AmbulatoryMedic:


It could be a number of things. Firstly you need to take him for eye test to rule out vision problem as a cause of his headaches. Does he wear glasses?. If you shine a light into his eyes in a dark room , what do you see?
How long has he been having this headaches?
How is he at school?. Does he go through any stress at school?

Hi
There is nothing like chronic malaria or typhoid. What symptoms were you having when you had these tests?
The test showed you have antibodies against salmonella antigens. It is difficult to tell if this is past or current infection in the absence of any clinical details

Hi,
Food getting stuck can be a symptom of many things.
1) Does this occur with solid or liquid food or both?. *solid-perhaps because i eat in a rush way back*[
2) What happens when food gets stuck?. Any vomiting?*NO* Abdo pain?.. *NO*
3) Any breathing problems?*NO* But i noticed i use to have one nose hole blockage at seldom but when i use Vicks inhaler, it subsides
4) Which Medications are you on?. *Am on NATRIXAM 1.5/5mg which i use based on my blood pressure readings*
5) Any previous medical problems? *I was once diabetic but i am no more again. I am still hypertensive. There was a time i had a very chronic headache and head hotness. It was then my doc recomended CAFERGOT pill which got me rekindled but i noticed it was since i used this cafergot that i started to experience this food stuck sensation in throat/chest (without chest pain). I have used ULSAKIT and some acidic blockers pills but i am not getting the best result that i want. Currently, i use Bicarbonate Soda when the stuck is getting out of hands(which makes me better) but i dont want this sensation to be what i will be nursing, i want to eradicat it totally and that is why i am seeking this help.*

Hi
Did you have any fever?.
Was the pain in one eyes or both eyes?
Were your eyes red?
Were you vision affected?
Were your nose runny?.
Depending on the cause of your symptoms, Lora tadine should be sufficient if caused by allergic rhinosinusitis

Hi Tayomi
Having morning pain can be a sign of many things,
1) what does the pain feel like and how long does it last for?
2) what relieves the pain?
3) Are you a man or woman? What is your occupation?
4) Do you have pain anywhere else in other joints?
5) what have you tried for the pain?

Tayomi37:

[b]

It sounds like either of the following 1) sciatica 2) osteoarthritis 3) Inflammatory arthritis.
.
The sharp nature of the pain and your previous prolonged bike travel is highly consistent with sciatica related symptoms.
The pain on movement is suspicious for osteoarthritis.
The morning related pain is consistent with inflammatory arthritis.
The next step is you need an X-ray of your pelvis and knees to get a diagnosis and rule out other things.
You can try naproxen and omeprazole for pain.



Thanks so much Dr for your response.

Are you a man or woman?
1 I'm a man 43yrs +

what does the pain feel like and how long does it last for?
2 The pain usually starts from my left hip joint down to my knee joint, the left tigh bone pains me seriously (it's a continuous sharp one) it happens in the morning and it comes and go during the day and also at night continuously.

what relieves the pain?
3 I can't really say because I have taken various drugs even amongst them are calcium D3, Felvin, I've used diclofenac even I'm using blood tonic, multivitamin and anti malaria. I even bought balm to massage the place

6 Yes, I felt pain on the other joint but it can hardly be felt I can hardly notice it but my major trouble is that left tigh because I find it unbearable, sometimes to turn while I'm lying down prove difficult I'm even on daily exercise daily body exercise now

Thanks doc. I used the loratidine till I got better...both eyes were aching and fever also...no runny nose..just a little cough...just couldn't look at things for long .. really appreciate it

ShugaFly:
Hello Doctor, I have been feeling Mild pains from the left part of my belly , and my Belly keeps Beating as if there is something moving in it ,
My temperature also gets so high in the evening and I feel so weak
But it calms down in the night ...
Any Thoughts please

AmbulatoryMedic:



Sounds like a mixed picture of infectious and allergic conjunctivitis.
If no further fever, just continue with loratadine. Also regularly wash your eyes/face with cool water to relieve your symptoms of achy eyes. The cough should subside with time.

Leem54:
Hello Doctor, pls i have been having bacterial overgrowth over time now, and i have been prescribed amoxicillin 1g but i notice it gets better after treatment but after like 10-14 days after treatment it keeps reoccurring. Is that normal?
I also experience symptoms like stomach pain, purging and too much gas which smells bad.
Pls help i have been using antibiotics continuously
Hope to hear from you soon

Your swallowing issue could be due to 1) Dry mouth. 2) oesophagus narrowing due to long-standing acid reflux. 3) A mechanical obstruction in your throat. THIS NOTED. WHAT CAN I NOW DO?

Does the problem occur at the top when you eat food or at the bottom of your throat as the food goes down?IT OCCOURS LET SAY AT MIDDLE OF THROAT PIPE

Cafergot has caffeine aswell which can also cause dry mouth. Do you take it regularly?. If yes you need to keep a closer eye on your BP. I DONT TAKE THE CAFERGOT REGULARLY. I ONLY TAKE WHEN I EXPERIENCE CRAZY HEADACHE WHICH I HAVE NOT EVEN EXPERIENCED FOR OVER 6-7MONTHS NOW

The definitive investigation is an OGD to look inside your throat and stomach. IS THE OGB SAME AS ENDOSCOPY OR WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY OGD?

