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.

You have mentioned dry socket, the appropriate treatment for that is use of local antibiotics and systemic analgesics. Kindly get a radiograph done and ask your dentist to irrigate and flush the area before inserting the local medication. ...

I've been recommended to have a wisdom tooth pulled because it has long roots and is near a nerve (and artery?). I'm living in South Korea so it's hard to understand exactly whats up. If this is the case, is this an emergency or could I wait 6 months until I'm back in the USA to clear it up.

Hello there, First of all let me assure you that whenever any doctor inspects a patient, he or she will usualy recommends a procedure which is in the best interest of the patient on a longer run, this is also known as an ethical approach & practice(This totally depends on the doctors practice, individually). Secondly as you have mentioned there is no pain in the wisdom tooth, there may not be an immediate nerve involvement for that tooth but there is a certain possibility ...

Hi, I stared the HCG diet 10 days ago using the drops. I also am trying to have a baby so I had sex three times during the week of ovulation. Last period was on January 8. I have had pregnancy symptoms, five positive pregnancy tests, no period. I did have some spotting but it was brown which makes me think that I am pregnant. I am not sure if it is the HCG drops causing a false positive test. Last night I put some of the drops on a pregnancy test and it was a faint positive. My dr. recommended a blood test and then another 48 hours later. I have poor insurance coverage as I am a business owner, and I don't want to spend the money on the blood tests this early. I usually have a 28-31 day cycle. I am thinking of just waiting a couple of weeks, I live a healthy lifestyle. Advice, sorry to ramble on. Jaclyn

Hi Jaclyn!! your issues as to whether the test for pregnancy is actually positive or not are actually confirmed by the serum beta hcg which if doubles in 48 hours means a viable and growing pregnancy. please get the blood tests for the pregnancy done as told. Also ,i hope you had rhogam after in your 1st pregnancy and after the miscarriage. Also your previous pregnancy with history of incompetent os means that this condition is likely to happen again so go in for prophylactic encirclage of the ...

well, Sacralization is congenital condition and it is incidental finding on Xray and has no bearing as such with your symptoms. you need a good consultation by an orthopaedic surgeon and need to get a good dianosis and maybe get treated accordingly. physical therapies you have undergone is going to give you temporary relief and for premanent cure you need proper work up. personally i do spinal manipulation which can help to take care of your problem from the grass root level and may be cure yo ...

well , you can start metformin and folate caps as metformin helps in controlling the ugar levels and thereby obesity and folate prevents any congenital malformations in the fetus. if your cycles are also deranged for long and irregular, i feel they should be addressed first along with other menas. regards ...

Hi, I had my last period last January. I have just confirmed that I am pregnant through a pregnancy test maybe 4 days ago. What I am worried about is that, I remember taking Alaxan FR twice when I had a fever, first week of Feb. It really bothers me that it could affect the health and development of my baby. Alaxan FR contains paracetamol and ibuprofen. Paracetamol is fine but it is the Ibuprofen which I learned is not recommended for pregnant women. I haven't gone to my OB yet to consult as about that. Need your opinions/advices. Please. Thanks in advance..

First of all congratulations on your pregnancy and you did your research well. I advise you not to worry too much. A lot of patients do not know that they are regnant on their 1st trimester of pregnancy and accidentally take medicines that are not recommended for pregnant women, but end up giving birth to healthy babies. 95% of congenital anomalies are caused by genetic aberration and not by exogenous factors. ...
