formidablefunmi:
Good afternoon my sisters. Hope we all are indoors? Corona virus is not our portion in Jesus name. Please is there any drug one can take to conceive twins? Because the way its doing me I just want twins a boy and a girl.

Don't you think if there were any every woman would have had a twin or more in their family?
Most families with twin(s) is/are a matter of chance, while some is chance meeting up with genetic inheritance. However, a long standing use of ovulation inducing pills can increase your chances. Meet your doctor to discus risks and benefit. Any hope apart from this is procedural and may have lots of fortune run into it.

I used the benzyl benzonate for just three days, it was not hot as its suppose to be. I bought another one thinking it was fake but it was not Still hot. I think the itching gets worse when I take milk but have stopped it for over a month and my body still itch. the itch can be severe especially when there heat. it comes unexpected and sometimes when I press it, little pus come out from it. I also itch very well when I put on clothes. I even bought new clothes and seperated it from the old ones but I got same reaction. my dad also complaines of body itching but I Think his own isn't that severe and he has high sugar level. am currently taking ketoconazole tab and it reducing it a bit. been having this since last year December. after taking fulcin tab for sometime it stopped, but now it's back and kind of severe

I am seriously put off by the way you answered all the questions I gave you. When I give questions, answer each question as I want it. Please visit the clinic for further help.

Qasak:
Hello doctor thanks for your reply the itching has reduced , I mean I don’t itch that much again but the discharge has not . Each time I wake in the morning I always have the discharge.
Thank you

Don't be angry, kindly bear with me.
Does this discharge seems have to reduce simultaneously as did the itching?
Do you have any kind of stains on the mucous?
Do you find your faeces overly covered by mucous? or, due to mucus seepage,your faeces appeared dried?
Grade seepage. Moderate, mild or severe?
Have you observe that in any way that your food you eat or beverages you drink are factors?
Can I see the report you did on the fecal analysis of yours?

skolar49:
thanks a lot sir. Wandering if it was STD

Not a classical STD.
Also, no sex during treatment.

skolar49:
just the buttocks, its not spreading and it itch occasionally.... My girlfriend also has the same issue

Both of you should have the buttocks expose to air. Have your panties washed. Avoid scratching, if the itching is unbearable, just spank that region. Get to having your bath with Izal or Dettol in warm water.
TREATMENT PLAN:
Buy Benzoyl benzoate, apply atopic in the morning. Get also, Visita Plus. Apply atopic during the afternoon to evening. Going to bed, apply Benzoyl benzoate on the complaint region. Keep to this for 7days. Report back to me.

EXTRA: Your female friend should have the Visita plus (not Benzoyl benzoate) applied over her vulva and the region covering from her vaginal mouth to her anus.

Also, no sex during treatment.

Peakyblinder:
ok thank you sir. Sorry for the late reply. The cough started since January. I don't smoke and no allergy

Seen. Follow prescription. See the doctor if symptoms continue.

Qasak:
Good morning doctor thanks a lot for your response. I screenshot out last correspondence below. I have issues of mucus discharge.

You should have complained of anal itching if I asked your doing fecal examination for it larvae or worms.
Has the itching stopped?

Peakyblinder:
Good morning sir. Not all. Just the cough and phlegm in my throat plus the small things under my jaw line

Get Septrin and Dextrometorphan to use. These are for management. You may still have to see a physical doctor for full support.
Best for this purpose, it will be my pleasure if I should know how long this cough has been, do you smoke, any allergic condition?

skolar49:
Pls doctors in the house. I had sex raw with my girlfriend and after 3 weeks, i started experiencing rashes on my buttocks for 2 weeks now. Took pecham of late.

Just the buttocks, or you mean to say your anus?
Were you having itching before the rashes came up?
Also, does this itching seem to be spreading quickly( to other regions of the body) ?
If you are comfortable about this, you may show me the rash.

You can reach me privately through my profile signature. It is strictly under charges though. It worth it.

Qasak:
Good morning doctor I did the stool test and it said no blood , cyst trophozoite or adult parasite seen.
Also I did sperm count test it result was
Viscosity high
Color greyish - cream
Ph 7.0
Active 68%
Sluggish 15%
Dead 7%
Viable form 70%
Abnormal 30%
Semen count 41.6 * 10(6)/ mill

Culture yielded growth of staphylococcus aureus.
I am taking the sensitive drugs but I still have the mucus discharge . Please sir my question is if the discharge I am having is std related .
thank you.