CURRENTLY, I AM FEELING MILD CHEST PAIN, NECK ACHE AND MINTY SENSATION FROM MY THROAT WHEN I LIE DOWN. OR DOES POSTURE CAUSE THE ABOVE FEELINGS because I FACE DOWN ALOT AT WORK WHILE WORKING. LATELY, I ENSURE I EXERCISE THE HEAD-NECK AT INTERVALS

what is the way forward please, doc?

AmbulatoryMedic:


Hi Leem
Am not sure what you mean by having bacterial overgrowth as it can mean two different diagnosis like helicobacter pylori gastritis or small intestine bacteria overgrowth. Which one were you diagnosed with?.
I also wonder if you are having symptoms of c.difficile based on your recurrent antibiotic use. I think you need to follow up with your GP

Leem54:


Thank you for response Doctor, it is helicobacter pylori gastritis that was suspected because i also do have heartburn and indigestion frequently.

WishfulProtege:
Hi Doctor, please I have this kind of thing on my laps since a very long time, could you please tell me what it is and how to get rid of it, perhaps?

AmbulatoryMedic:


Thanks. The question is if you actually have h pylori, you can get tested for it in a lab but having the bacteria doesn’t mean it is causing your symptoms. If it is truly h pylori that is causing your symptoms, treatment should have worked unless you didn’t take your medications fully or something else is causing your symptoms.
OGD is also called endoscopy and it will provide better explanation for your symptoms.

AmbulatoryMedic:


Is it itchy? Do you have it anywhere else?. It looks fungal to me vs dry skin

Thank you for responding Doctor, you know at some point i thought so too that if it is h pylori it should have cleared away with treatment. I even used elicorid the three regimen drug. So i have been wondering that with a lot gas and bloating and reoccurrence.... it might be small intestine bacterial overgrowth.
But i will try to follow your suggestion of the OGD. It is just that most Doctors i visit do not prescibe it for me. All the prescribe is antibiotics again.
Thank you once more!

WishfulProtege:



Not itchy Sir and I don't have anywhere apart from my thighs. How do I get it treated? Its been long there.

2Ballz:

You may want to grade this pain: Severe, moderate, and mild.
You may also want tell us how this pain has affected your general input to your daily activity.

Alright. It is not a terrible one especially if the concerned pain is just being felt along the last finger.
Is this pain of dull nature? Appear to come like a needle prick?

These tips may be helpful:
1) It would not take that long to heal if you rest that wrist. So let the wrist have some rest.
2) Apply both warm and cold compress on the wrist. Warm compress only is nice but alterations of the temperature around your pains will help it more.
3) Take fruits and vitamins along with your balance diet. Ensure that your meal carries enough of calcium, magnesium and phosphate minerals.
4) Roll a band over the wrist. This will reduce activities around the wrist.
5) Book with a massaging home for a special forearm/wrist/hand massage.
6) Do an X-ray of the wrist to know what could be out of place.
7) See a physical doctor if the pain has been for a 1-3 months with no reduction.

Good morning to all dr.s in the house. God bless you guys exceedingly for all the free help you are rendering here although doesn't seem like it but millions of people like me both on nairaland and offline looking for help online before consulting a dr really appreciate you all. Thank you


Please I have a very big issue I'm battling now, and I ll be grateful if I can get any advice or suggestions of what is going on cause am getting really worried somewhat... PLEASE GUYS NEVER GO TO 500# BROTHEL AGAIN, IM BEGGING PLEASE, ITS DEMEANING AND FULL OF HORROR STORIES

My issue : in my usual wayward way I went ahead to the most stupid 500 nairaland brothel I could find , initially tried looking for someone clean even lost some money in the process , eventually I settled for a woman ( should be in a her 40s, but I figured she's clean cause she's lightskin ( another stupid decision )

I noticed she tried to touch my dick (like trying to infect me with something on purpose ) but disguised as trying to rub my dick/put on a condom, however after few minutes penetrating (I used a condom) I complained about not feeling anything while penetrating and she immediately vexed and stood up (I didn't finish )
While putting her clothes on she said something like "you have collected something" in her igboish yoruba dialect and this really got me worried.

However stupidly again cause I didn't finish , I went to another cheap brothel but a better class , where you can only get at 500# with good negotiating skills, I finished up (used a condom again, but she used a tissue to remove the condom while slipping it downwards, maybe I might have had contact with her fluid in the process?) under few minutes going home feeling very stupid

Fast forward 3 days later, I noticed I have this very slight sensation on my penis, like the penis is inflamed a little on the tip, not sharp at all , but very dull with no discharge. I also notice I have this burning sensation after ejaculation once and i sometimes feel cramp in my stomach with a very slight tingling sensation sometimes in the penis, The skin around the tip is also crumpled , it's been a month now and I still experience the slight sensation ( is like a feeling of using very small bit of Robb ( not Aboniki ) on the area around the penis while the penis slightly rub on it causing a sensation of having an irritant soap in your pee hole )

Help diagnose please, I really need to narrow it down to know the specific test I will be going for as against just doing random series of test which will be very expensive

I went for HIV test too, but will be going again at 12 weeks


No discharge, no blisters, doesn't scratch, just those symptoms in the first few days and now the slight rubbing somewhat cold sensation , can't really describe, but I don't think it's normal .. help please, thanks.
