Don't panic at all. These are not lumps just they are a group of lymph nodes situated below your jaw. They are normal anatomical structures. If you feel pain in them or tenderness or pain during swallowing then it can b a sign of infection for that you can consult your near by doctor otherwise no need to take antibiotics without any prescriptions.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details mentioned. The skin infection (boils) can recur if complete eradication doesn't occur. The antibiotics that you have been on may not as effective on staphylococcal infection. Plus there is a need to have a stricter blood glucose control. So please look at these aspects. So there is a need to look at overall diabetes treatment including diet, exercise and drugs being used. At your age hba1c% should be < 6%, fasting glucose...more

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. Some times regular skin infections like boils do occur in diabetic patients, more so if the control is not very good. It is difficult give any specific advise as you have not given all the necessary information like actual fasting, pp glucose, dietary details & extent of daily exercise as well as weight & height. At your age ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg or closer to it. Pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. Anoth...more

Missed or late periods may happen for many reasons other than pregnancy. Common causes can range from hormonal imbalances to serious medical conditions. It could be anything from stress, low body weight, obesity to pcos or birth control pills. You may connect with me over a call for further detailed discussion.
Thanks.

I've been diagnosed with uti after having bad fever (multiple fever cycles a day despite taking acetaminophen) and some vomiting for 3 days even though the typical symptoms (burning, frequent urination, constant need to pee) while urinating subsided (and started after sex) even before the fever started. Urine analysis was positive in bacteria (no specific), nitrites, blood, leucocites and protein. The doctor who I consulted beforehand then prescribed me ciprofloxacin as treatment. By chance I got to speak to another doctor who prescribed me cefalexin. I investigated both and came to a conclusion that ciprofloxacin carries adverse effects which risk I don't feel comfortable taking (especially neuropathy). I don't like to take antibiotics in general, which makes me even more weary about side effects they have. Why one or the other antibiotic and how will the treatment differ? Am I overly paranoid about potential risks? I like to understand why doctors decide for a specific medicine but have not had the luxury of being given any explanation. Hoping that maybe this community gives me some answers. Thank you in advance.
