Still there is pus and hardened area below the ear.(swollen lymph node) Doctor said initial culture tests are negative and other reports will take a month for the reports to come.

Hello,

Thanks for your query on Lybrate

"As" per your clinical history is concerned ligament tear cannot be repaired by taking medication only so do an MRI scan tomorrow to know exactly what is the position now and which ligament is injured, then it will be repaired by surgical methods only.So take those two medications as per your Doctor's advise.

Do follow few preventive steps like this for future-

Health Query

My son is 4 months old for one month he is suffering from frequent urination. The first doctor gave taxim o drops for five days after that he went for an ultrasound. It was debris in urinary bladder with internal echoes he also got klebsiella oxytoca in culture. Then the doctor wrote amikacin and cefuroxime injections. But we don't go for injections as my boy had no fever vomiting or weight loss. We changed the doctor and the other doctor wrote zifi drops. We used it for 10 days. But the urine frequency is 30 mins now. He referred to a nephrologist. He got his mcug test done which is normal. The doctor advised sporidex for one-half month after which he suggested dmsa scan. We are using sporidex now 0.5 ml. Now the baby stream is low sometimes and normal sometimes but the output is reduced. Frequency is the same. Complete urinalysis is 3 -4 pus cells always. Is it normal?

Halo Dr. i keeps my self fit by doing regular exercises. In oct 2015 I suffered with Typhoid. I could not complete proper medication but recovered. After that I started feeling weakness on and off. Now for the last one and half month I am feeling acute fatigue. More over I again suffered from fever on 18.04. 2016 and it repeated four times I again undergone medical check up, all tests conducted like Vidal, bilubrin, viral, dengue etc but nothing detected. An ESR test was conducted which shows infection level up to 50. Than other tests also conducted like cholesterol, lipid profile, Ldl, Hdl, Thyroid, urine culture, blood culture, diabetes, hemoglobin, etc every report is ok. Than my Dr. on assumption basis started monocep in IV for typhoid thinking that may be in latent form not reflecting in tests. Now my fever is over for the last five days without taking PCM. Now my weakness is still existing. I am taking cefuroxime and Darolac OD. PSE let me know as my fever and weakness still could not rightly diagnosed. Than what should I do now, however fever is not coming but weakness 8s there. I have reduced my weight also by 1.5 kg within 20 days.

Hello
diet is most important in covid as it weakens our immune system. If your patient is not diabetic then she should take sufficient ors to keep herself hydrated. What is the oxygen saturation of patient when she is breathless?
As of now no changes in medicine is required.
Advice patient to do breathing exercise using incetive spirometer to increase the functioning of lungs.

Health Query

I have been married for 9 months ، then 3 months ago I had severe itching in the vagina and noticed the presence of many white pills and secretions, so I went to a gynecologist and prescribed a medicine for me miconazole nitrate 400 (vaginal suppositories), vocort cream (contains diflucortolone valerate and isoconazole nitrate as active ingredients.) and fluconazole 150 mg capsule and I repeated vaginal suppositories twice, I mean six suppositories and I have never improved. I went to another doctor and asked me to perform an analysis to confirm the presence of fungi or bacteria and he prescribed the same medicine that the first doctor prescribed except the cream. I replaced it with a cream called ecorex (contains 10 mg econazole nitrate and 1 mg triamcinolone acetonide), and I adhered to the drug until the result of the analysis appeared and candida albicans appeared, but I did not improve. Unfortunately, there was no improvement, so I went back to my doctor and asked me to repeat the same first medication with an increased dose. This means six suppositories of miconazole nitrate 400 other used every day once and three capsules of fluconazole 150 mg used every three days once. This did not change anything, so I went to another doctor and asked me to repeat the analysis, so stop hylococcus aureus appeared in the analysis, so cefuroxime axetil gave me two pills daily for five days in addition to a vaginal gel called multi-gyn actigel, but the condition worsened and the pain, itching and space of the pain increased. In addition to the amount of dense secretions, it is green and I no longer know what to do.
