Bacteria

My gums have been bleeding on my lower front four teeth for the past couple of days. Now I have started using listerine, it seemed to be working but now I have white soft scabs appearing where the gums were bleeding. I thought it was bacteria but every time I clean them off the gums it starts bleeding again. Any advice on what I should do?

you may need scaling .visit your dentist ...

42 yo female. I have an approx. pencil eraser sized lumped on my right tonsil that is flesh colored and in which I can see the veins in. There is a spot of white on the front of the lump I'm thinking could be bacteria. My concern with the lump is that it appears more as a hemroid would, a lump pushed through the skin wall, not as a lump sitting on the skin wall. I have used a q-tip to investigate the lump with no change. It is near the top of the side of my throat above the tonsil where the throat is starting to curve up. It is smooth all around this spot with only this lump coming down from the wall of my throat there, and the flesh color and veins match that of the smooth skin surrounding it.

Hi, Try not to worry too much. There are many conditions associated with bulging neck veins, enlarged or swollen glands & lump or bulge. Tell us if you have history of smoking in past, sudden weight loss, bad breath, sore throat, hoarseness,fever or pain during swallowing. Most probably it is just an infection or tonsillolith(tonsil stone) and both of them are easily curable. We are here to help and support you through this. Feel free to ask further questions. ...

I have some internal puss formation on my inner thigh area at the junction with the testicle balls. This may have been due to bacteria due to V-shaped underwears. I applied Quadriderm lotion but not to much use. Pleae suggest some capsules or tablets for the same. There is no external visibility of red sign or blister on the pus, just accumulation beneath the skin.

Hi, An antibiotic can be prescribed, but not without looking at your illness. What is it actually which you are saying it to be pus, needs to be looked into. I would also advice you to go to a doctor in emergency as soon as possible, this may be serious. ...

my dad did a test for leptospirosis a week after exposure to contaminated water, the result is negative. I have read articles saying that incubation period of the bacteria is up to 3 weeks. Is it possible to become positive even if the first test is negative? 2 or 3 weeks after exposure, my dad got fever, headache, muscle pain, swollen ankle (I dont know if it's because of his gout. his uric acid result is at 420). He said that it is just flu. He had his urine test recently, color: yellow orange. transparency: slightly turbid. reaction: acidic ph 6.0. specific gravity: 1.030. sugar: negative. albumin: trace. RBC: 4-6/HPF. PUS CELL: 1-3/HPF. CAST: NONE FOUND. crystals: amorphous urates few. epithelial cells: rare. mucous threads: +++. bacteria: rare. Can this urine test result determine if he has leptospirosis?? Can this urine test result determine of his kidney is fine? What does 4-6 /hpf mean? thank you very much for your answer.

Hi, the clinical feature of your father is suspicious. Leptospirosis may sometimes present with fever and muscle pain. There is RBC in the urine which is also abnormal. I suggest you to repeat the antibody and urine test. And don't bother to visit a doctor if the fever worsen. Thanks ...

Hi. I'm nikkz. 2 months ago I suffered from diarrhea and dehydration and nausea so we decided to go to the hospital just to check then they found out that I had an amoeba then I was confined for 3days with metronidazole 500mg. 3x a day and omeprazole because I'm acidic. Then after I was discharged, i feel like im not yet okey because I experienced fatigueness, nausea, chills and so on. After 3 days I went to another clinic near our house then the dr said the amoeba gave an ulcer/wound so He gave me antacid, dicycloverine,omeprazole,rhanitidine, ofloxacin for anti bacterial, metronidazole syrup only for kids then i was injected flacil, buscopan and antibiotic every 2 weeks i guess??? The doctor said the amoeba or bacteria gave me an ulcer/wound. Peptic ulcer. So i need to drink those Medicines he gave me because maybe of ulcerative colitis??Then after weeks still i feel like im bloated, nausea, and my stool is not hard, then i heard my stomach they are so loud. Then when I poop i experience flatulence then I was advised to drink yakult. For one day, I drink almost 10bottles of yakult. Then after a week I experienced diarrhea again watery stool. 3-4-5x a day. I feel like im dehydrated again so i decided to look for another doctor so he checked my stool then there's no parasite but theres puss cells 1-2 and red blood cells 2-4 then he said i have a bacteria. I drank or ate dirty. So he prescribed me to drink bacterim 800/60mg. 2x a day. Its my first day to drink bacterim but watery stool and this morning. I already pooped 2x watery. What will I do? I experiencing nausea and a little bit nervous.
