Hi Doctor,

I recently started developing some eruptions on my skin. Some are big and painful like boils, some are pimple- like, painful sometimes itchy, with pus that bursts and dries and leave spots.

I have used anti-biotics, anti bacterial creams, ointments and more. I am presently taking local herbs made for me.

They keep coming out. On my neck, arms, laps, legs, back and tummy.

I dunno what else to do.

Have you sought a doctor's help on this?
What did he say?
When has this problem been?
Let me have full view of places of complaint?

Braaad:
Hmmmmm....all the grammar is leaving me more confused.
However, what's your thoughts on "cellguivity"
...just hope I got the spelling right.

Read again and please use your phone dictionary to get meaning to terms use.
For the later, I have no idea.

omonighoblessing:
I have had my two babies with cs and am trying for my third baby now. Can you suggest anything I can take to boost my chances of conceiving with twin boys ..I would really appreciate because you will be saving a life here

... Wetin u dey ask for so, you sure sey e no dey God hand so?

Braaad:
I think so, cos after taking antibiotics, one may likely have an outbreak of infections especially yeast infection due to the body's inability to defend itself at the moment.

You're right, except that this largely doesn't mean an immunodeficiency (state).
Humans are normal nidus to various microorganisms. Most of these microorganisms are probiotic and helpful in their parasitism, these organisms also add to the inate immune system of the body too. For example, microorganisms such as Lactobacilli species of the vaginal microbiota sustains the vaginal pH chemistry, Staphylococcus aureus in the skin prevent other organisms from intruding deeper, others essential for vitamin synthesis in the lower gut etc.
Prolong use of antibiotics can reduce the activities of these responsible bacteria leading to extrusive growth of infectious organisms that could cause infections(a disease state). This doesn't mean the immunity was down,it is just like a long-term use of NSAIDs and are you not expecting to be prone to peptic ulcer disease?
When you stop using the antibiotics the infections may resolve again if the opportunistic condition hasn't gone deep. But if it has, you have to treat as required and put a hold to the antibiotics use.

This case is different to one being in long term use of antibiotics because you have a serious health condition either with the spleen or bone marrow or liver or kidney. These are group of conditions fit for any doctor to prescribe drugs to boost immunogenic cells to help keep the body from deterioration.

Do you understand me?

did u take a look at d title of dis thread, he disagreed with someone on this thread publicly on d use of dat drug, don't u think he should publicly n correctly educate us on d use of dat drug so everyone can all benefit

The unsavoury demand for weight gain by using Apetamin is wrong though can be use to promote appetite on person's finding it hard to have a feel to eat food. This makes it handful to manage malnutrition from Cachexia to kwashiorkor or marasmus.
It is an anti-histamine. This means it should be prescribe only to patient having problems with histaminic allergy like hives, rhinorrhea/rhinitis, conjunctivitis and others.
By effect, it can cause frequency in dizziness and sleepiness and others. It does not in anyway cause a flesh fattening or butt largeness.
This is why most people uses it for weight gain:
1. It increase your appetite threshold in the hypothalamus.
2. After that it causes you to sleep or weakens your metabolic processes, some person through this can suffer constipation.
3.When you sleep you less consume energy, your stress hormone relaxes and your growth hormone increase making way for growth.

These are side effects (helpful though) yet it is not too quick to prescribe it to anyone on a request to wanting an increase in body size, why:
1. You don't need Apetamin to cause you to sleep. For one to grow and increase in body size he or she needs good sleep. If you can't practice a good sleeping habit, then it is your fault not Apetamin.
2.You don't neee Apetamin to heighten your appetite if you are healthy. Eating fruit, being active, good morning exercise and a nice sleep after can boost your appetite. Except you have problem with having appetite to eat, Apetamin is no room to do just that. Seek helpful means to know the cause to your fall in appetite and attend to that problem.

Braaad:
Pls doc, what supplement can be used to boost immune system after prolonged taking of antibiotics.

Thanks in advance

To you, do you think prolong use of antibiotics cause a fall in the body immunity?

gassbee:
pls can u tel us d main use of Apetamin

Don't you think you can make this little research yourself?

sharaff6:
Am loosing weigth after recovering from malaria. Pls Doc is there is there any test i can go for to know what is happing with me. Also feeling some pains in my mouth . Thanks

Lapses in weight gain is normal during a malarial illness and into some days-weeks into recuperation. This depends on many factors which is not in scope by me to cover.
How long did you suffer this malaria fever?
How long have you been recovering from this sickness?
What kind of mouth pain?
Swollen gums?
Soreness?
Swollen jaw?
Pains passing food down the gullet?
Soreness of the tongue?
What?

Eclement.

