I don't feel any different. just taht it peels off and leaves a tiny mark.

Nope, no any other symtopms except sometimes i notice vibration or pain in my left kneel . I haven't yet.. just concerned if it is something i should be worried about sir.

Provided that it is not of any serious cosmetic challenge, you really don't have to bother about much about it. Just maintain normal skin care, proper healthy hygiene and a good balanced diet.

My question is what have you done so far in searching for solution to your GERD?
What medications have you used so far on it?
Any lifestyle changes?

This whole thing started late last quarter of last year, 2019 with heartburn and body hotness symptoms (with or without eating ) but with no difficulty in swallowing, I eat normal. Upon these observations, i went to hospital to explain and I was told I have GERD. Thus, omeprazole, cimetidine and antacid were prescribed for me and I was asked to limit/avoid heartburn triggers in relation to meals-spicy food, fatty, soft drinks, alchol, sweety things, raising bed head and so on and I obliged. Upon the completion of the pills, heartburn and hotness subsided significantly. But because I wanted total recuperation, i went to the hospital to narrate my current status, new set of pills: Elicorid, Barole and Antacid were prescribed again. Now, I have finished the Elicorid but the Barole remains few tablets (like 4) but I have noticed these new symptoms: Dry Tongue Mild Burning Tongue&Throat and Acidic Taste in my Premolars when I finished eating.
My question is: what do these new symptoms
connote because I need lasting solution to this whole mess. I have spent alot angrily.

I have gone through your post and I must say that the doctor you are seeing on this condition is making serious blunders on prescription, with this I don't think your GERD may improve too soon.

Doc pls ai noticed a tear or wound at the up part of buttocks(the lining). I knw I cnt shre it here bt do u knw wt causes a tear there
Are you a female?
Do you have long nails?
Can you recall anytime sitting on any rough or sharp edge?
Do you itch?
Is this your first experience on having a cut at that position of your buttocks?
Have you been using anything on the buttock recently or at the time of complaint?
How has the cut affected your daily activities in anyway?

I would only assumed the cut could have come from scratching on that zone of the buttocks or any circumstances of equivalent proximity , then the best thing to do would be to wait till it dry up and heal. Things like this happens on daily circumstances, I only hope you have done away with the itching problem, if so it will dry up and heal by itself.

Good evening Doc. I've been taking antibiotics for one week-Augmentin and Flagyl plus Vitamin D Calc but on the fifth day I saw fever blisters like 3 on my lips. I think its my first time taking Augmentin. Today made it 7 days but I woke up and noticed the blisters were gone. So quick question- Does antibiotics cause fever blisters?

Using a syndromic approach, the following medication may helpful for this complaint:
Fluconazole (200mg) and Doxycycline (100mg)
Use morning and evening, for at most 7days.
Report side effects immediately to me here or to WhatsApp number should you find medication causing any difficulty.
But I am sure side effect will be minimum if properly used.

Regarding those I am yet to reply to their mails, I will gladly request your patience as I will do so tonight. Also, it would be better to have it sent to my WhatsApp to keep my stress at a minimum too.

It is expected to have weight loss on a recurring GERD. My main problem with your doctor's prescription is slight. I see it improper to prescribe PIP (as in Omeprazole) and H2-receptor inhibitor ( as in Cemitidine) together. It is not acceptable as the PIP can never work optimally in the presence of H2R inhibitor. This may just be a reason for the symptomatic treatment (as with the antacid) rather than a managemental treatment. With this, I don't see how you may improve at all until the treatment plan needs to be well adjusted and planned.

Using a syndromic approach, let her get treated with Fluconazole and Metronidazole for 1 week.
She will be alright.
You should have same treatment as well. No sex during treatment.

we started using the drugs two days now and I Must confess, for that two days she has not seen any discharge

but doc, can we have protected sex?

This is getting serious oooo! So doc, what is the right expected treatment plan for this GERD? I need help! I am in dilemma. I have been taking pills unnecessarily which I sensed myself to be abnormal. I NEED HELP!

My Pills history: Omeprazole, Cimetidine, Gascol (antacid), Barole, Elicorid, Polycaine (ANtacid), Mebo gi softgel capsule.

Have you discussed with your doctor on the present symptoms you have been having these days?

No. I have not discussed with my doc. But currently, I am feeling just mild burning throat, mild acidic taste in my teeth, mild rough tongue, dry surface tongue, mild burning tongue and mild chest pain. I do use antacid (polycaine) once in a while though. With these my symptoms status, what can you deduce doc?

A combination of side effects from PIPs, antacids and then symptoms from your GERD.

Just talk to your doctor about your present condition. He should be able to say something better than it was before. He may consider re-evaluating your health in general and apply appropriate procedures and practice to improving your situation.

Boss 2balls,

Thanks for all the good work. Have always had this back pain. Have been treated for stress, H-pylori and recently did an xray with drugs below prescribed...

I just pray it is a treatable condition.
