for the inflammatory condition of the small intestines and then make or take treatment bearing in mind on how to stop or manage the causative factors and then alleviate symptoms. It is not in my scope here to discuss treatment modules of inflammatory condition of the small intestine, it is too large a thing to discuss.

Kindly rephrase your question.

sunnp:
Pls I sent you pm check it pls need to talk to you on phone is possible....also hope is what drug can control?

It is something drugs and lifestyle alterations can control.
For lifestyle alteration, you may simply:
1. Reduce gross intake of garri, changing it with wheat powder can be okay.
2. No excess consumption of bread. A twice slice during tea-hour is okay.
3. You may likely drop rate of poultry food consumption to a minimum.
4. No alcohol or just little.
5. Avoid exertion, though little walk can be helpful.
6. Eat fish more than meat, chicken little.
7. Enjoy vegetable consumption.

Drugs: See your doctor for that. He may choose to give anhypertensives with a spectrum over angina pectoris.

I prefer you WhatsApp. I will reply as soon as I have little space to rest or better still, evening period.
For PMs, I hardly reply. Apology.

You may kindly remove your pics if you so please..

You really need to make an appointment with your doctor on how to manage this early Stable Angina pectoris problem. It is likely that your heart is not having proper blood supply. This is the reason may be you are having a chest pain and some of the pain referred to your left arm and neck region.
Except other symptoms such as weakness of the leg and throat dryness and insomnia are mere side-effects of the medications you are in, there are tendency that the cause leading to the Stable Angina pectoris may be responsible for it. This is likely a resultant of either poorly managing your high blood pressure or riskfactors linking to it.
Here, I will advice you:
1. Seek a physical doctor helps on how to manage your high blood pressure.
2. Have a complete screening of your blood lipids and cholesterol.
3. Have a complete screening of your blood sugar.
4. Have an ECG of your heart electric function (may/mayn't be necessary)
5. Blood work on your platelets count.

N/B: I could not see your medications from the pics posted. You may call your doctor to what he gave you, or find the prescription paper given you.

i have this same pain,15years ago,but stopped. not until last year September when it reoccur then i went to the hospital and the doctor said i have ulcer,gave me some drugs and it stopped but it reoccur in February,went back to the hospital,and the doctor on duty said it is an ulcer,i even demanded to do a test but he said no,that he is sure is an ulcer.gave me some drugs but the problem is that i am still having the pains even in my stomach

30s though early is a riskfactor to backache(upper). If your doctor's assumption is right, the pain felt at your arms could be term referred. This may be coming from refluxes of stomach content reaching the outer layer of the heart or even the proof dividing the lung region from the abdomen. Do you belch alot? Do you experience a slight or increase bitterness of the mouth when you get up from sleep in the morning?
These are mine differentials :
1. Peptic Ulcer disease.
2. GERD
3.Gall bladder related conditions
4. Duodenal ulcer.

i would advise you do an abdominal/Chest ultrasound of the abdominal content. Since you are pressed on trying a test to know if this is coming from peptic ulcer disease, you may a home Urea breath test or in the lab.
Continue on the treatment plan on the peptic ulcer disease. I rather would wished you use Amoxicillin + Omeprazole + Clarithromycin( follow prescription). This treatment should last 2-3weeks. NSAIDs though allowed should be use courteously.

You may do the following to improve symptoms :

1. No more late night meals
2. Less intake of tomatoes sauce food.
3. Reduce use of NSAIDs
4. Stay some hours before going to bed after every meal.
5. Continue to massage area of complaint
6. Sleep on your side and not on your tommy
7. Avoid standing or sitting down for long hours.

Harni:

1. Nature of pain: is it mild, severe or moderate?

3. Does this pain increase or subside when you move body to different side on sleeping?

Doctor in the house...I have been battling eczema since I was young...I noticed the reason was probably soap, water. Recently I started changing and washing my bedsheets and towel and cover clothes every week...and I used fulcin for the recent outbreak even though it ddnt dry up fully. Now I travelled back hhome and the following day I saw another outbreak on my face...like so many ....please what can use as a permanent solution.. I can't go out looking like something else ...I v started using sivoderm

You may do the following to stop the recurrence of your eczema:

1. Continue to use the Sivoderm, it will help moisturize the skin and prevent further irritation leading to itching.

2. You may apply coconut oil on your skin. Make the coconut oil from the fruit yourself. This oil will reduce or even dull the coloration of the eczema and apart from that coconut oil helps prevent several skin irritable problems. You may prefer using the coconut oil cream only. It smells cool and relaxes the skin.

