Question: Bleeding after frenuloplasty operation

Had a frenuloplasty operation 2 weeks ago. Last night when i was showering a significant amount of blood started to pour out of the area where the stitches are. I don’t remember bashing, knocking or even touching the area when i noticed the blood.

The area does seem a little more sensitive since, but wouldn’t say it was sore.

The doctors did say the stitches fully dissolved after 2 weeks so not sure if that could have anything to do with it ? should i be concerned ?

Question: White growth in my mouth?

Hello! Last night I was at a festival and tried a lot of food (including crickets!) and at the night, my throat started feeling funny. It felt a bit weird as I attempted to swallow. I woke up with the same feeling so I opened ny mouth and checked in the mirror and saw it! There was a white-ish thing on my throat! Should I be worried? What is it? What causes it and how do I get rid of it?

Question: Twins with Hydronephrosis, E. coli…need urography?

We have twin 18 years old sons (Robert & Anthony) & we are all british citizens living in Romania.
Last year Robert had a pain in his left side & after having an MRI scan with a contrast substance
was diagnosed as having Hydronephrosis in his left kidney due to a partially blocked ureter.
They said it was a defect from birth.
He had a laser operation on his ureter,a stent was inserted for 2 1/2 months.
This was removed in January this year, he has had no problems since so far.
The doctors did say that because he has a twin (Anthony) he also has most likely the same defect.
Anthony has had no problems & we were in the U.K. for the month of July.
The doctors here recommended that they both have a Urography done with contrasting substance.
When we mentioned that Anthony had a mild allergic reaction to penicillin whe he was a child
they would not do this Urography unless they both had a short course of drugs prior to this.
The drugs are Prednisone 5mg 10 @12hr before, 10 @ 7hr before & 10 @ 1hr before.
Tamalis 10mg 1 @ 12hr before & 1 @ 1hr before
Xyzal 5mg 1 @ 1hr before & 1 @ 1hr before
Famotida 40mg 1 @ 12hr before & 1 @ 1hr before
This seems so extreme to us
My wifes mother had Prednisone & she became ill & died, So she is totally against these drugs.
Now that we are back in Romania Anthony has said that his left side hurts a little bit now & again.
So we really want to check him over but as I said the doctors here will not do it without a precourse of drugs.
We have been to various allergists concerning Anthony.
I have paid for a private blood & urine tests & now he is not allergic to penicillin but now they say he has e coli.
All test/ analasis are done privately & with experience are not the most reliable.
They will not OK him for this simple urography.
Here in Romania the doctors are obsessed with antibiotics & medicines & we are so confused on what to do next.
I’m not sure how quickly we could get to see a doctor/urologist in England to have this Urograph done.
Anthony starts his final year of schooling here in 2 weeks & it is the hardest year for him.
Ironically next year starting September 2017 he wants to go to university in U.K.
If we can’t find anyone here then I intend to visit England for the urography.
Yours Sincerely,

Question: After taking Adderall, heart rate high, breathing hard, feeling dizzy?

I am 18. 160lb. 67 inches. I would say my resting heart rate is around 60.
I had taken 20mg IR Adderall for studying. About 4 hours later I went to play basketball. After about an hour of intense play, I decided to stop because my heart rate was unusually high (200+ bpm) and I was completely drained of energy, which was weird because I usually play for about 3 hours no problem. I laid down waiting for my bpm to drop back to normal but it stayed reasonably high. I was also still breathing really hard. After about 10 minutes I decided to sit up against a wall.

Then I started to feel very uncomfortable.
My torso, arms, and face were very tingly.
My hands were pretty numb (I struggled to hold on to my phone).
My chest felt tight.
I was still breathing hard.
I barely had the energy to keep my eyes open, and after about 25 minutes I decided to stand up and leave. When I got up I felt very disoriented and dizzy. I struggled to keep my balance as I walked to my car. I sat there for about 20 more minutes and when the symptoms toned a bit down I drove home (30 min). When I got out of my car to walk to my dorm (3 blocks away), my symptoms came rushing back. I was struggling to swallow my saliva. I had to stop every 50 feet or so to catch my breath. When I got to my room I sat in a chair for about 25 min and the tingling feeling in my face/arms/torso, went away but the tightness in my chest stayed. Every time I take a breath it feels like I can’t inhale my full capacity.
Is this issue possibly life threatening?

