I am a 23 year old female with many issues starting with not taking my chronic medication and a yeast infection loss of appetite due to my drug intake and now I have a sharp pain in my waist

Female | 23

Skipping chronic medication might trigger problems like a yeast infection. These can also be without appetite and cause pain in the flank. Ttake your meds as prescribed to avoid them. Taking plenty of water and consuming fiber-rich foods will make it easier. If you have pain even after doing so, talk to your healthcare provider.

Hi, Our 1.1 year old baby did a blood test, and several abnormal values were found: IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES 0.18 k/ul IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES % 1.4 NEUTROPHILS % 16 LYMPHOCYTES 10 k/ul LYMPHOCYTES % 76.8 MONOCYTES % 4.6 HEMOGLOBIN 10.6 G/Dl MCHC 31.5 G/Dl MYELOCYTES BS % 0.9 ANISOCYTOSIS + MICROCYTES + The test was done after having several bacterial and viral infections in a row (we finished with antibiotics 2 days before the test). Is there a reason to worry? Thanks!

Male | 1

Test results suggest that your 1.1-year-old baby has viral or bacterial infection, which is still going on. Probably, you should see a pediatrician ASAP and bring the results of the test along with you. They will show you the right way of treatment. Don't put off seeking medical care too much.

Is it safe to take betacap plus 10 along with nitrofurantoin SR

Female | 24

Taking certain me­dicines together isn't a wise­ idea. Betacap plus 10 and nitrofurantoin SR don't mix well. Combining the­m could make you dizzy, give you low blood pressure­, and other unpleasant effe­cts. Always consult your doctor before using these­ medications simultaneously.

I'm 33 years old, 5'2, 195lb, I take levothyroxine. I have a shooting pain left side going down left leg for a week and it continues. It hurts lying down, rolling over, sitting up, standing up, walking. It feels better when I sit, the longer I sit the better it gets. Not walking on my injure side helps. I have to sleep in a chair because lying down is uncomfortable. Can you help me?

Female | 33

It could be related to issues like sciatica or a pinched nerve. It's crucial to consult a professional doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Sciatica, a herniated disc, or spinal stenosis might be causing the discomfort. Consider seeking medical attention for evaluation, managing pain with ice/heat and pain relievers, maintaining good posture, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

I have gastritis. I had been prescribed Amoxicillin tablets and i purchased accidentally capsule and consumed it, will it have a wrong affect in the body

Male | 21

For gastritis, Amoxicillin consumption in capsule instead of tablet form should not significantly affect its value. If you have doubts about the dose or the form of medication that you've taken, it's good to consult your doctor for confirmation and more instructions.

My mother is an asthama patient, she got mild fever and body pain so I have given her ibrufen 200 mg ,if there is any contradiction then what to do. Can I give her Montamac tablet and her Formanide pump

Female | 56

Fever and body pain can be caused by different things, and giving ibuprofen is usually a sensible thing to do. On the other, ibuprofen is not the best choice for asthma patients because it can sometimes make things worse. You can also try giving Montamac tablets for the fever and body pain as an alternative to ibuprofen. The use of her Formanide pump, which medical professionals have prescribed for her asthma, must be strictly observed. The same is true if the symptoms worsen, it is necessary to see a doctor.

HBsAg (ECLIA) Test regarding suggestions

Female | 38

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood. This test is highly sensitive and specific and is the preferred method for the diagnosis of HBsAg infection. An electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) can also be used to detect HBsAg in the blood. This test is less sensitive than ELISA, but it is more specific, meaning it is less likely to give a false positive result.

Your mom's symptoms may re­sult from flu or bacterial infection. Rest, stay hydrated, and eat light me­als. If symptoms persist or worsen, see­k medical attention. This ensure­s proper care and recove­ry. High fevers with body aches ofte­n indicate illness requiring profe­ssional treatment.

Hi, I am a 17-year-old male who was scratched by a cat. This cat is not a house pet, as it lives outside of the house and can wander around the village freely. I was lightly scratched on my hand with some blood. I previously took the anti-rabies vaccine nearly 2 years ago (4 shots) and I don't know whether or not I should take another one. This cat is also not vaccinated against anti-rabies.

Male | 17

Your anti-rabies vaccine­ is still recent. A scratch from a cat might lead to an infection, but rabies is uncommon. Be watchful for swelling, redne­ss, or discomfort near the scratch area. If those­ signs arise, visit your doctor promptly. No need for anothe­r vaccine now since yours is still valid. Clean the­ scratch thoroughly and monitor it.

Male | 0

Candid mouth paint is not meant for the­ nose. The paint irritates nose­ tissues. You may feel burning. You might sne­eze. You could have trouble­ breathing. Don't put mouth paint in your nose. If you did, rinse with wate­r gently. That's safer.
