That's is the common cold you have.

There's been a nasty cold going round these days. It's not malaria and typhoid.

Its a Covid variant. Some come with sore throat

Dafresh:
I'm only have cough, some times if cough hard I will be sweating seriously when I'm coughing I will feel Iike vomiting but last night I vomited. I blew my nose alot so my nose ridge will be paining me

I requested some investigations earlier. Add gene xpert and or serum AFB. Also ESR and FBC would be neat

DrAda:
Still blood culture for me

Lol. Do you think McConkey or cooked meat media can culture Salmonella? They won't! You'll just waste your time and your patient's money.
The best bet is culture with agar etc which picks up Salmonella

medikend:
In normal countries, widal test is no longer used to diagnose typhoid fever. Blood, urine and stool cultures are preferred depending on the timing.

However, in developing countries like ours, a single widal test is of no use. Serial widal test ( more than 1) are done and compared to see the trend of the titre, suggesting typhoid infection.

Finally, it should be stated that other factors may affect the titre level aside salmonella.

Even serial Widal isn't feasible. You cant be watching a patient having symptoms and waiting for a serial Widal to make a diagnosis. Better do a therapeutic trial if you can't do the salmonella culture

Dafresh:
I had fever then I took drugs for Malaria as usual but I got better after a week started having cough and catarrh sometimes I can cough till I will be week I cough from 10 am to 11 and I will get better in the night I don't cough at all I sleep well but once I catch cold or stay on the fan I will start coughing I have don HIV test 7 times and all are negative

You could have a lobar pneumonia. Do a sputum MCS and chest xray

drimzsmoke:
We do stool culture over here, na the only thing wey the HMO people dey approve

Yup. Stool or urine(if the lab is choosy)
Blood culture media isn't specific for salmonella typhi or paratyphi

DrAda:
Blood culture

Nah. Its not blood culture which isn't specific enough. You request for Salmonella culture of urine or stool

DrAda:
Do health care providers still order for widal test?

I doubt if that doc ordered for it. Dude probably went to a roadside and told them his symptoms and they ran those tests for him. Or he requested for them himself

Mammangaddafi:
Labs still do Widal test?

Exactly what I was saying. A very useless tests but the roadside labs continue to run it cos Nigerians always request for it. So they exploit their ignorance.
Hospital labs don't run it

Oladimeji13:
Yes gastric ulcer causes blocked nose,dizziness and feeling feverish acid reflux causes cough u can go for ulcer test

No, it doesn't. If he has cough and catarrh only, its probably an URTI. Antibiotics like cefuroxime or amoxyclav would suffice

Dafresh:
I used to open my fridge in my shop to receive air without knowing I was harming my self it started with malaria I treated it then I started having cough. The only thing disturbing me now is cough
Can ulcer cause cough and catarrh

Nope

Dafresh:
Yesterday I want to general hospital to see a doctor, he recommended that I should run for test, because it was general hospital so I decided to go and do the test in private laboratory, the test lasted for an hour but going back to see the doctor, the hospital have closed, today being Tuesday I want to see the doctor but the nurses said he doesn't come on Tuesday and I'm seriously sick, doctors in the house please help me. Here is the test result

You didn't state your symptoms, so we can't help you, unfortunately. However, this result doesn't tell any story to a physician. Widal test of 1/80 titer won't bother you, besides that test (Widal) is quite redundant these days because of cross reactions of the reagent with other antigens. If a doctor suspects you of having typhoid, he either commences therapeutic trial or send you for stool or urine salmonella culture. The only labs that still run that test is the roadside labs cos they know the average Nigerian would always patronize them for it, meanwhile the test is as useful as money is to a dead man.

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ God has never spoken to unbelievers about how his worshipers should be called nah!

It's from the mouth of His worshipers that you should find out what they're to be called not the other way around.

