You're welcome.
You shouldn't take anti-acids all the time and forever, there's a reason why 'God created the stomach' to have to strong acid in it. It's better to take it as needed.
With time you'll learn which foods cause you acid indigestion and those that don't, then you can change your eating habits accordingly.
Chocolates, alcohol, fatty food-----will cause indigestion
Fresh vegetables, protein meals, fruits---- will not cause acid reflux.

He has been having feverish conditions since early dis morning wit heavy breathing. Yet he just concluded malaria treatment today.

I know I am a bit of a luddite, but when we had no moderator we managed to get rid of the charlatans that tried to hijack this thread. Now we have a moderator, our advice seems to have been hijacked. Even as an experienced doctor I enjoy reading advice given by naijaking

I hope this reply is not deleted by the moderator.

If he's still having fever, it means he did not have malaria in the first place. I know in Nigeria all febrile conditions are malaria/typhoid until proven otherwise.

You need to request for blood culture, chest x-ray, urine culture, complete blood count, and chemistry profile. If he's already on antibiotics and continues to have fever, then it means you have to stop the antibiotics before taking the cultures.
Be sure they do sensitivity testing so that you can accurately pick the correct antibiotic this time.

Meanwhile you can give him tylenol or ibuprofen(with food) to relieve the fever as needed.

.Thanks be to God for bringing you here doctor. You will continue to grow in wisdom and strenght. Please l need your advise. l was pregnant early this year, at about four months, l discovered there wasn't any changes in my body, so l went for scan where it was discovered l had a blighted ovum, an evacuation was suggested which l later went for, l decided to go on 3 months family planning injection, which got my MC seized since then, though l had made up my mind not to get pregnant again. But since last month my husband has been quarreling with me that he hasn't seen me on MC since months ago, though he wasnt aware and he is still expecting pregnancy. The injection period lasted till August, and lm yet to see my MC, please doctor what can l use to bring the Mc back, and probably get pregnant on time. lm 36 yrs with average body. Tnks.

THANKS for this reply doc, we actually stopped all antibiotics according to a doctor's advice, it was while he was treating malaria that he had the "rigours" in his words. But more than anything he is very much better now and we hope to continue further treatments when the issue of body weakness is over which is quite fast and dramatic. I will definitely update you on further developments. God bless your work too

I tell my patients here in the US, that in this day and age, nobody should die from diabetes, if properply monitored and controlled. I hope we can say the same thing for people like you in Nigeria. I have seen people with juvenile diabetes grow up to be as old as people without diabetes.

Infact, the newest US supreme court Judge Sotomayor has been diabetic since she was 2 years old, and she's not about to give up at all. I say this because, people like you need to be encouraged and reassured. The key to maintaining a good health is controlling, monitoring, and regulating your blood sugar at all times. A little discipline would also help, because I know young diabetes like you somethings "rebel" against their own treatment. That is where having good family and social support helps.

The itchy ans scratchy feelings you describe may be a conditions known as acanthosis nigricans---that is a darkening of the skin, especially the skin fold of fat and diabetic patients. Microscopically, this a part of the skin with reduced blood supply due to the excess fat, and subsequent colonization by fungi organisms.
If you identift these blackend spots on your body, a temporary relief might be achieved with local antifungals, but the long term cure is to loose weight and keep your sugar under control. If your sugar is controlled your eyes might improve a little, you will reduce chances of ulcers on your legs, etc.

So, if you don't already have it, get hold of finger stick kits to check your sugar at least 1-2 times a day, keep up with your regular doctor's visit, and eat proper diet, take your medications, and nobody would even know that you'r diabetic.

If you're not fat, but there're some dark spots that itch, then you simply have to apply some antifungal on the area 2x a day, for about 60. If the itching is intenified by eating certain food, you maybe allergic to those foods, try avoiding them if you can. Try going to show this spots to your doctor and see what he says.

Doc,
I need your assistance or advice. Let me start from the beginning. I have been unable to perceive (smell) things for years now. I have visited about 3 doctors and no remedy.

But what’s actually bothering me now is that I have catarrh and one most time one of my nose is blocked. This has been going on for about 4 months now. I tried treating it myself and when it didn’t go I visited a different Doc and he prescribe some,
- Nasal drops
- Guronsan
- And an antibiotics I can’t remember.


Its over a month after taking this medications yet I sneeze at intervals, a nose is still blocked, I can't still smell and people complain that they can hear my breathing.

What can I do?

@ naijaking, other doctors, pls help , My Cretinine Level Clearance Is 60 On A scale Of [70-130] What Does This Mean?

A creatinine clearance level of 60 on a scale of 70-130, means that your glomerular filtration rate, ie the rate at which your kidney filters out toxic substances is low.
This creatinine clearance level is calculated from blood and 24-hour urine specimens, and could be affected by many possible errors along the way.
It also depends on your age, the older you're the lower your level. It also depends on many other disease states. My recommendation is go back to your doctor and go over everything again, so that you can be sure the results are correct.

@ adetunrayo: seems ur mum is diabetic, hmmm?