3. Expose your skin to light.

4. Use simple soaps with dettol in your water to bath.

5. In addition to the Griseofulvin(fulcin) being used by you, you may add to it clindamycin 150mg.

6. Vitamin A and biotin can helpful though but not necessary.

Let me know how you have done so well in a months time. If no improvement then a Corticosteroid cream may be applicable.

I had a wound that got infected and the infection entered the blood. I did a lot of labs. They said it is c.diff. I took a lot of antibiotics for the infection especially augmentin. I just started on loperamide; it was initially vancomycin, and I have no idea about its sensitivities.

What's the frequency of stooling today?! Any improvement?
Can I know where you had the wound? Is it healing?
Can I see the labs you done so far on this problem?

logan2:
hello docs, i usually dont take drugs except for minor fever,im in my early 20s , my overall health is declining,from one small health issue to another,before now , i usually go a year without any sickness, but right now ive been coughing for 3months straight,i feel weak , and i have become tin,lost alot of biceps , cant seem to get them back after my usual work out, usually anytime i feel light i do intense work out for 1week to feel heavy,and i always have something to show for it. but now i dont seem to get any bigger,cloths i find hard to put on in 2014 are now slightly oversized in 2019, my fingers used to be sparkling,but now they are whitish,my skin is normal,hair too normal, recently i had this consistent custipation , i took the usual steps to curb it by taking liquid food and fibre rich foods all to no avail, right now there is massive pain in my anus , i guess i might have injured my sphincter,my stool is hard ,slightly black and bloody.... what could be wrong with me.... why the sudden change, i used to be the strongest in my household,but now,i feel so vulnerable ...


pls pardon my english

What have you done so far and why haven't you seen a doctor for such a presenting complaint?

Tyleet:
I had an infection in my blood so I was placed on antibiotics for two weeks. The infection got all cleared up, but I began to react to the antibiotics in the form of consistent diarrhea. After a stool sample lab evaluation, I tested positive to c-diff. I have tried flaggyl, loperamide capsules, and vancomycin for the c-diff, but none has worked. Please, is there something else I should use to get rid of the diarrhea? Apart from the frequent stooling, the only symptom that comes with my diarrhea is fever. The diarrhea has lasted for 12 days now.

Do you mean Clostridium difficile for your C. diff?
What was responsible for the toxaemia(blood poisoning) or infection if at all you did labs on it?
Also, those medications you took for the proposed causative agent for your stooling were they written sensitivities apart from Loperamide?

dvalllis:

ranmoor:
Thanks Doc, the eyes is ok abt 2 days after I use the onions , no more irritation... I stopped the antibiotics because I completed the 5 days dose.

uh um!
Just be careful next time. You never could tell how worse it can be relying on that onion therapy.
This is how most simple problems turn out severe and complicated.

DoorMan:
My wife didn't see her period. Please whats the best abortion plan? Its urgent cos we on family planning.

But you could have had this abortion-inducing drug from the doctor that had you guys on the family planning. He should understand you better.

ranmoor:
Dear Dr,
It started abt 2wks ago, I woke up with one red eyes n little pus. I just put onions n it cleared as the day went on. 2 days later, I have stuffy nose n I use procold. Later I was waking up with cough due to dryness of the throat in mid night , headache joined n little fever. I just some malaria drugs but the cough n dryness continued. The pharmacist advice I should take antibiotics Ciprotab.. after abt 2-3 days I have sore throat. I use cough syrup, n d cough stopped.
Presently I have terrible sore throat, dull headache whenever I stress myself and I keep waking in the mid night due to dryness of the throat. I checked my mouth i saw some little white stuff at the back of my mouth, though it seems getting better since I stopped the antibiotics (i actually completed the 5 days)
I don't feel the pain while eating. I don't have fever. Major issue is the dryness of the throat and the sore throat

You did not mention how your eyes has improved.
How is it now?
You could have fine if you had delayed on stopping the antibiotics. But at this time, I will prefer on you using Amoxicillin than Ciprofloxacin. This treatment should last another 4days.
During this period simultaneously, you may do the following to alleviate discomfort:

1. Gargle the mouth with salt water mixture and let it out, morning and in the evening.
2. For the now stay off dried food.
3.Drink pepper soup cooked with those native spices.
4. Put off activities that can worsened your throat conditions, for example blowing the trumpet...
5.A warm tea can be helpful.
6. Vitamin B2 and C can be helpful.

