I have been packing my sons pilonidal cyst wound for 11 days, twice a day. We have gotten to the point where the cyst opening is so small I can barely put gauze in there. Currently there is no drainage, redness, or smell is this normal? I understand that it needs to heal from the inside out, but is it normal to have it so difficult to pack?

Answered on 23rd May '24
Consult your doctor for specific advice on your son's pilonidal cyst wound. Reduced drainage, redness, and smell may indicate healing, still monitoring is required. Difficulty in packing as the wound shrinks is normal. If you have any concerns or or see signs of infection consult your doctor quickly. Follow their instructions for proper care.

Post-surgery swelling around the anus is normal. This occurs while healing from hemorrhoid or fissure procedures. You may experience discomfort, pain, or itchiness. The swelling should reduce within days. Contact your surgeon if swelling worsens or persists.

Moringa is generally safe for most people, like teenagers. It's packed with vitamins and minerals beneficial for health. However, taking too much can sometimes cause upset stomach or diarrhea.

My son is booked in for some immunisations, were going abroad to turkey and wanted him to have the rabies jab and hepatitis A. He’s 16 months old and the doctors will not give him the Rabies jab due to him being too young ?
Male | 2
I suggest that should not get the rabies vaccine till they are one year old, at least. But, in some cases, the vaccine can sometimes be injected into six-week-old infants. It is strongly recommended that you consult a pediatrician.

I'm on hrt and escitalopram. Just wondering can I take tumeric with black pepper for joint pain
Female | 46
Yes, you may use turmeric and black pepper for joint pain. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory and black pepper improves the bioavailability of turmeric. The combination of this with HRT or escitalopram does not appear to be dangerous. But, like any new supplement or medication it is important to discuss with your doctor before including this in your regimen.

From the way it seems, fever and chills have been bothering you for quite some time. I am glad to hear that the tests have come back normal and the team has ruled out the serious stuff. To recover from an infection like typhoid takes sometimes thus some symptoms may remain. Make sure you are resting well, staying hydrated, and taking your vitamins. If your symptoms do not go away, do not hesitate to visit your doctor.

Male | 65
Whenever you have your blood work done, it is essential to get it reviewed by your doctor. I recommend a trip to the hematologist, who is an expert in all diseases related to blood. They are capable of conducting a thorough examination and protocol in case there is a need for any kind of treatment or lifestyle changes.