So Joseph Rutherford pronounced it but it's JEHOVAH that put it in his mouth that's why only this group has been able to achieve what God promised regarding His worshipers in the last days! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

Same way 'Jehovah' gave Kumuyi, Adekoya etc the inspiration to name their churches. You claim the same shit every 'churchgoer' says, all without a shred of evidence

MaxInDHouse:
Funny churchgoer!

Russell who never knew about the name of our group is the founder shey?

Kumuyi founded Deeperlife, Akindayomi founded RCCG, Oyedepo founded Winners Chapel, Olukoya founded MFM, Oyakilome founded Christ Embassy, TB Joshua founded Synagogue, Babalola founded C.A.C., Oshoffa founded Cele, Orimolade founded Cherubim and Seraphim, Mouka founded Lord chosen.
All these founders named their foundation but in the case of Charles Taze Russell he didn't even know about the name Jehovah's Witnesses.
So can he be the founder?

Actually, you're wrong.
A dude named Rutherford took over from Taze after years of a 'bloody civil war' and named it.
At a convention at Columbus, Ohio on July 26, 1931, Rutherford made a psychological break with the large number of disaffected Bible Students by proposing the adoption of the name Jehovah's witnesses, based on the scripture at Isaiah 43:10, "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord"
So you see, your organization was founded and named by a human, unlike your claim

MaxInDHouse:
What has this got to do with the fact that the man he's referring to is not the founder of our group?

Ọmọ sincerity is required to solve this matter not just trying to be biased simply because we are saying what our founder said in the first century {John 14:6} which led all Jewish sects back then to hate him and his disciples! John 17:14

We are the one and only true Christian group as FOUNDED by Jesus who is called CHRIST.

That's what your friend is trying really hard to dodge by raising irrelevant questions about a 19th century man (Charles Taze Russell) who isn't the founder of our group!

Ok. I found this online.

Jehovah's Witnesses started in 1870 when Charles Taze Russell led Bible studies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Jehovah's Witnesses movement came out of the Bible Student movement, also founded by Russell. When he started to dispute some traditional Christian views, the Jehovah's Witnesses were born.
Now if you claim, your group was founded by Jesus Christ, can we have proof to that effect?
Hope you know many denominations claim their groups were founded by the same Jesus Christ dude, yet they haven't provided any evidence to that effect.
Now if you declare he founded yours, then we need evidence since he was rumored to have died centuries ago

MaxInDHouse:
He is deceiving himself, that's why i ignored him.
First of all he needs to tell me the founder of his own church, then the life history of the person in question then his questions will be answered satisfactorily.

Of course you're not neutral as you claim since you're not interested in knowing who the founder of his own religion is rather you're just interested in rumours.

The founder of any group means someone on whose thoughts, words and deeds a group is formed so even after such a person has died the legacy will remain as the foundation of the group but in this case your friend is saying something and i want to help you all to see that he's mistaking just to discover that you're not sincere in your findings.

Charles Taze Russell was a member of a group formed in the late 19th century this group was dedicated to finding out how Christianity supposed to be practiced since there are countless religious sects all claiming they're Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines. He became the president or Chairman of that group because the American government doesn't recognize any group without a spokesman and ever since then the group kept making research on the lifestyle, ministry, thoughts, words and actions of a first century Jewish young carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth whatever they discovered or concluded after a thorough research on the scriptures will lead to adjustments in their beliefs.

That's why i keep asking advocatejare to tell us the founder of his own church because i know for sure that he doesn't understand the meaning of that word "FOUNDER" he's just following whatever people say.

So if the teachings and doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses organization keep changing based on what we found in the scriptures regarding the life history, ministry, thoughts, words and actions of Jesus of Nazareth then how do you think Charles Taze Russell who was just a member or spokesperson of the research group the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses?
Are the teachings and doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses based on the life history, ministry, thoughts words and actions of Charles Taze Russell or that of Jesus of Nazareth?

