Mannitol 20%W/V Infusion Health Feed

Asked for male, 31 years old from Hyderabad

A day before yesterday, I had a major infection in my right eye and consulted an eye doctor. He prescribed some medication saying I had some kind of viral infection. Today most of the pain and redness of the eye is gone. But, I still have that 50% blurriness in my right eye. I can't see objects properly with my right eye. It's been 50 hours since I used the first medication. Am I going to lose the sight permanently? Blurriness is not increasing, but I'm still scared. I would be grateful if you could give me a proper suggestion. This is the medication Tablets: Aceclofenac & Paracetamol Tablets (Acetop-P) Ciprofloxacin Tablets (Floxip-500) Rabeprazole Tablets 20 mg (Razol-20) Eye drops: Moxifloxacin Eye drops Ip 0.5% w/v (Moxigram) Carboxymethyl-Cellulose Eye Drops IP (Compu Drops o.5%) Prednisolone Acetate Opthalmic Suspension USP (allergen) Sterile 10 ml.

Hi, betadine goes into stomach and intestines.
Your ovulation from ovary happens in pelvic cavity and it goes inside uterus. Intestines abd uterus are not connected.
It will not affect. But this is a very good question. All the best.

Asked for male, 37 years old from Gurgaon

I am 37 year old male and have been facing seborrheic dermatitis issue from past many years. I am using protar k shampoo and also apply tacrolimus solution 0.1 w/v. My nose, beard, ears, and forehead are also affected due to dermatitis. I also have severe hair fall due to this as I have to scratch my scalp while shampooing in order to get this white sticky stuff out of my hair. I have also had isotretinoin 10 mg at multiple occasions to control sebum production but no relief. I have almost used all shampoos (coal tar, ketoconazole) and solutions in market but I am not getting any relief from it. The sticky white discharge does not go away. My scalp is also itchy all the time.

I was diagnosed telogen effluvium by a  dermatologist on 21 september 2016. My hairloss started around 20 august 2016. I shedded for 7-10 days  and then it stopped on its own. I was going through a rough time in my life so I realised it after a week that my hair is falling in excess amount. I went to a dermatologist who diagnosed it as TE. I was highly depressed about my hairloss at the time I went to the doctor. She gave me tugain 2% to use for 21 days. Tugain has 2% minodoxil w/v and 63% absolute alcohol v/v. The doctor did not tell me how to use it. I read the prescription which stated not to use more than one ml in single application. Since my hairloss was diffuse I wondered how to use just one ml on the entire scalp. This was my biggest mistake. I used the medicine for 7-8 days and within 7-8 days I finished two bottles each of 60 ml. I feel so dumb. I used it in huge amounts. I stopped using it after 7-8 days since it was causing dandruff flakes on my scalp. 12 days after stopping tugain I started to shed gain in huge amounts for 4-5 days. Within 4-5 days I lost about 15% of my hair density. I called the doctor who prescribed me tugain, she said that hairloss is temporary and stop using tugain and then continue again after some while. I could not say her much because it was my mistake as I did not read the prescription. <br> The base contained absolute alcohol which I read on the internet is a harmful agent. I am so scared right now. Have I killed my hairfollicles by using it excessively? It has been more than a month since I used the medicine and hairloss occurred, I am. Afraid my follicles were damaged hence my hair fell out and now they are destroyed by now.

Generally hair comes back after such incidents but there's a possibility that you might have caused more damage than visible. U should go Prp therapy asap.

Health Query

My daughter is 12 years old. She is an achondroplasia child having ARRESTED hydrocephalus from almost 5 years. She is suffering from stomach ache and vomiting from last 20 days and severe head reeling from last 7 days. On admitting at the nursing home on 8th jan, she was given with antibiotics, anti vomiting, antacid and mannitol. The doctors there were expecting it to be increased pressure ICT and asked for VP shunt or consulting neurosurgeon. On consulting to a senior neurosurgeon, he examined the eye movement, hand movement, touching nose, leg touching movements and rejected vp shunt procedure as it is an attested case of hydrocarbons as per comparison of 4 CT scan reports over last 5 years. Presently she is having severe and continued head reeling and occasional vomiting. Need proper guidance as shunt or etv is not a permanent solution.

It seems that your grandpa is suffering from a painful blind eye due to end stage neovascular glaucoma. At this stage, the treatment options are only to make the patient comfortable and prevent pain . Visual recovery is very very unlikely. He can try diode CPC as an option to reduce pressure. In case even that does not work, the removal of that eye might be the only possible solution

Hi! my grandmother is 79 years old. She suffered right frontal intracerebral hematoma on 02/02/2021 at 11 pm. She was discharged from the hospital on 08/02/2021 in haemodynamically stable condition. She was on the following medications during her stay at the hospital: inj ceftriaxone, inj mannitol, inj levipil, inj pan, inj zofer, inj paracetamol, tab stamlo, tab levipil, tab pan, tab calcium, years duphalac. She has a ryle's tube and foley catheter in-situ. She was discharged with the following medication to follow: tab stamlo, tab levipil 2 times. Tab pan, years duphalac, years orofer, tab calcium and years multivitamin. Her recovery is what is making us worry. She can talk in slurred speech and very very low volume for 4-5 times a day with great trying. She cannot keep her eyes open for more than 3-4 seconds at a time, that too only 9-10 times a day upon great trying. She mostly answers by nodding her head and cannot sit upright for very long. She has some movement in her left leg and very less to negligible movement in left arm. My question is about how much time will the clot take to dissolve in the brain? How much time can it take for her to at least eat with her mouth? Why is she so tired all the time? I think the doctor has only given some basic medication, and not clot busting medication. What should be the next course of action?
