the cause of pink eye are many and its better be examined by an ophthalmologist.
the eye drop has expired in june 2013, it can't be used.
any eye drop once opened shouldn't be used beyond 1 month.

Dr. Pradeep Sheth answered : 11 years ago

No . Not all pink eye needs drops. You need to describe the problem with little more details like if the eye sticks, burns, itches etc.

Dr. SANJAY KUMAR SHARMA answered : 11 years ago

Pink eye has many reason so consult any professional and must use glass if needed and lubricants eye drop if using computer. But NEVER use expired drug.

Dr. HARJEET SINGH answered : 11 years ago

Donot use eye drops after opening it beyond 1 month. See an ophthalmologist for the pink eye

My husband age 65 had to have his lower left wisdom tooth removed because there was a cavity on the tooth before the wisdom tooth. The original doctor only removed the tooth November 26, 2012, was given Norco for pain and recommended to take ibuprofen for pain. My husband had pain, and swelling. Original dentist packed the tooth with a special pack. Husband also applied clove oil. He talked to oral surgeons. Went to another surgeon and was given steroids, and antibiotics. My husband had dry socket and the hole was not closing up. So the new surgeon recommended a water pick and brushing the area vigorously to stimulate circulation. THe hole is closing up. Also, a root tip was found and had to be removed which added new pain. My husband is trying to not taking Norco anymore and trying to reduce ibuprofen. But pain level is 1-3 with twinges in jaw. It's been 8 wks. Is that normal? The original wisdom tooth had fused to the bone and had to be sawed in half to be removed. The cavity still hasn't been filled due to other pain.

Doctor's Answer

Hello Doc, My periods delayed by 7 days, so i took a pregnancy test using the kit available in the market. It showed C and T lines to be pink confirming pregnancy. But as I was not in a shape to have a baby, I took two pills of regulin forte to abort it. After three days, I had heavy vaginal discharge for half an hour and then it stopped completely.Now after 7 days I undertook the same test again, this time C was dark pink and T was pale pink.. what should I do now. kindly advice.

Doctor's Answer

Hi!! The pregnancy test can remain positive for uptil 2 weeks after an abortion. To rule out if pregnancy is completely aborted or not,so please get a serum beta hcg test done.This is a blood test that that checks the same hormone of pregnancy in the blood that the urine test checks. A beta hcg test is done in all laboratories and the results are usually available after few hours. The beta hcg test in serum( blood) if more than 5 indicates pregnancy,so maybe your pregnancy is not completely abor ...

an expired calpol 500 mg, expired sept 2012 has been taken now. what is the treatment to be given

Doctor's Answer

Hi, Usually expired calpol does not have serious serious side effects,the expired drug is just reduced in efficiency . You should just look that you don't have any expired antibiotic cause that can be serious. If in case you have any mild rashes or something you can take a cetrizine 5mg for that and reaction should usually subside,however if there is any difficulty in breathing or heavy rashes then you may consult a doctor for that. However I believe that is not the case with you. ...

Doctor's Answer

Hi, The pain in lower abdominal area which you are felling near your uterus is not necessary,that there is some pathology in your uterus only.Pain can also be accompanied with loose motions in that area and you also might be having some kind of urinary infection which might be causing that pain(the pain would wean of as soon your intestinal infection gets better and your discharge seems to reduce). Creamy white discharge should be due to fungal or yeast infection only, Apply that cream candid b ...