For your information Charles Taze Russell do celebrate his birthday, he was bearing the title PASTOR, he also celebrates Christmas and used the image of cross until his death in 1916 whereas all these have become unscriptural practices among Jehovah's Witnesses today.

So in what way is Charles Taze Russell the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization?

Thanks for your time!

Did he come here proclaiming his denomination/sect/organization etc is the best? No. Since you made that declaration then you should defend it. Its very simple. If he comes and says so, my sect is da bomb, then we'll have to examine his claim

livebyday:
Thaw are obvious and not needed to be stated. He said he has been at this for 8 years so surely he knows this. He isn't a Child

S
You would be surprised some adults older than him don't know that. Some attribute their attacks to a lot of things

livebyday:
Garlic is better for you start taking it once daily not only whe you have an attack, and you will never need an inhaler again for the rest of your life. Trust me ...

Thank me later.. just ignore the people telling you about the smell. Your life is more important than their feelings.

Start taking garic daily with water first thing in the morning peel it and chew it then drink water before you brush your teeth.

Afterwards brush your mouth for the morning.

Garlic won't stop an asthmatic attack! He should stay away from the triggers

MaxInDHouse:
NO!
We can't skip anything until we both agree first that's how to settle issues.
So what is your understanding of the idiom "FRUIT"?

I know you're not neutral as you claim but i'm not going to drag that with you, you're not discussing with churchgoer my guy you're discussing with one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

So let's agree on what Jesus meant by "FRUIT"

Since you're accusing me of not being neutral, I leave you to your device.
By the way, advocatejare's question needs an answer

MaxInDHouse:
Bringing them together for what purpose?

For the purpose you stated

MaxInDHouse:
Hmmmmmmm so you mean a person who has never read or heard about the Bible will know what Jesus meant by FRUIT even if such a person hasn't studied the Bible to know what he meant by FRUIT?

Well there are many fruit sellers in the market perhaps we should start examining different fruits in the market!

Ọmọ no matter how intelligent you are a Bible student will prove to be 100 times smarter than you!

I have read the bible and I know the fruit. So we can skip this part. Again I ask, is it only your organization that do that?

Whalis:
The preacher hasn't traveled outside Nigeria.
She would have known that there are parts of earth that without wearing trousers the cold would freeze the lady wearing just skirt.

… and most Scottish men would go to hell

richie240:
For d purpose of this argument, let's assume she lied.
Did d bible that forbade women putting on trousers also lie too?

What defines male and female clothing?
Do a research on this and get back to me

MaxInDHouse:
In the first Bible book God explained how a lot happened that led to what mankind is facing today. So to grasp the meaning of certain idioms later used as illustrations in the Bible you must go back to study that first book diligently.
God's word said Adam and Eve ate a certain FRUIT which led to their change in nature and they began growing old, got sickly and died.
What is that FRUIT?
Moreover God's word said there are many other FRUITS in that garden that's good for food too.
So when Jesus later said "By their FRUITS" you will recognize them he was talking about hurtful as in deadly concepts God didn't mastermind but men developed as time goes by.
For instance mankind was to scatter throughout the planet and live in all the geographical locations on it {Genesis 1:27-28} but due to fear of being wiped out with flood some other times they decided to stay in one location and build a tower in which they'll run perhaps God decides to repeat what happened during Noah's time. Genesis 11:4
That's why God confused their language and they scattered throughout the earth each person going with the one that understands his or her language. Genesis 11:6-9
So instead of seeing themselves as one big family racism set in as each is supporting his own dialect with everything they had whether right or wrong.
God promised to unite all right thinking humans under one umbrella so that they can form a global family of peace loving worshipers. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
It will be as if they're speaking the same language {Zephaniah 3:9} as they settle their disparities peacefully among themselves! Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3
Whatever religion you find on this planet today you will notice that they're all fetching for members (supporters) of the concept they developed as their religion and ideology about God so as they're fetching for members their FRUIT will determine where they belong whether it's God's doing or man's.
Out of all the religions on this planet the one and only organization that's producing what God foretold in that Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Zephaniah 3:9 is Jehovah's Witnesses.
That's the only religion gathering people from all nations and making them one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers where they've settled all their disparities among themselves as if they are speaking the same language.
They're going throughout the earth making disciples and inculcating in them what Christ Jesus commanded to love and pray for their enemies {Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27-28} love their neighbours as themselves {Mark 12:31} and be prepared to die for fellow members if the need arises! John 15:12-13

