Good afternoon Dr, male, late twenty..

I had sore throat some weeks back, took drugs prescribed by doctors and it worked. I have been sweating excessively throughout the day especially after doing little work even after walking a certain distance. Loss of appetite, I haven't been eating, pain sometimes in both hands, leg , and excessively reducing in weight.

No symptoms of fever that I notice.
Temperature, normal.
BP 120/80.



I have done hiv, hepatitis B, C last month all negative.. I have been taking prescribed drugs but I'm still losing weight. Please what could be wrong with me? And what test do I still need to carry out?

Used Axerem (azithromycin) and loratadine for the sore throat.

Marcflic, P-alaxin-Ts, paracetamol to treat malaria.

Your abdominal ultrasound went fine except for collection of fluids between your large intestines and the walls of your abdomen. That is for ascites. Ascitic fluid can be linked to many factors. Then another impression in your result is a swollen liver leading from a liver containing extra fats. This may or may not be responsible ascites aside of infection.
These are not just enough to explain your numbness at your right lower trunk. But I think if you will improve as to seek to known by furtherance of test and scans what could have lead to fluid accumulating in your abdomen and fats in your liver, this may help to solve other problems that may come from these and the one at hand.

Thyroid function test is to know have knowledge of your thyroid activities and to know if a low thyroid activity could have responsible for this.
A low blood sugar can come up with such complaints too. So, it is necessary to know blood glucose for the now, though I feel it is okay.
WBC and RBC count and differentials is to know if there are any cases of anemia, infection or even allergy.

Thanks a lot

I did urine test

Culture yielded: yielded scanty growth of staphylococcus specie after 24hrs incubation at 37°c

Also....no hepatitis

Malaria seen with typhoid also.....

I have to cut off alcohol totally I guess

Babysuccess02:
OK. thanks doc.

2Ballz:

How are you doing now? Do you mean menstrual migraine?

Gulher:
yes sir menstrual migraine. It has gone away except a little occasional faint headache. The chest pain just started going away. When i feel the gas trying to come out, the chest gets tighter. But i burp when i walk around and when i drink water and it hurts when i swallow or inhale deeply. I've been using antacid.

2Ballz:

Is this your first time experiencing a migraine during or after your menstruation? What did you use to reduce symptoms?

The chest pain came soon as you started the treatment for the migraine headache or, it was something associating with it before treatment?

Do you have problem with indigestion or peptic ulcer disease before now?

2Ballz:


Treat your malaria and typhoid;put a stop to your alcohol drinking and one month later, you may try to run a Plasma cholesterol profile to know how much it has improved. It is normal to have a scanty growth of staphylococcus aureus even in the most healthy person. Don't bother about that.

You will be fine. I am positive about it.

exclusivelyholy:

wormlike movement in the body, internal heat, boils at the private part, general weakness , same symptoms with me.

Nheeeky1:
Hi Doc, please I would like to know if a female (not sexually active) have to do the pap smear test before getting HPV vaccine. Thank you

Emily22:


Thanks a lot,I ll quote you back..

My nurse will start my treatment for malaria and typhoid today...the liquid stuff(drip) for the next 5 days..

Thanks a lot once again

Gulher:
My period always comes with migraines before, during, and after. I took paracetamol for a few days before it went.

The chest pain came after i ate beans while lying down a week ago. I dont think it is related to the migraine.

I dont know about ulcer but I've experienced indigestion and what think is acid reflux after eating certain things but never serious. It just goes away on its own. This is the longest duration and the first time i have had to take medication

2Ballz:


What if you were open to the idea of prophylaxis to this migraine before your menstrual bleeding comes just as a prevention?

Since you have started having such things, If I were you I would have myself open to have a simple Urease breathe test for Helicobacter pylori to know if this can complicate to Peptic ulcer disease.

In other hand, when this episode of indigestion comes again don't use an antacid, either use any of those drugs as Cimetidine, Famotidine or Ranitidine. The use of Proton pump Inhibitor and Antibiotics is also a great idea.

These should be taken on prescription bases.

doctors in the house. What is the cause of this? I suspected it to be whitlow but I was told that it wasn't.

Balogun:
you are doing all the right things. People dont seem to appreciate how much fluid you lose even with the slightest fever. Eating well gives the viruses the chance to live out their own life quicker. Good hydration, vitamins and carbohydrate is all you need. There is an obsession for antibiotics even in the uk. They now have problems with methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus known as MRSA.

Is it giving you pains?
Itching?
How old is that?
Does it contain pus? Or an ordinary blister?