Question: Sporadic episodes of shortness of breath, feet and hands bright red?

Hello I am currently undiagnosed and am needing some advice/ possible diagnosis on my health. It started 9 years ago when I was admitted to ICU with Pericarditis, Pleural Effusion, Cardiac Tamponade. My symptoms only started about a week before admission- extreme fatigue, Spardiac episodes of SOB, low grade Temp. I ended up having pericardial window, > 500cc drained from around my heart. I was in the hospital for about 3 weeks and was told by the different specialists that they didn’t have a diagnosis- didn’t know what caused it. I was told my labs were ok except my CXR showed a large granuloma in my lung. Again they don’t know why I had a granuloma and they said that it was nothing to worry about. Well one physician said he would “bet” I had Lupus. A few weeks after being discharged I had episode of chest pain and shortness of breath. Again I was told everything came back normal. I had 2 more episodes of the same symptoms with same answers except this time they were going to try Ibuprofen and Colchicine. I stayed on the medication for about 3 months and my symptoms seemed to go away. I was discharged from cardiology and medication changed to PRN. I only had a few episodes of chest pain and shortness of breath for 7 years. Then about a year ago I started experiencing joint issues- ankle, feet, and hand and wrist. I had difficult time walking, and nodule appeared on thumb joint- X-rays showed no fractures and was finally referred to a Rheumatologist. I was at appointment and my feet and hands were bright red- looked like I had burned, and felt that way too. They had no idea what was wrong either- I have had Raynauds episodes in the past but my hands would always be cold and blue and when I got them warmed up – they still felt cold. I had never felt like my hands and feet were on fire, swollen. Labs were done and the only a normal level was my ACE test. My burned hands/ feet symptoms continued regularly everyday. When I went back for F/U appt. Rheumatologist still didn’t know what was wrong but did say she “thought” I had Sjogrens ( can’t spell-sorry) but I thought a high ACE could indicate Sarcoidosis? She did do a repeat CXR and granuloma was still present and large with no changes- I was put on plaquenil bid. I had some lab work about a month ago- only abnormal was a high RBC – and still no diagnosis. I almost gave up that day trying to figure out what was going on with me- but now I’m starting to have sporadic episodes of shortness of breath. I honestly don’t know where to turn to or what to do anymore. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Question: I have Typhoid since last 15 days

Hi, I have Typhoid since last 15 days. Earlier my doctor treated me for viral and when no signs of improvement were seen I was given a course of typhoid medication which lasted 1 week with little improvement like earlier I used to have fever around 100-103 all day and I had to take a Dolo 650 every 5 hrs to keep it down. Now I take half Dolo 650 twice a day and the fever is also around 100.
My 3 days back widal test reports show that
Typhi o – 1/160
Typhi h- 1/160
Ah- 1/80
Bh- 1/40
My earlier reports were the same that were taken 10 days back, just the AH value was 1/40.
I think the doctor is just trying to mint money from me as he working in the hospital and I have to visit him because I was admitted last month for hemolysis due to medicinal reaction caused by g6pd deficiency in blood. I think he is lootng me because the chemist told me that the new medicines given by him are better and I would see immediate relief.
Also, the doctor said we will admit him if he doesn’t gets well in 5 days.

The medicines in earlier prescription are
Omnapil 200- twice a day
Vsl3 bd – once a day
Oflox 200- twice a day

The medicine in newer prescription are-

Vencid Dsr- once a day
Oflin 200- twice a day
Ceftum 500 – twice a day

Please tell me is my treatment going right? I have heard that ciprofloxacin is given in typhoid so that the bacteria in gall bladder is killed and the Typhoid doesn’t come back again. Please tell me as this hospital has already taken a lot of money from me and now I cannot trust them woth my health as i feel they treat patients like costumers.
Help!
