Asked for Male, 20
I am a 20 year old male, last wednesday night I suddenly lost hearing in my left ear. I was diagnosed at an urgent care with OME, but I am concerned as my left ear is 100% deaf and that is not usually a symptom of OME
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
OME stands for Otitis Media with Effusion. It causes the middle ear to become filled with fluids. It usually follows a cold, and in most cases, does not result in complete deafness. If the hearing loss is rapid and strong, it can be something else. You need to consult an ENT specialist for more tests.

My daughter was bit by a dog tick what should I do I cleaned the area
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Dog ticks are a nuisance. Watch for the signs you see: blood, itchiness, and a bump on the skin. Ticks are what can indeed give you diseases; however, not everyone who gets bitten will necessarily be sick. The best outcome you had was to wipe the area with a cloth. If you see any weird signs or symptoms, it is better to call your local clinic.

Kindney stone 3.6 mm Please tell me about description
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
A stone of 3.6 mm in size is akin to having a mini boulder in the kidney. Sometimes, they can even make you feel pain in the areas of your belly, side, or back. The rock-like substances can be caused by dehydration and certain foods. Drinking a lot of water will aid in the process of passing the stone. If it's too large, a doctor may help crush it into smaller pieces or take it out.

Yes I have contacted urologist again but he won't help me with the kidney stones 6mm ,what can I do ?
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Suffering 6mm pads can be extremely painful and bring medical complaints like very strong back or side pain, hematuria, and wanting to pee often. The leading causes are dehydration and a diet that is excessive in salt. To facilitate the movement of the stones, you should consume plenty of water, limit your intake of salty foods, and take the medications a nephrologist may recommend. If the pain gets intense, you have to go to the hospital ASAP.

This condition is most likely caused by intestinal worms. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, vomiting, and weight loss. To help, you can get deworming medication for your son. Visit a pharmacist or your pediatrician for a suitable medication. Be sure to follow the dosage instructions exactly.

What is the good weight to maintain when my height is 5"11' ?
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Keep a weight of 63 to 83 kilos if you are 5"11' tall. Health issues are likely to crop up when a person is outside of this range. Use of excess weight may be the reason for tiredness, joint pain, and high blood pressure. Causes could be less exercise and bad dietary choices. To the point, the good way is to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to be able to stay within the healthy weight range.

Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Kids often pick up on other people's behavior and try different speech forms as they are growing up. Your baby may be presenting new words and sounds for the first time as a way of having fun with it at the age of 3. It is a usual part of their development thus they are learning to talk. Besides, supporting their development through talking and reading to them is beneficial. Each kid is a different person and the deadlines can be reached at different ages.

Answered on 23rd Oct '24
These symptoms can also mean a common cold is happening. Colds are mostly due to viruses. You may make your baby better by giving her enough fluids, using a humidifier, and cleaning her nose with a saline solution.

Answered on 22nd Oct '24
The gas and breathing problems, the left-hand pain, the back joint pain, and the spinning sensations can be connected to your thyroid condition. Hypothyroidism can be the reason for these symptoms. It is good to discuss this with your physician. They might optimize your thyroid medication or suggest other treatments to make you feel better.

Answered on 22nd Oct '24
You have burning, stinging, and spasms that are hard to bear. There are times when kidney stones can cause pain even when they are little. Drinking a lot of water can help get rid of them. Painkillers may be beneficial as well. If it persists or worsens, contact your nephrologist again.
