I experienced trauma to my right hand, Is it possible for this injury to heal without surgery?

I experienced trauma to my right hand, and now the tendon over my middle knuckle slips
whenever I slowly release a clenched fist. Besides the slight pain that comes with that,
there are only bruises which aren’t too painful.

Is it possible for this injury to heal without surgery? Is there a way to speed up the recovery process?

I had an ENT exam and the specialist did not use gloves?

I had an ENT exam and the specialist did not use gloves. The tubing the second time she went up my nose was touched at the bottom by her hand at the light. I should have stopped her and am beating myself up. I am ocd and PANICKED ! and watched this happen but somehow trusted her as she is well respected. She had used hand sanitizer she claims prior when she came in but shook my hand afterwards having been at another doctors and registering my thumbprint on the check in but I did use hand sanitizer twice but was holding a plastic cup from the water cooler) and then did the procedure the second time having touched the tip of the scope with her fingers. She wrote back she will change her ways and seemed unconcerned for my health. The pcp is under the same system and told me “not to worry” but agreed to do the testing I want. What tests should I have? Should i wait to get symptoms? I again am not sure she even used sanitizer. I am asking the pcp to do an hiv and Mrsa test. What else major should I have her test for? Hep C? I was not vaccinated against Hep B. Please help. It has been 48 hours and I feel okay.

How to get rid of a bad headache and nausea?

I have had a constant headache for about 2 weeks now. This morning I stood up with a huge headache, cant even handle the pain anymore. I ate a piece of chocolate cake (Which I Love) I felt nausea since now. Yesterday my breasts were so sore I could not even wear a tight shirt. Been having tummy aches now and then, but nothing serious since now. Also I have very bad backache, but it could be a result of my chair I sit on at work, not quite sure what the reason is for it.

Can someone please advise on what I can do to get rid of this bad aches and this nausea.

THANK YOU

Suffering from magnesium supplements overdose?

My husband has been taking magnesium supplements as a pre-workout regimen for approximately 2 months. He is 43 years old, healthily, and active. He told me yesterday, he has been taking 2000mg of magnesium daily, without realizing this is above the daily recommended value of 350mg. He began experiencing loose stool/diarrhea symptoms this weekend, not severe, but noticeable. He has not shown any other symptoms. Is this something that he should have checked or will his body naturally flush the magnesium from his system? Is there something we can do to reverse the effects of the magnesium more quickly? Thank you!

Is spider spray dangerous for my health?

So I recently moved to Texas, and as the saying goes “Everything is bigger in Texas,” including spiders. I moved into a house in Kyle in a development that is kind of in the country. I am terrified of spiders, especially the brown recluse, given all the horror stories about their bite and biting people in their sleep. Wolf spiders are a problem in this house, and yesterday, I killed the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life (not sure what it was, but it was terrifying!) in the garage. Prior to all of this, I sprayed the perimeter of the house twice with Ortho Home Defense, and my bedroom at least 5, if not 6 times. (Not all in the same day, but over the coarse of several days). While spraying the small, carpeted room, I had the door closed and no windows open because I didn’t want to let spiders in. I didn’t even give it any thought that I may be breathing it in because my anxiety completely took over. I slept in there for a week then I went on vacation for 3 weeks. When I came back, there were at least 4 or 5 dead little spiders on the carpet. I feel safe that the poison is doing it’s job at killing at least the small spiders, but now I am freaking out that I may have given myself cancer or the risk of cancer because I sprayed so much and didn’t ventilate the room properly, even though I left after spraying. I am a healthy (as far as I know), active 31 year old female. Should I be concerned or how concerned should I be? And is it still safe to sleep in the room because even though I feel a little more protected from the spiders, I’m afraid of breathing in the poison anymore. What should I do? Thank you so much for your help.

Is it bad to always take antibiotics?

Hi Doc,
Is it bad to always take antibiotics? This year I have taken 3 courses of Augmentin. Ever since I did my radiotherapy 4 years ago on my nose, I seem to catch bacteria flu quite easily. It will start with lots and lots of greenish mucus coming out from my nostril and then I will get a very cough soon enough. It is the same every time.I always needed Augmentin to recover fully. But after 3 months or so I will get the same thing over again . . I am worried that Augmentin will not be able to work one day as the bacteria may become more resistant. I am currently down with the same thing but have not gone to see a doctor yet.. I am 100% positive that it is another bacteria attack, Should I go for another course of Augmentin? I have taken so many courses and I am getting worried. I am thinking of doing a yearly flu jab once I recover. Will the flu jab protects me from further attacks
