why is my appendix sent to lab after appendectomy? Is it done for every patient as standard? Or did they find anything unusual during surgery?

Male | 23

The purpose of sending the appendix to the lab after an appendectomy is to perform histopathological examination. This examination allows pathologists to analyze the tissue for any signs of inflammation, infection, or other abnormalities. It is a basic step to make sure that patient's overall health is fine and nothing else that requires further treatment. Patients should talk to their surgeon or doctor for any doubts or questions regarding their medical procedure.

A.o.A...my mother of 85, completely on bed she is a diabetic. Today she is sweating slightly.

Female | 85

Exce­ssive sweating might signal her blood sugar is dipping low. That's common for folks with diabe­tes. Give her some­thing sugary - a candy or juice should do the trick. Also, check those­ glucose readings. Staying hydrated he­lps too. But if the sweating persists or odd symptoms come up, don't hesitate to loop in her doctor for advice­.

This range is quite high and serious. The first step to lowering uric acid levels is to exclude high purine foods like red meat and sea foods and alcohol. Eating a diet with whole-grain cereals and foods rich in vitamin C could be much more effective. Please see a specialist for prescription

Male | 26

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.

I experience body reaction when ever I stay for long without eating,,my body start reacting while swelling with itching condition. It happens for some minutes and disappear immidiately after taking some rest,,i consulted many doctors and they tells me it is allergic reaction but this sickness is worsening,,what can I do?

Male | 35

You might have e­xercise-induced urticaria. With this, your body ge­ts deprived of food. It reacts by making skin itch and swe­ll. The body release­s histamine, a substance causing allergic re­actions. Your case relates to lack of food. Manage­ it by eating small, frequent me­als. This keeps blood sugar stable. It may pre­vent reactions. If issue continue­s, see a doctor. They'll furthe­r evaluate and guide you.

Smoker addictive for few years

Male | 17

Cigarette addiction is strong because of the nicotine that smokes contain. You may be irritable, anxious, and have strong urges to smoke when you try to quit smoking. This is quite natural as your body is used to nicotine. The best strategy for smoking cessation is the aid of family, friends, or even a support group. You could also consult a healthcare provider who would be able to provide you with techniques you could use to quit successfully.

You can use a warm cloth on the affected ear, take an over-the- counter pain reliever, and avoid putting anything inside of your ear. The best thing is to periodically visit an ENT professional immediately after the symptoms set in for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

So I had sepsis back in August of 2023 I have fully recovered since then and was wondering is it safe to get a piercing

Female | 19

It is recommended to wait at least a year after recovering from sepsis before getting a piercing. This is to ensure that your immune system has fully recovered and can handle any potential infections. It is also advised to consult with an immunologist or infectious disease specialist before getting a piercing to ensure that it is safe for you.

Yes, it is a matter of concern. Because some of these vitamins and minerals contained in the gummies might have negative effects in higher doses, for instance iron. Take your child to a pediatrician as soon as possible, they will do the initial evaluation and give the appropriate treatments.

I'm suffering from fever since 2 days with body ache, headache and Little cough. I think I've catched cold but it might be some other reason. I've taken 3 paracetamol tablets in last two days. I feel much better today but symptoms still exist. Please help with that. Recommend medicines and other non medical care.

Female | 20

Many people­ have viral infections. They make­ your body feel hot, achy, and bad. Your head hurts. You cough. Taking me­dicine like paracetamol he­lps the fever go away. But the­ other problems stay because­ the virus needs time­ to leave. Resting and drinking lots of wate­r are important. Honey might help your cough. If you don't fe­el better soon, or worsens, se­e a doctor.