Your SFA is alright. That a culture yielded S. aureus does not mean you needed treatment on it. I can't recall where I left of with you. Kindly attach our last talks here for me to be awash with memories of our conversations. Thanks.

Peakyblinder:
Good morning Doc. I went to see a doctor at the hospital like you advised. I told him my problems like the cold, phlegm and cough (dry cough) I've been having. Plus I also noticed some things under my jaw which he said was lymph nodes tho he didn't tell me what infection might have triggered it and also itching around my face most notably my mouth tho I couldn't scratch may be it was internal(it happened just once) He prescribed cefixime, coartem, vitamin b co and loratidine by havid for me and I've been taking without skipping. I woke up today with itching around my neck (I couldn't scratch) plus a lil bit of peppery sensation around my neck and private part. Idk why

Are you still having these symptoms?

Battleground:
Doc good afternoon. Hope you're doing well. Pls I am here for my sis. She did Hep B and C test 7 weeks that is exactly 50 days after an exposure and both came out non reactive. It's been more than two months now so she went to a teaching hospital and told the doctor to recommend the test for her but the doctor refused. She's a little bit worried as she wanted to do it to free her mind. When she did it 7 weeks after her exposure she was on antimalarial and antibiotics and she thinks drugs can interfere with the result. Now she's not on any drug she wants to do it again but she can't go to a private laboratory because of high cost. I am worried for her because someone here said he sometimes test negative and positive for the virus. What is your humble advice sir?

If her worries has to do with those drugs interfering with the HBV test, then she should wait some week(s) more to have a redo... Testing both reactive and non-reactive is more about the testing modulation,time test was done and error.

.

PresidentAtiku:
OK will do that on Monday

I could be tasking somehow, just don't over look it. It's still for my own good you know.

Thanks for bearing with me.

PresidentAtiku:
I took the clartem for three days. Thereafter took the p-alaxin for another three days.

Still feeling the slight symptoms. I didn't do any test. Have had mosquito bites lately and feel it is malaria. Little exercise I sweat like water was poured on me

Please have a test done for both Malaria and typhoid fever agents. When this is done, Post it.

amSteph:
No doctor. He doesn't sweat a lot. He wears light clothing during this heat period. Just singlet and shorts.

No, she doesn't have any sores. Haven't noticed any.

What do you suggest? I noticed this evening that the slight bump is developing. Its a little more raised than it was this morning. So I guess the boil is gradually developing.

Okay. This may be of help to you.
1) Your baby should have more than one towel. This will reduce the spurt of recurrence.
2) If you choose to drain the push yourself, apply methylated spirit or refined alcohol (dry gin) on a cotton and cleansed around the region of drainage to avoid spreading of the boil.
3) You may need to learn some personal hygiene like always watching your hands before doing anything with baby's body.
4) Grind onions and garlic together. Apply mixture on burst boil for some days. It helps to prevent spread of boils. This native preparation is a helpful trial for some kids. Just try!
5) Don't forget also, Medicate Powder on the face and body to dry the skin can be of help.
6) If you insist on using an antibiotic cream, you try that Visita Plus. Application should be done at most twice in a day,with 3-4days in a week.

molybdenum0012:
I started treatment on Monday and ended on Friday, yesterday. The drugs are: CIPROFLOXACIN CAPLET 500MG AND SULFADOXINE+PYRIMETHAMINE. 500/25mg.
And also got 3 injections for 3 days. The whole treatment lasted for 5 days. Prior to that, I have had nurse treated me for typhoid at home by given me drips and other treatment.

I must also say that about two weeks before I went to the hospital, I had used Cefuroxime axetil 500mg for a week and got better only for a week.
After which I felt sick again, treated by the nurse mentioned above and finally went to the hospital. .

I am sorry if I appear too tasking, but I would obliged a present lab work done again, just like the one you presented some posts away. This is for me to know if the level of your white blood cells have levelled functionally relative to both your neutrophils and lymphocytes. Thus, causing both of us to know if your Typhoid fever has improved or not. In addition to that, have the laboratory conduct a test for the malaria parasite too.

Integrator1:
Good morning Doc, thanks for the great work you are doing in here.
Male

Please Doc, I started recently noticing a discoloration on my thigh , flattened , no pain or itching .. image attached below .. please what can be the cause and solution to this ?

It is a superficial fungal infection - Tinea versicolor. It could be stubborn to let go but with patient treatment and feeling less disturbed, it will go off. Use a Clotrimazole cream for 3weeks. Whether it is still there or not after this duration,don't bother it. Maintain proper hygiene and care for yourself. It will just go off on it own.

