How to Alleviate Ear Infection Before Specialist Visit?
What can be done to ease ear infection until we see the specialist
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

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.

Hi , I am 20 years old . I got a second degree burn on my finger four days ago and I have a burn blister no larger than my finger nail . I have a exam coming up soon and the blister affects my ability to write. Can I pop it and cleanse the area while applying a bandage?
Male | 20
No I won't recommend you do that as it can increase the infection. You can just let it recover on its own or use a sterile bandage to protect the blister and reduce friction. If the it bursts on its own, gently clean the area with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with a sterile bandage.

My mother has pain in throat since yesterday with cold cough and mild fever
Female | 58
Throat ache, coughing, and slight fever might mean a cold or flu. Viruses cause sore throat and coughing. Fever helps fight infection. For relief, ensure she rests, drinks lots of fluids, and takes over-the-counter pain meds if needed. However, if symptoms worsen or persist, see a doctor.

What the meaning of Tbt and how can I get better
Female | 25
TBT means tension-type headache. This is a common type of headache that often seems like a tight band around the head. The cause might be anxiety, incorrect posture, or not enough sleep. To improve, try to relax more often, sit up straighter, get more rest, and find ways to reduce or cope with stress. These kinds of headaches can be stopped by doing regular physical activity and making sure you drink plenty of water.

Hy maam , Iam facing serious issue please contact with mee thanks alot
Female | 24
Life is no crystal staircase, but "stairs" rose out of hardships often from previously denied histories. A wide range of health problems can come up such as headache, weakness, or discomfort which can be due to stress, bad sleep, or deficiency of one kind of nutrient or other. The essential thing is to address them using maintaining a suitable diet regime, consuming enough water, and practicing physical activities regularly. It, however, should not only be the only thing you know about the health condition and its treatment; you should also tell your family doctor frankly what you are going through for your doctor to be able to assess your situation accurately and to offer the best advice.

Hello! I have gained quite a bit of weight after a saddlebag lipo last year. I'm currently 1.69cm and about 74/75kg. I eat well & exercise fairly often but can't seem to sake those kg off. I want to start taking Mounjaro but I know usually it is recommended to people with BMI over 30. Is it safe for me to take it? I have no medical conditions & my only health issues is low vitamin D, low folic acid & low B-12, which I'm taking supplements for. I tried Orlistat last year & didn't work so that's not an option. Thanks!
Female | 31
The usage of any drug for weight loss, for example, Mounjaro should be prescribed after consulting an experienced medical professional. While Mounjaro is usually given to those with a BMI over 30, it may be safe for the prescription for a doctor.

Your tonsil infection may have returned, and the antibiotic you took previously may not have completely cured it. I recommend visiting an ENT specialist who can diagnose and treat your condition appropriately.

Why there was discharge before peing after taking termin injection
Male | 22
Regular pre-pee discharge after terminal injection is common. The shot sometimes aggravates the bladder, which results in this. There is some likelihood that it will also evoke a slight feeling of burning or a soft, dull pain. However, do not panic, as this symptom will normally resolve. Water is necessary to dilute the toxins in your body. If the problem lasts longer or becomes more severe, consult your physician.

My mother has been suffering from a large hernia for many years, and she was extremely obese. She previously weighed 85 and was 143 in height. One of the doctors insisted on performing a sleeve gastrectomy to alleviate the consequences of the hernia on her, and the sleeve operation was actually performed, and her mass has reached 28 today. I would like to ask, is it dangerous to leave a hernia without an operation? Is obesity a major cause of hernia? What is the relationship between obesity and hernias, and is it a major cause of hernias? When the hernia is returned to its place, does it pose a danger to the internal organs such as the heart and lungs? Is it necessary to have plastic surgery on the abdomen after hernia surgery? Thank you
Female | 58
The hernia can not be left without surgery as this may lead to severe problems such as incarceration or strangulation. Hernias are a major risk factor for obesity, as surplus weight is a persistent burden for the abdominal wall. Here, the expert will be a general surgeon. Plastic surgery on the abdomen following hernia surgery is not mandatory, but it can be advised in some cases for aesthetic improvement of the region.