I hope she is alright and the pregnancy is alive and kicking. But with no yolk sac in view at the 5th week is a slow motion to conception exit. Or, there was not implantation at all which is a principal mechanism of Levornogestrel containing contraceptives as orchestrated by Postinor.
Hope for the best and be around your woman as much as you can.

Chilead.
That part of your excessive yawning escaped me. When you get this mention me, so I can ask some few question. Apology I bother you once again after those plenty JAMB questions (laughs!).

jamesbridget13:
thank you doctor. Your response has gladen my heart because fear don dey catch me incase u say otherwise. Bless u sir. So grateful

You are welcome.

royaltown:
yes, started my period already.

CD5 of your cycle falls under the Follicular phase.
What to expect in early days into your cycle:
1. LH should be normally low
2. FSH should be expectedly low cause it just 5days into the cycle.
3. Progesterone should be expectedly low.
5. Estradiol should also be expected low but increases to its peak 1-2days to ovulation.

Your profiling followed as expected.
Yet, this profiling is not promising enough to implicate anything, why?
1. Using one single cycle day may not show the significance of almost all the hormones.
2. If you chose to run more than one hormone then more than one cycle days should be applicable. For example, you choose to run FSH, Estradiol at CD3-5 and then LH/progesterone at CD 21.
3. If you desire to do as you present before us now, this result only become useful when more tracking is done in same cycle. After this CD5,you do another tracking midway into your cycle and lastly a third one at the 21th day. You will be presenting 3 sheets and not one as you did here.

Prolactin is okay, your nipple discharge after a hard press on your breast is normal. Anyone likely pregnant before may suffer that fate.
As touching your LH/FSH ratio, it is 1:2. A moderate LH that does not show PCOS.

Eclement:
Hello Good afternoon. There is a bit of confusion that besiege me as I type.

Here is the summary of my wife's story

She began to feel some symptoms like nausea,fatigue and something that resembles implantation bleeding. We ran to the hospital to test and her blood tested positive. We came home but her urine tested negative.

Since blood gives a more legit information about hCG, we weren't perturbed about her urine.

But to our surprise, she had her menstrual period the next cycle, that is about 2 weeks time. We rushed back to the hospital to complain. The doctor did an ultrasound scan, but nothing was found. Not even the embryo sac. He asked us to come back after two weeks for another scan, since it might be an early pregnancy.

We rushed back to the hospital when it was about 5weeks, blood still testing positive, urine testing negative, and the scan couldn't pick anything up. I also need to say that she hasn't missed any menstrual period.

What could be likely for all of these?? Please help. The suspense is killing me

.

How old is the pregnancy?
I am suspecting this is a case of Blighted Ovum or any other chromosomal anomaly that comes during an ovum activation.

jamesbridget13:
Good evening doctor
To d glory of God, d boil has burst on its own today. The pain doctor can only be imagined.

But pls doctor i have a question. A mum assisted me in pressing d boil n lots of pus/blood was removed but d place is still swollen, my question now is can i just leave it to be coming out by itself gradually while i continue to take d ampiclox d doctor prescribed or must i press everything out myself? D pain i passed through when dat woman was pressing d boil hmmm!

Dooh! Doooh!!

Don't worry about draining it, it will drain out itself.
Remain on the ampiclox;you can apply a warm compress to fasten healing.

If you say no to all these I don't think you have problem with excess salivation but problem with decrease clearance of saliva. This is usually common with those having inflammation with the Waldeyer's ring at the back of the oral groove- tonsillitis.
However, I am not suspecting a nerve failure anywhere though you have problem making speech it may have resulted due to the excess salivation but if it is not, then a doctor still needs to check up and examine the nerves that control the muscles of the tongue and essential for salivation reflex.
Besides, please see a doctor to carry out special check on your mouth and to the laboratory to have a check on your WBC. For the sake of the metallic taste, you also need to have a check up for excess copper in the blood.
For the now:
1.Reduce your intake of starch especially before going to bed.
2. Use good toothpaste and a mouthwash.
3. Eat pepper fruit( I don't know the common name but it's a small seed fruit)
4. Keep away from welding environment that could expose you to metallic fumes.
5. Have a regular use of Vitamin B3.
6. Some antibiotics may be of help in cases of infection but first check your WBC.
7. Drug such as Amitriptyline can be helpful . Meet doctor for prescription.

Let me be well cleared, you meant all the reproductive hormones were done at your CD 5?

Chileads:
Yea

Are you the one affected?
Do you suffer drooling sometimes?
Do you have problem moving food from the corner of the mouth to the central oral cavity?
Do you have problem with facial expression?
Do you forget things easily and perhaps have a scratchy skin and then mouth sores either in the mouth or corner of it?
Does problem of yours started with dryness of the mouth before now?
Do you have problem making speech?
Do you find it difficult to roll your masticated meal in your mouth?
Do you vomit frequently or have a feel to?
Have you once suffered peptic ulcer disease and was it well treated?
Do you observe an early bitterness of your mouth in the morning?
Any case of constipation?
Do you use any medication, can I know medications you have so far been on since this started or before it started?

