Hi I've ran out of Fludrocortisone tablets. Is it OK to miss two doses
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Abruptly stopping or missing doses of Fludrocortisone can cause a sudden drop in bp, dizziness or weakness. Your doctor may advise you to resume taking the medication at your next scheduled dose or to take an extra dose to make up for the missed ones.

Your sore throat and pain likely stem from an infection or throat irritation. The medicines help fight infection, reduce pain, and control allergies that worsen throat issues. Complete the full medication course, rest your voice, and drink warm fluids abundantly.

I had bppv since last week from 18'th Feb 2024 diagnosed by a doctor and was prescribed vertin 10 mg took it for 5 days still had slight dizziness so he increased my doze to vertin 16 I have been taking it from past 2 days and now have no signs or symptoms of bppv should I continue taking vertin 16 ?
Female | 17
It is advised to consult your doctor before continuing any medication. Vertin 16 mg is a higher dose compared to Vertin 10 mg and should be taken only after consultation with a specialist. An ENT specialist has to be consulted for the same, which he will give a proper examination for and prescribe the medicine accordingly.

I am 26 and I am 5.2 feet in height. I wat to increase 2.5-3 inches of my height. is it possible? any medical treatment or supplement or medicine? please help me.
Male | 26
I must inform you that after the age of 18-20, the growth plates in your bones usually fuse, and your bones stop growing. So it's unlikely that you can increase your height by 2.5 to 3 inches through medical treatment, supplements, or medicines.
There is also a surgical procedure called Limb lengthening but its a complex one considered as a last resort for those with severe limb length discrepancies and comes with certain risks & complications.

Hello, I have had a sore throat for 9 days my nose and mouth have been sore also, I have been on antibiotics for 5 days . It hurts me to swollow anything.
Female | 61
Maybe the antibiotics you have been taking for the last 5 days are not effective in controlling the infection resulting in your sore throat. I advice you to get an ENT consultation in order to get the correct diagnosis. They may recommend another antibiotic or to explore other treatment options and manage symptoms for you. Do not delay getting treatment of your problems with swallowing as this may aggravate matters.

It is possible that you may have an underlying respiratory condition such as asthma or COPD that is causing your symptoms. You should see a doctor for a more thorough evaluation and to discuss treatment options. It is also possible that your symptoms could be caused by allergies or other environmental triggers. An allergist or pulmonologist can help you identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.

Sodium level of 126 is known to be low and it may be a result of some antitubercular drugs. It is necessary to discuss the matter with the treating doctor, who can prescribe a different medication dosage or hospitalize your mother for a thorough examination.

Does height supplements will work for me, I am a 14 year old boy.Iam currently 5.2 feet and my father's height is 5.2 feet and mother's height is 4.8 feet. I have hit puberty early like 11 or 12. Can I grow to 5.7 feet with daily exercises and necessary food
Male | 14
So, I would refer you to a pediatric endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation of your chances of reaching the normal height. But exercise and a good diet are vital for growth, the use of height supplements is not recommended showing that they are not effective. The specialist can suggest a combination of other interventions that best suits you in terms of your needs and potential growth.

I would suggest ENT specialist visit if you are suffering from blocked ears and severely hearing tinnitus. These hints could be signals of underlying problems like earwax overgrowth, ear infection, ear disorder, or hearing loss. One should get a proper diagnosis from his or her doctor to avoid developing into a more severe disease and to ensure proper treatment for it.
