Good evening my Doctors and Pharmacists. I have not been seeing any Dentists on this thread or maybe i've failed to notice. Anyway, i'm an aspiring Dentist who wants to study at U.I. I know my doctors here will help us through our time in school because i'm already seeing myself as a student doc. Dr Lagusta and others(forgive me), i say welldone. |

How to Treat a Urinary Tract Infection You don't really think much about the importance of your urinary tract when you go to the bathroom. However, when you have a urinary tract infection, you probably have a hard time thinking about anything else. Try some of these ideas to treat a urinary tract infection. They range from medical solutions to at- home ideas that will both help you to recover and ease pain. Get Some Medical Help Evaluate your symptoms. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is most common in women, and it's caused by bacteria in the urethra and the urinary bladder. [1] Left untreated, this bacteria has the potential to make its ways to your kidneys, where it can damage them. The signs that you may have a UTI include: The feeling that you need to go frequently but little or nothing actually comes out Pain/burning during urination (dysuria) Fever and/or chills Abdominal aching and pain in the pelvic region Cloudy or unusually colored (dark yellow or greenish) urine Blood in the urine Foul-smelling urine Go to the doctor if you think you have a UTI. You need to get an accurate diagnosis, particularly if this is your first infection. UTIs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and even parasites. Knowing the cause will ensure that you get the right treatment. A doctor may need to prescribe antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals or even anti-parasite drugs. You need to know what type of UTI you have. For example, urethritis is the infection of the urethra (the channel that carries urine from your bladder outside your body) while cystitis is an infection of the bladder. [ |

[2] Only a doctor can prescribe drugs for such conditions as bladder spasms (e.g., atropine) and intense pain. Moreover, only a doctor will be able to determine whether surgery is needed. [3] Take the entire course of medication that's prescribed to you. Unfortunately, UTIs easily become resistant if you don't finish antibiotics,[4]so follow the instructions carefully and take all of your pills for the specified time period. Do not drink alcohol if you are on antibiotics. It weakens their effectiveness. Stay out of the sun if you're prescribed bactrim or any sulfa medications. Call your doctor if you don't notice improvements within a 24-hour period . Even if you feel better, take all of your medicationto completely wipe out the infection. Control fever and pain using over-the-counter acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. If you have questions about what works best, talk to your doctor. Take an over-the-counte r medication like Azo Standard: Fast Relief for Urinary Pain . Note that this medicine will turn your urine a bright yellowish orange color. Ask your doctor if you can take this medication before your appointment because it may affect the doctor's ability to read your test results. Azo also makes an over- the- counter UTI test strip. Urinate over the strip and read the results. Of course, these at- home tests aren't perfect. See the doctor as a smart precaution even if you test negative. Home Remedies to Make You Feel Better Increase your fluid intake . Both during a UTI and after, you need lots of fluids to flush out the infection and to keep you hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids can help to prevent cystitis.[5] Choose water, non- caffeinated tea and other healthy drinks. Avoid caffeine, which could dehydrate you. Also, avoid sugary drinks and alcohol. |

Did I ever mention on this thread that I was once in Faculty of Dentistry in a Nigerian university  I seriously don't get why those guys try so hard to prove that they're better than medical doctors. Why can't we all just believe we're equal and be fine with each other? What's with the complex Dr. Osahon, are you now saying Dentistry is more challenging than Medicine By the way, i like your name....reminds me of a friend with the same name, now studying Medicine in UI.  |
| Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Lagusta(m): 2:23pm On Jul 11, 2013 |
Osahon7: now I know u are not just funny, but hilarious!!! so we don't write primaries after house job abi like my sweetie alutacontinua said, let's all just treat ourselves equally and work together to achieve that same goal: to make the patient felt better!!! well, I have a cavity in my tooth, can you fill it with cement, Plss don't pull it out!!!! |
| Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Obinnau(m): 3:16pm On Jul 11, 2013 |
From my own understanding medics and dentists are pretty much on the same level and footing, the only problem I see there is that people feel like that if I didn't study medicine, then there is no other better area in the health world. My 100 cents though. |

I think you should continue with your present course of study,and then take the DE route when you roundoff. This might be a better option since you didn't sit for UTME this year.(you made a mistake not writing the UTME in the first place). Why? because you will be in 300l during the next admission session and will have just one year or so left to graduate.In My Opinion, leaving 300l to start afresh is a waste of time and resources.(it would have been an easier decision to make if you hadnt gone in for anatomy already). By 23+ you would have been done with your first degree, then you can go in for Medicine.(double achievement  thats if the passion remains. |