Should no improvement after this present medication, kindly see your doctor.

Adamna:
Please oh . I have paronychia and it hurts like hell. It gives me a maddening throbbing pain. it's hot and I think there's pus in it. What do I do? I've tried warm water soaking , no way. Someone suggested I go to a chemist and get an injection that will dry it up. My mom is suggesting I soak it inside kerosene. Please doctors help me. I have test on Wednesday and I can barely write well ��

Go to a drugstore ask them to help you with Clindamycin(150mg) and take down with two tabs of paracetamol. Or, you may decide to use Visita Plus ointment separately or in addition to the former. If you choose to rub the ointment or paste then it be done some hours before the use of the Clindamycin.
Treatment should take 3-4days. If no improvement, then the whitlow could have fungal origin and an antifungal may have to be prescribed. Warm press application should always be done before applying the ointment.

Hope you are not pregnant? Are you diabetic ? Age?

pantherapardus:
Atenolol and Amlodipine

Okay. Except your LAD is followed by other systemic symptoms you really need not have to worry about it just as your doctor said. I supposed you never knew you had a LAD until you went for complaint of awareness to your heartbeat or something else. Though prescription aim is to fall blood pressure the Atenolol will do alot to control sinus rhythm in other way as beta-adrenegic blocker.

That this medication can offer a correction to LAD is not what I can tell. However, you can ask on an appointment with your doctor.

pantherapardus:
My doctor asked me to keep using my medications. He said I should not be worried. I am worried, I just need to hear from another medical personnel.

Can I know those medications prescribed to you?
Can I know if you are obese, or let me have your weight in Kg and height in metre?

pantherapardus:
High blood pressure I guess, because that's what we've been treating. It's been normal for some days now. But I still feel heaviness around the left part of my chest.

You guess? Have you seen a Cardiologist?
For any LAD problem kindly see a Cardiologist for help...

pantherapardus:
Can Sinus Rhythm Left Axis Deviation be corrected and how? BP was high, but has been back to normal for up to 4 days. Will maintaining a normal blood pressure for a long time correct it?

What was diagnosed to be the cause of your LAD by the Cardiologist?

Bograd83:
hello everyone, please I don't know if am pregnant again. I tested positive on 9 of this month but later saw Pernod-like on 24/03 2 wks after and I should be around 6 wks preg by then . the bleeding is 3 days not heavy.

Just a phone call to the doctor managing your pregnancy concerning this issue can put your worry to rest. And I think he should be made aware of this bleeding.
From here we can't tell if you are still pregnant or not. However, if the bleeding is petty small and stopped in time there are chances that you are still pregnant. You may need to observe yourself for loss of signs and symptoms of pregnancy too. Within this time, a doctor's check may be necessary for vital routines to confirm if your pregnancy is still intact.

ejemamaka:
what could be the cause of missing period for three to four month when the person is not pregnant

The common causes to missing period or menstrual irregulation for over 4 cycles or more could be:
1. PID
2. Adenomyosis
3. Abnormal ovarian cyst.
4. Fibroid (not in all cases)
5.. Tubal blockage( hydrosalpinx, pyosalpinx or even hemosalpinx)
6. Uterine adhesion
7. PCOS
8. Hormonal imbalance
9. Hyperprolactinaemia
10. Anorexia and stress.
11. Common thyroid problems, diabetes mellitus, hypertension etc

To seek treatment,make an appointment with a doctor and get to discuss with him why you haven't seen your period for these 4 cycles. A pelvic exam may be done, he may also require a swabbing of your endocervix for PID and then ultrasound of the pelvic. The need for hormone profiling of your reproductive hormones to know if there could be any gross imbalance in their distribution responsible for the loss in observing your cycle within those months.

Treatment depends on diagnosis.