PresidentAtiku:
it was 3/day for three days. P -Alaxin after I took the act clartem
Stopped the drugs two days ago

I don't understand... Are you in anyway writing your duration of treatment was 3day for the Clartem?
Also, was it laboratory that confirm your having the female anopheles parasite responsible for it, or you are treating by syndromic measures?

amSteph:
Hello doctor. Good afternoon.Thank you for all you do. I also have the issue of recurring boil on my now 16months old. Here's a little history in case it helps somehow. Its a long read.

I've never had any skin problems with my son since he was born aside the minor diaper rash every now and then.

I got a help when he was 6months old and shortly after her arrival, he developed a very stubborn rash around his neck that refused to leave. I thought it to be drool rash since he drooled a lot then which I attributed to teething (however he didnt get his first tooth till13month old), but it never left no matter what I tried. I also noticed a similar rash on the neck of my help and began limiting her contact with LO while also treating hers which she insisted was just heat rash. Due to some behavioural characteristics, I let go of my help after about 3months and only then did my LO's rash eventually fade out completely.

I recently got another help this January and since her arrival, I've battled with a lot of recurring skin problems with LO from mosquito-like rashes that appear in groups of 4-7 at a time to his first boil ever on the right side of his forehead. Took him to the hospital and the didn't feel bothered about the boil being that its just one and not big. He was given Erythromycin for the mosquito-like rashes which they said was skin infection and enquired about his drinking water which is the same his had since he was an infant.

I let the boil mature while applying warm compress during his baths. I gave him paracetamol on days his seemed in great discomfort and weepy. It eventually opened but didn't drain completely. On the 2nd day after first rupture, I drained it out by pressing out the pus while observing high sterile mannerisms to avoid infecting any other part of his skin. It eventually dried and healed. My joy was short-lived as a 2nd appeared on his head. I felt the slight bump while washing his hair during a bath(he has full head of hair). It later matured as well and this drained completely on its own. I didn't need to press it. Then another 2 bumps appeared(one on the left side of his head and another at the middle of his forehead) I noticed these bumps to be the beginnings of another boil. I took him to the pharmacy and he was given ampiclox at 5mls for 5daysprescription. The boils never matured but instead dried up and disappeared. This was on 16-20th march, 2020.

Yesterday, I noticed another 2 bumps; one on his forehead and another on the back of his right palm(first one outside the head region). Am just tired and frustrated of this recurrence.

PS: In February, I asked my help to try on some clothes, and I noticed the multitude of eczema on her back. I've been treating her with ketokonazole tab and cream since then but its not bulging. The pharmacist said BACK eczema are often stubborn and take a long time to treat.

What do I do about the recurring boils? Should I give him ampiclox again to dry it up now? How do I stop this recurrence? His so playful now with only 4teeth so far(2 up and 2down). He hasn't started school either, so is always home.

Thank you for your patience in reading this. I'll look out for your response.

Does this baby sweat a lot?
Do you observe if she has any sore anywhere from the hands carrying him/her when you're not around?

molybdenum0012:
Good day Doctor,

The result of my lab test is attached below, kindly look into it. Now, I have completed the treatment prescribed for malaria and typhoid. I still feel pains around the lower, left part of my stomach even as I type this. Still feel a bit unwell and dizzy.
I have not done the stomach scan yet.

Thank you again for you time.

How long were you in treatment? Can I know the drugs you have used so far on it?

PresidentAtiku:
Hi sir,

Had mild fever, weakness of the body and some joint pains as it seemed the usual malaria symptoms. I took clartem and didn't completely feel better, took another anti mal( blue in color 3tabs/day) yet still having slight fever, weakness and headache.

What can I do? Can the parasite over power these drugs?

How long were you supposed to be in treatment?

Instead of giving description of your drugs in color, I would you meet again with drug dispenser to have the name of the drug,and send to me.

How long have you stopped using the drug before presenting this complaint?

Peakyblinder:
Good evening Dr. Please can you recommend foods rich in iron or iron supplements that can help prevent iron deficiency? Thank you sir

Food rich in iron common in the market for as little as your pocket can carry are: liver, red meat, soyabean, egg, watermelon ,shrimps etc. You may use the drug store to have any homely prepared haematinics. Caution should be entertained when using these supplements to avoid any sign and symptoms coming with Iron overload.
