femijeffadeyemi: Can jaundice liver disease be heal totaly? Is it transferable thru intercourse? Is it safe for someone to marry a lady with ds infection? What is its medicati Yes, it can either heal totally, or persists with or without symptoms or progresses to liver cancer. But it depends on the cause. Those that are surgically remediable are called "surgical jaundice". In our environment, jaundice is mostly caused by hepatitis B or C infection. You and your spouse should be screened for hepatitis B & C. If you are negative, then you are advised to be immunized against hepatitis B. Ofcourse you can go ahead and marry the lady. But you must avoid unprotected sexual intercourse with her till the cause of her jaundice is properly identified and treated. Yes, hepatitis B and C are sexually transmitted diseases. They are transmitted through the same route as HIV. 2 Likes |

Stevecares: Hello doctor. Am responding quite well on Hypertensive and palpitation medication(for two weeks now). My high blood pressure and bounding heart beat is gradually coming down. But often i have headache, change in vision sometimes, dizziness and weakness, stuffy nose(right nostril), cough sensation, feeling of tight or blocked sensation in my throat sometimes. Have complained about these to the doctor, but no satisfactory reply(a public hospital). I feel so helpless Alright! I'm so happy for you that you are responding to medications. The symptoms which you complained of might be the side effects of your medications. I suggest that you table those complaints to your doctor. He may either reduce the dosages of the drugs or change the drugs. All the best. |

iceberg54: Hi doc, Pls i need ur help. I felt sick about 3months back. Symptoms were severe headache, feverish feeling, general weakness etc. I felt it was malaria so i took an antimalaria drug. 1 or 2 wks after that, it resurfaced so i went to do medical test(MP and Widal). MP was negative Widal was positive(Significant titre). So the doctor prescribed Augmentin. I used it and felt better. About a month ago, the same symptoms resurfaced. Went to do test. MP was negative, Widal was still positive but the doctor said it wasnt too significant. I was asked to take CIPROTAB which i did. 2wks ago, felt the same symptoms again. Went back to do the doctor. Was asked to do MP, Widal and Blood Culture or sensitivity(cant remember the exact name). MP was +1, widal was negative but i had to wait for 7days for the blood culture result. Doctor asked me to take an anti malaria pending the release of the other result. I took an antimalaria, felt okay for some days but symptoms resurfaced again last week thursday or fri. Blood culture result came out and this was the result "Gram positive cocci culture yielded growth of staph aureus after 2hrs of incubation at 37 degrees centigrade. resistant to augmentine. sensitive to gentamicin, offloxacin, levastat, cyprosan" I suggest that you visit any teaching hospital near you for an expert management. |

ik_moore2: Hello, Maintain a proper mouth hygiene. Brush your teeth and tongue after each meal. Drink a lot of water(atleast 3litres per day). I don't have in mind any STD which can cause offensive mouth odour to the extent that you complained about it. |

Hello Doctors in the house. I need your advice and recommendations on my eye problem. I have a very good eye sight but the same eye sight is troubled by what I have been told is Conjuctivitis since I was born. I have learnt over time that it is not the infectious type as me and my dad are the only persons who have had it in our family. I think I inherited it from my dad. Those who make contact with the tears from my eyes never get infected with the eye problem. I also observe that it is during rainy and moist weather that the eye problem troubles me; the symptoms that characterise it, such as itching, redness, tear secretion and swelling normally disappear or subside without treatment during dry seasons. Right now as we are having rains, my eyes are in trouble again. I need to add that over the years I have been attended to by many medical personnel, who only recommend eye drops for me, such as Visine, Chloramphenicol, Spersalleg, Ivisine, etc. I don't use glasses because my sight/vision is excellent, despite my eye irritation. I have passed ALL eye tests in the past. In short I have used the majority of eye drops sold in pharmacies/chemists but they only give relief. Please what I am now looking for is a CURE, and I would like doctors in the house to talk to me on this. I am optimistic that this problem has a cure. I will be glad if I find it. Thank you. |

Please doc, i need a urgent reply. I took pharmafit Ginseng soft capsule(korea) just a capsule for the first time together with emzor paracetamol on going to bed at night. I was awaken in the middle of the night by body itching, culdn't fall asleep again, and feeling soft stomach, discomfort like worm and d urge 2 use d toilet. Could this discomfort possibly be a adverse reaction of the drug? or caused by other thing (like that very day before night i had a RVS test just 2 knw my status. Could the other cause be from the needle used for the test?). But d result showed negative. But am stil worried cos d itch has last up to 6days now. Thanks! |