Please give answer to all questions.

Chileads:
Mouth that produces excessive saliva and excessive yawning even when you had enough sleep. Have been happening since 2016

This is a case of Sialorrhea.
Am I permitted to ask some questions?

royaltown:
Please kindly help interprete these results, thanks.

What cycle day was each hormone profiled?
-FSH
-LH
-Estradiol
-Progesterone.

.. and your cycle days.

Or, were they profiled using the normal days used?

tpapi:
d résult showed à sperm count of 14million, can pregnancy be achieved with dat count

The semen quality is supercrazy and great.
Presented with a semen analysis sheet, quickly run through all the other parameters leaving aside count. If the other parameters entered as expected then the count will definitely legit. That's the secret.

Chileads:
Sir, can you provide solution or answers to patient with question on throat and mouth related problem?

Post it. I don't know all... Just post, any with sufficient knowledge and experience can still be of help to you.

jamesbridget13:

JedidahGold:

You're welcome.

@successfulhadi22.
Please mail me with kog315@yahoo.com. I can't figure how to read PM from Nairaland.

bossto:
According to her,the discharge smells offensively!

Simple! To the lab, she needs to have her vagina swabbed to know the cause of the offensive vaginal exudation.
Treatment is usually by sensitivity. Please no self-medication.

Bossto

It is normal to have whitish discharges (leukorrhea) passing through the vagina in an adult female. This is essential to keep the vaginal system working well. Just like a mouth with no saliva becomes pathetic so does a vagina without those discharges. Copiousness of flow depends on intervals within her cycle, as she is most likely to see more of this discharges as she nears ovulation and dries off frequently during her safe days.
A health discharge change characteristics within cycle too. Whatever, a normal discharge( whitish or yellowish in some) should be well off without an offensive odor and less cheese-like.
But if it the opposite and comes with other complaint such as itching, soreness of the Instruments and others, she is candidly advised to seek help a doctor's help to diagnose a cause to the abnormal. This may cover a laboratory swab of her vagina/cervix leading to knowing the cause for which a medication sensitive to it will be prescribe.

ennydammy11:
my eyes always turn red and tears do flow out whenever I am reading on my smartphone. What can I do or use to prevent it?

Please, use the thread that is concern with eye problems to seek help. I can't really put out something to this. I wish I could help.

jamesbridget13:
Doctors oooo. Pls help me o. This pain is much. I am having a very gigantic boil on my outer vj which has also put pressure on d left part of my vj. As i am talking to u d pain though bearable is something else. I can hardly walk nor sit. Coupled with d fact that i am 8months pregnant. Doctor pls help me.

Management :
1. No shaving of the Instruments for the now.
2. Allow aeration of the pubic zone
3. Application of warm compressor on the side of complaint and the boil.
4. Native method: Mix rub and potash( ekanwu) together. Apply mixture on the boil, it will sooth the pain over and cause it to ripe. Both in the morning and afternoon.
5) In the evening after using your bath, apply a Visita Plus cream once.
6) Follow as directed for 2-3 days.
7) Perform lanceting with a clean hand, a wool to clean up and during period of healing use a sitz bathing, or take a warm bath.

I will be participating in an athletic event and d organizers wants me to bring a medical result showing that i'm physically fit.. Which test should i go 4 and how much will it cost me?

This question should be given to the organizers and they will pass a list of tests you should run in for to ascertain if you fit for the event. Doing it on your own count to random doing and money wasting in trying to cover so much for relevance.
If you choose to do it randomly, the above test can prove your fit:
1) Blood sugar test
2) Blood cholesterol
3) Know your blood pressure.
4) thyroid function test
5) Urinalysis.
6)others

Consult an Exercise physiologist for further briefing.

JedidahGold:
This is my first time having this kind of pain. And according to menstrual calender, I have few days to my menstrual period. I am not nursing a child at the moment. I am also not pregnant because i have not had sexual contact for a while now. There is no colour changes or nipple discharge. Though the I am no longer feeling the pain in my breast and shoulder region, I am now feeling it at the back. I used paracetamol last night and this night too.

It is a normal pain. Pain should subside after observing your cyclic flow, hopefully.
Kindly, allow a free rest and movement of the breast. Use a nursing bra preferably when going out or bras with extra support, not too tight as usual . Reduce (caffeinated) tea of any kind to avoid pains from fibrocystic changes. Low fat diet during breast pain is welcome. Using a cold compressor on the spot extra to the breast having this is okay too. The PCM used by you is an appropriate management, continue it use during this duress to alleviate symptom.
