YESIT WAS MADE BY A DOC AND HE IS AWARE OF MY PRESENT STATE
Amoxicillin is okay for me, mine concern is the ACT with Lumefantrine in combination which is suitably recommended for second trimester hence. But what if your symptoms were too much just to over look? Or, the prescription was done in the place of a needed one?

Get to hear from him to assure you of this medication, to know the present risk in using the drug in your first trimester and the chances of having any complications on using it.

Hello Dr.

I wish to get solution to my health issue... Had unprotected sex last year, but discovered some whitish substance after each ejaculation.

Thought it was normal, I stopped having sex since October, but discovered was losing weight. Ran an STD test and discovered had staphylococcus. Got the drugs I was recommended but discovered it pushed it out the more. Went for another test this time, the result showed that I had staphylococcus areausss and klebsiella UTI...

Currently, my body itches me, and the disease seems to resist the drugs... Please help me...

How is your baby doing?
Assuming this is coming in time, you may:

1) Carefully keep a relax spirit about this issue. This will give you room to study the feeding habit you are imposing on the baby and the kind of change you will need to address to shift this issue shift to annul. A relax spirit will ward off the immediacy to act quickly and experiment hurtful negotiations that are not necessary to try.

2) Know that some reflux are normal in most infants and may reduce with time.Normal burping procedures and normal feeding process should be in the doing and not changed. You may need to:
a) avoid shaking the baby's head and body after every feeding.
b) avoid feeding the baby too frequently.
c) avoid feeding the baby just too immediately after a reflux. Learn to allow some minutes or an hour before before refeeding.
d) feed baby with little quantity of water after some reflexes. This shouldn't be all the time, but giving him little quantity after a reflux could help in replacing thirst and body dryness. Watch out for urination. Then give feeding a trial.
e) stop feeding baby for a long time if possible.
f) study how comfortable your baby is to know when to give feeding. This will predict to suggest whether a long feeding or short feeding is necessary:
i) after any medication
ii) a temperature change
iii) a sudden fall
iv) after a sleep.

3) Does any change comes with this reflux? For example, do you observe that he hardly passes faeces? Hardly sleeps? Passes scanty urine? Passes watery faeces? Hardly cries or cry too often? changes in movement in the eyes and eyeballs? Color of urine and faeces and the impression on the waste pads? Change in breathing?

4) Seek the help of a Pediatrician if possible to know what is the most available help you can get in the present practice to such presenting case.

5) Kindly let other experience mothers be known of your present dilenma, they may have one good input to shift in that will either reduce or stop the degree of the refluxing or even change your mental state on how you see this challenge.

Thanks doc. I went through this and it's going to be very helpful. I will feed you back very soon.

Okay doctors I need a little knowledge update here usually I don't take Yogurt because it is fermented.So I do avoid it despite my carvIng for it because i noticed anytime I consume yogurt malaria is the next thing .Yesterday I had this rocket malaria that hit me, so I took the necessary preventive drug and was feeling better.I even took some swallows so the drugs would work quickly.Now this night I noticed the malaria had crawled back.So I did a memory googling and remember the soup I consumed was a little bit fermented.I just want to know is there a relationship between consuming fermented food and drop in resistance to malaria.Thank you.

This question will be well answered by Consultant doctors on Clinical Microbiology or Immunology. However, on my part I simply can't trace any pathophysiology between ingesting fermented food and malaria fever. It may just be coincidental or a matter of individual predispositions.

Hello Doc. Good afternoon. Please I've been running temperature for months now. I don't feel feverish or sick tho. Its just that my body is always hot. Checked my temperature via axillary and its always within 37-37.5 degree Celsius. Since December till now. It happened last month and I took malaria drugs coupled with antibiotics and it went away but I still run temperature. Coupled with mild head aches, joint and muscle aches. And a sense of urgency to stool (loose, not watery with normal stool)- mild diarrhea. Plus I have mild cough and I occasionally bring out sputum (I think that's what its called-saliva mixed with phlegm). And I also have white spots down my throat too. I did malaria/typhoid test and malaria showed no parasite seen and typhoid showed D 1/20 insignificant. I started noticing all these when i kissed a particular girl when I had harmattan sore on my lip. I cant say for sure if she had blood on her lip but I didnt taste blood. What's really the cause? I did a blood test and I'll drop the results.

Have you done swabbing of your the throat?
What about culturing of the sputum?

I haven't done it o. Since you've said it I'll do it on Monday. What about the persistent fever? I don't feel feverish. But I'm always running temperature. Like my body is always hot. Its surprising since there's no malaria and typhoid.

Everything is alright except for the normally low haemoglobin which could either get lower if this condition presses harder.
Also, I would preferred you wrote values for Monocytes, Eosinophils and Basophils as written on the request form than giving them as a guess.

A persisting fever is an indication of a stable or unstable continuous inflammatory activities either by an explained or unexplained causes or agents.
Let's start from the former as I wrote formerly. Bring me result after the sputum screening and throat swabbing.

How many weeks was in between when you had the kiss done and the time symptoms started showing?

I'm finding it difficult uploading pictures. But there was a big bracket that covered monocytes, eosinophils and basophils and there was a big 10.

Good evening everyone. I had internal itching in my hand. I scratched it and in a matter of seconds that part of my skin was raised. It wasn't swollen. Just a bit raised. What may be the cause?
Re: Doctor in the House: Free Medical Advice Available by Nobody: 1:25am On Feb 15, 2020
Hello Doc
About 9 months ago I had all the typical ARS symptoms in the book after an exposure . I mean all of it. Which most of it stopped after about some months. But write now from the last test I did my WBC was 4.9( this has been dropping rapidly since my exposure) and from whats on the result it should be from 4.8- 10.
As it stands I do have multiple sores inside my mouth and on my gum most times. Rashes on my whole body from time to time.
I have done vdrl, hepetitis a-C, hiv even did a PCR(undetected), and a host of other test.
Like I said I had the typical ars symptoms and it still scares me as I still have oral thrush(doctor diagnosed this and gave me drugs for it yet no improvement) I do have these rashes every now and then too. I still have my nodes in neck swollen( saw this when I was having the ars symptoms) and from the test I did. It shows my nodes range is higher than normal.
What could be the cause and are there diseases which imitates HIV or could it be HIV but yet test isn’t picking it yet.
