Hi
I would really grateful if you can read this and help me.It is getting irritating day by day.
On 26 May I was diagnosed with typhoid fever. My widal test result looked like :
for typhi O 1:30 to 1:120 was +ve
for typhi H 1:30 to 1:120 was +ve
for para typhi H 1:30 to 1:60 was +ve
for para typhi AH 1:30 to 1:60 was +ve
I consulted a doctor and took following medicines for a week
1. OFLOMAC
2. VINZOL DSR
3. KEFPOD
4 multivitamin
after i stopped medicine i was ok for about a week but the symptoms started to return a week after i stopped medicine.
I again consulted the doctor and he has given me one more week's medicine..
My questions are:
1. Is it normal if typhoid return after a week of complete fine health?
2. How severe is my typhoid from the reports mentioned above?
3. I am having pain in my head temple which is unbearable. Is it normal in typhoid?
4. Fever is repeating and when fever happens i feel chills in body even if AC works at 27 degree.
5. My iron study test showed that Transferrin is low than normal and iron total is low than normal..can this iron be cause of me feeling chills ?
6. Almost everyone i talked to who has experienced typhoid said they were in hospital for min of 5 days. But my doctor did not even talk about hospital admission.
Is hospital admission necessary?
7. How to be sure that now typhoid won't return or has been eliminated completely.?
I would be really grateful if you can answer my queries as now I have been fed up with these problems.
Thanks in advance
PAST HISTORY : I was fit any fine and suddenly this has happened.
I hv been having problems of dizziness, and spinning sensations since last 4/5 days. Had the same earlier abt 2 yrs back but on a very mild scale and they went away without any medication. This time it has been rather acute. Visited the physician and hv been prescribed Vertin 8 mg 1x3 times a day before bkfst, lunch and dinner. After three days feeling better but the sensations are still there albeit milder. Feel the spinning sensation especially when I look straight up/down and then bring the head back to normal posn.Again when I am changing sides on bed while lying down from left to right rpt left to right I feel the same sensation. Tho' the dizziness and the spinning sensations are less now after taking the dosages of Vertin 8 last three days would u hv any advice as to how long it takes normally for the problems to be totally eliminated? I am particularly concerned as I am, tho' a retired person, a man of fairly active habits and for the various domestic chores often hv to drive quite a bit in heavy city traffic and as a result of this problem am completely grounded which is affecting our day-to-day life styles and needs.

Hi,
Tablet Vertin is used for relief of vertigo due to several reasons, but it is to be known why is this vertigo occurring. For that reason MRI and other tests needs to be done.
The possible causes could be some problem in the brain or ear. If there is chronic disease in the ear, the internal ear is effected and there will be vertigo. The duration of vertigo will depend on the cause. To prevent worsening of symptoms during episodes of vertigo, try the following:
- Keep still, sit or lie dow ... Read Full Answer

Doctor's Answer
Hi!
The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative.
A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ... Read Full Answer
Hello, I have had a nail fungus for a good ten years or so. When I first noticed it, I went to my doctor and he game me lamasil which I stopped taking after a few days since it had negative affects on me. Thereafter, I stopped taking care of it and just let it go for a good 7 or 8 years. I eventually grew up and started getting very self conscious of how it looked and wanted to wear sandals and flip flops and not have people think nasty things about me. A few years ago I went to my doctor again and he gave me a topical oil which I used for over a year and did not see any results. About two years ago, I noticed that a vertical brown line was starting to grow from the bottom up. I went to a dermatologist who took a sample of my nail but did not take a sample of the nail bed or from the cuticle. Biopsy came back as of course it being a fungus. He in turn gave me pills to take which I also had to stop taking since it was having a bad affect on my liver. After that, my dermatologist said that he would give me laser treatments which I did two of. They did not clear it but it looks a little bit better then what it was before. Still thick, yellow, crumbling below the nail, nail bed where new nail is growing is darker then the others and the brown line is still there. It is a thick brown line. How did I get this brown line? Did I get it because of the prolonged damage of the nail bed due to the years of having the nail fungus?

You're most welcome. Nail Melanoma does not affect multiple nails together while Longitudunal Melanonychia (LM) often does. The fact that an additional nail is showing changes is nearly conclusive that this is LM, which as I said is harmless. However it would be best to see your doctor to get this confirmed since I cannot see the affected area.
I would recommend getting the entire nail removed if its the only one affected by fungus, but this will be solely to treat the fungus not because I thin ... Read Full Answer
Hi, I am really stressed and don't want to self diagnos and go crazy, but I have had this (pimple, ulcer, follicule infection or chancre on the side of the shaft of my penis. I don't know which one it is. I don't have medical but I am signing up on Tuesday for state medical..... The story is it appear maybe a week after a day and a half masterbation marathon I am embarrassed to say I had. It started as just a burning sensation on the side like I ripped the skin which I have done before. So I just didnt touch it. That was on a Sunday then Monday Xmas I tried to have sex with my lady and I couldn't cause of the pain and burning sensation on the skin. We started and stopped. 3 days after that in the same burning area 1 pimple formed with maybe 2 smaller ones. Very small ones... I I tried to masterbate again and it seemed as if it irritated the area and another one grew. They got to an ok size and where kind of painful. Then they grew and seemed to bust and started to go down. They look some like a chancre or a lesion when it was going down. They itch a little bit I guess that's from healing but I am freaked out. I had unprotected sex with another woman maybe a month before the night I began the marathon. I have pics please help.

Hi,
You might either be having STD or you might have ripped of your skin ,which might have also caused an ulcer.
1. Are you having any pain during micturition ?

If it is an STD then it can only be diagnosed by a scraping or specimen of discharge
Please kindly describe the kind of ulcer(whether it is ... Read Full Answer
Hello,
I began my period on Monday and I feel as though i have an abrasion on the right side of my vaginal opening. Yesterday, removing a tampon was uncomfortable, but today the pain was nearly unbearable. I also began experiencing UTI symptoms yesterday (urge to pee, pain in urethra and bladder at the end of urine stream).
I was recently on antibiotics for a sinus infection and took my last pill on Monday. I've also been tested for STDs within the last year and have had the same sex partner. My hubby and I did have rough sex on Sunday but I felt fine and I urinated as normal.
Could the antibiotics have given me a uti? What do you think about the scratched feeling? I'm getting worried.
Doctor's Answer
HI,
Abrasion,or may be a scratchy feeling that you are having can have many causes out of which 1)Having rough sex is amongst the common causes
2)If you had sex before actually your vagina was wet(then causing an injury is relatively easy),you might not have been aroused properly
3)UTI itself is among the common causes giving you such a feel.
I don't think that you may have had UTI because of any antibiotic,but if you have too less water during antibiotic course and antibiotic taken is a he ... Read Full Answer
