Is Antibiotic and Dexamethasone Therapy Effective for Tinnitus Caused by Ear Nerve Problems?
Hello! After a common cold I have tinnitus. My doctor said the ear nerve is the problem and made a therapy plan with infusions of antibiotics and dexametason for 5 days. After the 2nd one there is no improvement. Im not sure if this is the right therapy for my problem

It should be noted that tinnitus may manifest itself after a cold because of the inflammation in the middle ear. But the treatment plan that you offer seems adequate. In this regard, it is recommended to have all the antibiotics and dexamethasone. In case of absence of any improvements, you should see your ENT specialist for additional evaluation and treatment.

Please which medicine is good for dryness
Female | 30
Symptoms of dryness may be the result of many factors e.g. dry climate, dehydration or some disease like Sjogren's syndrome. In order to identify a specific cause of the problem, you have to see a doctor. For skin conditions like dry skin, a dermatologist can prescribe the correct moisturizer, yet for the eyes, an ophthalmologist can suggest eye drops. Self-medication is hazardous and should be totally avoided.

I have a tender hard bump on the left side back of my head for a few days. It came all of a sudden and only feels tender when I touch it. Thought maybe it was a swollen lymph node but not sure. What do you think?
Female | 18
It may be a swollen lymph node, cyst, boil, result from trauma, or be a lipoma. Consult a doctor for proper check up.

I am 21 year old and I got fever yesterday night. Still today I have fever and joint pain. In last week, I visited to some place where I thought I came into contact with Mosquito. Kindly tell me what to do and what are the things that I need to eat.
Male | 21
You may have caught a mosquito-borne virus. These viruses can result in fever and joint pain. One of the well-known viruses is dengue fever. Rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and take acetaminophen for the fever. Consume light and nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and soups that have been cleared. If the condition worsens or severe symptoms are experienced, the person should immediately seek medical help.

Im Ace, just wanna know if sleeping late affect my height
Male | 14
Your height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which close in late adolescence or early adulthood. So staying up late occasionally won't have a significant impact on your height. Young people are recommended to get an adequate amount of sleep for their age (7-9 hours) to support overall well being during their growing years.

Hey I just have quick question in regard my prescription I received off on Thursday 11th May : I was prescribed azithromycin. So I started it on Friday 12th May My first day I had to take one dose of 1g I took the four tablets in one go as said And then Saturday and Sunday I had to take 500mg once a day for 2 days. But I was spacing out the 500mg during the day on Saturday and Sunday I was taking one in the morning so 250mg and one in the evening 250mg? Was that okay to do ? Will it still work the same ?
Female | 28
While you took the first dose correctly, it's imp to take the 500mg as a single daily dose as prescribed. If you have any concerns, you should contact the doctor who prescribed it to you.

Hey there, a virgo here (one of those people still believing in the value of marriage (only it's delayed to some degree) and what comes with it. This isn't meant as passing judgement but to avoid at times hurtful snarky remarks from DR.'s (unbelievable)) That sounds weird to open with it, however it is a vital info). I have been this past few months under a lot of stress at work, including very late remote computer work at night (until 3, even 5am) and dealing with unpleasant people(oh fun:)), my diet was indeed less leaning into the veggies and fruit. What brings me here seeking your advice? My period is sure taking its time (think it's around 54 days since beginning of last menstruation, so it's considered by now missed I guess.)gravitaain between nconstipatiaiton nto normalal to having this one tiimem momentaraty stomach ahache annd diarreah aiwiwith a miild passing fever). Last month regular blood work showed normal iron and HB levels. However, despite being within normal range the ferritin levels were at the minimum level while transferrin on the maximum level within its range. Had some more acne than usual (occasional small pimples on back of hands (a relatively new phenomenon from past years (with the increased stress and worries), ear, chest back face neck. Nothing too severe not a lot either (not as I used to) because I try and treat it keeping it at bay (but a bit more than usual, also not as usual in their location (nonetheless important). My question is what sort of test should I be asking, what sort of blood test to get to the bottom of it, and what should I do also to not augment stress that does not (!) help the situation? Please I'd appreciate your reply
Female | 38
Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that your delayed period and gastrointestinal issues could be related to stress and dietary changes. It's important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your missed period and any potential hormonal imbalances. Also you need to consult with a gastroenterologist to evaluate your gastrointestinal symptoms. Avoiding stressors as much as possible and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine may also help alleviate your symptoms.

Female | 32
Your worry about getting infected from the dog bite is understandable. It's great you got the rabies shots beforehand. After such an incident, watch for signs like fever, headache, or weakness. If any present themselves, waste no time in visiting a hospital. Ensuring safety is paramount, so don't hesitate if concerns arise.

Hi! I’m having my exam week so i don’t want to waist time going to a doctor… maybe this will help… I’ve been feeling really tired for a week now and have been getting headaches and weird ‘pain’ while moving my eyes from side to side. It started with that but then I started to get really tired at everything. Even picking something up from the ground made my heart pound. Also been walking around with a really dry throat for some days…. Is there something I can do? Because steaming, cold water, aspirin and throat candy’s are not helping.
Female | 16
If you're experiencing persistent fatigue, headaches, eye pain, and dry throat, it's crucial to consult a doctor for evaluation. Prioritize your health during exam week and seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and advice. In the meantime.. manage stress, get enough rest, stay hydrated, and take breaks during study sessions.

Alcohol stays in the body for up to 80 hours after drinking and may be detected by urine or blood tests. Nevertheless, the results can differ based on how much and often alcohol is used.

Male | 48
The main cause of numbness in the hands is hyperemia in the muscles of the hands. The hyperemia causes increased amount of blood flow. Collagen reduction is another aging factor in the body leading to numbness in the hands. You can consult an orthopedic or a joint specialist to get over this problem

Dors it couses eyes cencer
Male | 18
Dors or DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a chemical that was banned and is known to have many health problems, such as cancer. There is no direct evidence that links DDT to eye cancer, but it is better to avoid exposure to dangerous substances. For any concerns or symptoms related to eye cancer, see an ophthalmologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

A calf Bitten by 3 dogs before 1.5 months ago.and no rabies symptoms are shown in past 1.5 month in the calf. Yesterday I mistakenly wash my mouth with the same water which the calf drinked water.Is there any chances of rabies.
Male | 22
If a calf did not show any rabies symptoms in the past month and a half after being bitten by a dog, it is unlikely to have rabies. Some of the symptoms of rabies in animals are burrowing in the mouth, changes in behavior, and slow swallowing. By your mistake to rinse your mouth with that same water, you have the least possibility of getting rabies. It is significant that you take care of and properly clean any wounds. If some symptoms occur like fever, pain, or difficulty swallowing, consult a doctor.
