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?
Hello I’m 21 weeks pregnant I’ve got reddish ring circles come up on my head neck chest what are they ? They go and come back each week
I have two red puncture marks on my foot in two places with a blister around them there sore and itchy I suspect a house spider bite, I’m also 37 weeks pregnant
This is so embarrassing, but recently I have had pubic lice (crabs) from sexual activity. I have used lice shampoo multiple times ,have went through two bottles of lice shampoo on myself in about 2 weeks, and have shaved all hair from the waist down, including pubic,leg hair etc. the itch won’t stop it has been almost a month now, and I’m beginning to wonder if the crabs are still there ,because I have used itching creams and it itches still even then. do you know what might could get rid of the itch for good?
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,

I think I may have bacterial Vaginosis but am not sure. I recently had a new sexual partner, (always with protection apart from once for a few seconds) and also recently came off of my period once leaving a tampon in for too long overnight. Since these events I have noticed a thick white discharge which smells fishy and metallic accompanied by some itching around the vaginal entrance. I am using canesten for the itch but am not sure how to solve the rest of the problem. I am very prone to thrush but it’s never had an odour before and the discharge is thicker. I am also slightly concerned that it could be gonorrhea. I am currently traveling in Cambodia so it is difficult for me to have access to good health care.
Dear Doctor, Please help. My 3 Year Old boy has fever. He feels pain at abdomen. Coughs. Vomits whatever eats. Really gone weak. Fever since 6 days. Sometime Fever sometimes not. I am really worried. Please help.
I was diagnosed with a candida albicans in May, I used emergency contraceptives as at then but I treated it with ciprofloxacin antibiotic. I also started using cotton pants, took care of my vagina too. Then last month July, I went to the clinic and retook the test hoping it would come out clean. Then they said I have a staph infection. It was moderate and I took the same antibiotics they prescribed. I did not have any symptoms but I treated it any way. Then, earlier this month, I had cattarh which I also treated with an antibiotic. Now, I am four days late from seeing my period. I am very scared, I don’t think I am pregnant because I check with a strip 2 days ago and it tested negative. I’m just very scared because I feel it was the infection that is delaying my period and its messing with my system inside. How dangerous are staph infections, and why have I not seen my period?
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!
For approximately three months, I have been having sharp, stabbing chest pains on the right side. They occur behind my breast, towards my back and only when lying down. Sometimes I have a tightness when not lying down. I have kept a food journal and have not identified any correlations. I have had a chest x ray and and ultrasound and both showed nothing. I have had bloodwork done for celiac, my pancrease and just general work ups and all my levels are find. I have an endoscopy next week. A round of prilosec did not help nor do anti-inflammatories. My PCP does not appear super concerned and is not best at outreaching me when results come in. I did see a GI specialist, who thinks this is not GI related. What other directions should I go in
What is wrong with me?
Symptoms began: 9 months ago
Symptoms detail:
I have passed out 8 times since November of last year. I also have had an unexplained weight loss of 20lbs. I was in the hospital for 2 nights this week, they did an ECHO a stress test, an electrolyte workup, and a urinary analysis. I have also had an MRI, countless EKGs, an EEG, and had a ZIO patch. All have come back negative. I have seen a neurologist and a cardiologist. I have continued working with my therapist but she doesn’t think that these are related to psychological problems. It’s frustrating because this has significantly impacted my functioning as I lost a scholarship and can’t attend school without it.
Directly after the stress test I fainted. They were able to get my blood pressure which was normal and my heart rate, a bit accelerated but returning to normal. It was rather easy for me to get my pulse up to 199. I feel like it’s almost TOO easy to get my heart rate to accelerate… when I stand up my pulse will race to 120-130. The nurse made a note that I had stiff muscles during the faint which lasted 4 minutes. This time, when I passed out I was aware of everything happening around me but was too weak/unable to respond. I had a headache directly after coming too, which was sensitive to sound and light.
On Monday I passed out twice and felt VERY fatigued. Upon regaining consciousness the second time I felt as if an elephant was sitting in the middle of my chest, 7/10 and taking deep breaths exacerbated the problem . I typically feel a bit disorientated and as if the room is spinning but not in any pain after I pass out. My left leg felt tingly and 10ish minutes after passing out as the paramedics evaluated me my left shoulder felt like I had pulled it, and was in pain 8.75/10. The chest pain dulled out and was no longer noticeable 10 hours later when I was admitted to the hospital. also upon arousing my vision remained cloudy and dark, as well as being sensitive to light.
The night after I pass out I typically experience lower back pain and pain in the right side of the neck, but this might be related to the stress of fainting.

Personal medical history:
I was born with congenital hypotonia. I am diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome. I also have hypothyroidism. This was my first time being hospitalized.
I had a turbinate reduction surgery in may 2016. And when i was little ear tubes were placed in 2000.
i have an allergy to latex and had a bad reaction to steroids.
Family medical history:
My family is relatively healthy with 2 of my great-grandmothers living past 90, all of my grandparents and their siblings are still living. my grandfather has some heart problems but I am unaware of what it is exactly. no sudden or cardiac related deaths.
Personal lifestyle:
I used to be a student at the University of Portland but lost my scholarship due to this illness. I had attended a very prestigious and rigorous high school and never had any problems, even while taking classes for college credit (VIA. the AP program). I never smoked or drank alcohol. There is absolutely no chance that I am pregnant as I abstain from sex. I am as innocent as they come with no bad habits. I exercise regularly on the treadmill walking a mile every day for 15 minutes and walk all over campus, but would definitely not call myself athletic. I eat a normal diet, though will not be the first to admit that I could eat better, with the occasional doughnut, ice cream and cupcake thrown in.
Diagnostic or imaging test abnormalities:
Innumerable tests have been performed without any abnormalities being found. Had countless EKGs without any abnormalities, standard blood and urine workup with nothing, every time I went to the ER (7 times now). Wore a Zio patch for 2 weeks and did not experience an episode during that time. Have had an ECHO and stress test done, with nothing abnormal being found (aside from fainting directly after the stress test was performed). Had an EEG done and 2 MRIs one with contrast for the blood vessels.
Secondary or partial diagnoses:
palpitations
syncope
Personal struggle:
I have lost my scholarship because I went to the ER every week for 3 weeks. I can’t attend my school without it and until I feel confident in a solution to the problem, I don’t feel like I can productively return to my studies. Without my return to school insight, I have lost numerous friendships and my first boyfriend. I used to be a strong believer in God but with all that is happening I truly doubt that he would do this to someone who has been nothing but faithful to him.
My urine is dark yellow and its high in odor, it’s been this way a few months now.
Can you please tell me what may be my problem
I have a big wound on side of my foot, yellow pus,liquid flowing out always, tried antibiotics 10 days no help blood sugar ok help please.