That's the one and only evidence of Christ's true disciples {John 13:34-35} and everywhere Jehovah's Witnesses are allowed they make disciples {Matthew 28:19-20; Act 1:8} having this same line of thought! John 17:22 compare to 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

That is the FRUIT expected of God's people which no other religion can produce no matter how hard they try they will only catch one tribe or race while people living in other geographical locations on this planet won't even know about them talkless being their member!

You have a way of beating around the bush and losing focus.
Lemme repeat…
Is your organization the only one bringing people of all race, language, caste etc together?

MaxInDHouse:
You're really funny with your "Neutrality"

Do you know the FRUIT expected of worshipers of God during the endtime?

If you don't know it how can you say i err for saying only Jehovah's Witnesses are producing it?

Your bible said by their fruits you shall know then. It didn't specifically say who the 'you' is. That means everyone, irrespective of their religious or non religious leanings should know

BornofGod108:
Her testimony is true believe it

Any reason why I should believe it? Did you check her story out and confirm it?
Have you also heard that people on different religions come up with these stories, each with different versions of their gods. So why is this particular one more credible than those?

MaxInDHouse:
You don't need to just be neutral as you claim and ask each religionist claiming Christian to prove what the FRUIT is then explain how their religion is bearing it.

Mind you the FRUIT is just one unique thing that God planned to achieve with pure worship so it's not FRUITS but one FRUIT.

Jesus is saying each religion has their own fruit that's what he meant when he said:

By their FRUITS (as in different religions) will produce their own kind of fruit but as for God's organization you need to know the type of fruit expected.

You're an atheist and you trust in testable logic that's approved by your own school of thought not just whatever anyone choose to present so if you're truly neutral ask all these people to present the TESTABLE LOGIC Jesus Christ talked about instead of pointing accusing finger at one another. That's nonsense and Ingredient if they truly want to prove they're for Jesus then they must stick to what he said about how to figure out the true religion! Matthew 7:16-18

Again you err.
You said its only your organization that bear this 'fruit', so are you saying other organizations or sects don't have this fruit?

MaxInDHouse:
Of course my group is the one and only true religion on this planet but that's not how to prove it according to God's word which none of them can refute there's nothing any of them can say against my group that's strange among God's people.

So if it's about proving that my group is the one and only true religion then we must follow the testable logic given by the founder of Christianity himself: Jesus Christ.

According to Jesus it's not about what happens to imperfect humans that we are to determine the one and only true religion rather it's about a certain FRUIT expected of God's organization {Matthew 7:16} so if they're ready let's get to work by reading, studying, meditating and judging from the viewpoint of Jesus Himself!

Lemme oblige you for a moment, and agree with you. So its only your organization that exhibit these 'fruits'?

MaxInDHouse:
You're still deceiving yourself!

How many different sects are claiming pentecostal?
I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses!
Let him come out clean by mentioning the name of his own church then a cross examination can start!

To be honest, he doesn't need to. Remember you have been claiming your sect is the best thing after sliced bread. He hasnt made any of such claims concerning his own sect. So since you made the claim, then you have to defend it by answering his questions and staking your claim. Basic logic.
End of

Didn't Scientific studies claimed that Sophia's software program evolved overbillions of years : I don't get it!

Since you are not inclined in showing me evidence of this 'scientific studies' you've been yammering about(despite me showing you data that you're wrong), I'll assume you have nothing else to say to further this discourse. Have a nice day then
