Avatar n tn is it possible these ARS symptoms be diverted or avoid if the infected person (1) applied pharmaceutical creams to suppress any possible ARS rash? (2) Mediate any signs of Fewer by administering to strong antibiotics?
Avatar n tn Thank you for responding. I started a round of antibiotics & a steroid z-pack last night and I have been administering triple antibiotic ointment, it's not hurting like it was.. If the antibiotics and steroids don't do the trick, I'll definately be making an appointment next week.

Avatar n tn Looking for some ideas about my 7 mo old. She started to have spots on her face yesterday that looked like pimples. Some just red and others looked puss filled. She had four on her forehead, and one by her mouth. Then later I noticed two on her knee cap and one on her thumb. Now there are two on her head under her hair. What could it be?
Avatar f tn It is important to keep her ears infection free so that the ENT can do the surgery and place the tubes. Therefore, it is not uncommon to be on antibiotics prior to the surgery. Antibiotics are for infections only, so colds do not need to be treated with an antibiotic. Ideally you don't want her to have to be on any medications, however you can't leave an infection untreated.
Avatar n tn t a nurse of doctor administering the test (and the place tailors to the gay population mostly as I understand i)t, my anxiety kicked in. I know sweaty tingling palms (also something I have today) may be a symptom of anxiety but the rash yesterday came out of nowhere, with a few small pimple looking things within it( have been anxious for some time now but haven't seen a rash until after the test) Anyway, could this be related to the test/possible infection?
Avatar n tn What are precautions women should take during pregnancy to reduce the risk of Yeast infection?It seems its really dangerous to have infection during pregnancy.
Avatar m tn I am finding a couple studies nowadays (2009-2010) on Google that are experimenting with administering antivirals and/or HBIG to the mother BEFORE birth, because they are now suspecting that the virus can cross the placenta during pregnancy especially in HBeAg+ mothers. So if I read on, the conclusion is that, with HBeAg+ mothers with increasing viral DNA, then the HBIG + vaccine at birth is now only 79% effective (as compared with an overall 95% effectivness) I am a nervous wreck right now!
Avatar f tn Got tested for uti and it was negative. Tried taking antibiotics and didn’t work. The obgyn said go to urologist but I’m terrified. I’m a female and had c section 4 months ago. I’ve had this urge to pee for a week now.
Avatar f tn That is to say three different antibiotics simultaneously. There are various combinations, the idea being to simultaneously attack three different methods of replication, because the cells mutate. There is more than one variety of H. Pylori. The bacteria exists on raw chicken sometimes and you can get reinfected. Wash and cook chicken thoroughly and sterilize all cutting boards. There are arguments pro and con administering acid reducing medications.
Avatar m tn NEVER attempt to give a cat an enema at home unless instructed by your veterinarian, and NEVER use an over-the-counter Fleet phosphate enema (infant enema), which is toxic to cats. After they have been “cleaned out”, medical management begins. In the past, a high fiber diet and bulking agents such as Metamucil and fiber pills were recommended in an effort to make the cat more “regular.” These are actually contraindicated, and can worsen the signs.
Avatar f tn I have to muzzle him to keep him from nipping at me, and he does all he can to break away from me. Nicholas is very strong and I only have use of one arm. I live alone so trying to hold him still is impossible. Does anyone have any idea on how I can put this medicine in his eye? Thanks in advance....
Avatar f tn I had a tubal ligation after my second child never thinking I would be widowed early and want another child down the road. I go to see my RE on May 27th for my injection teaching, I wasn't nervous until I received and saw the amount of medication involved in the process. I have been prescribed Follistim, Menopur, HCG, Prednisone, Estradiol, Doxycycline and Endometrium I don't know what all of this is for yet but I'm reading.
Avatar m tn I may have misunderstood the question. I was referring to IPHC which is done during 1st or 2nd look surgery. It is heated to approximately 43C or equivilent of 109F, and administered open abdomen.
1035252 tn?1427227833 Another strategy is to use sleep clothing with no other covering over the infant or infant sleep sacks that are designed to keep the infant warm without the possible hazard of head covering. 4. Do not smoke during pregnancy: Maternal smoking during pregnancy has emerged as a major risk factor in almost every epidemiologic study of SIDS.
Avatar n tn I would recommend cleaning his eyelids with a warm washcloth twice a day once this infection is resolved to try to prevent its recurrence. Seek the care of a pediatric eyeMD to check your son’s eyes. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.
Avatar f tn coli and faecalis which do not respond to the treatment of antibiotics from different groups presribed on the basis of the smear test results. I would like to take tygacil as this is a highly innovative medicine overcoming the existence of pumps in bacteria and getting rid of the ribosome protection.
Avatar f tn Your baby will be fine, it's only really a concern during the birthing process. It's a normal bacteria that is in your body at all times, and sometimes it gets a "colonized" or there is more than the normal amount. It's harmless, except to an infant, but only during childbirth is there a risk of infection for them. You can also be positive at one point and negative later- the antibiotics don't really "cure" it but they do go back into balance on their own.
Avatar n tn Last week I suffered from appendicitis and my doctor cured me by administering antibiotics. Now have a relief the inflamation is gone. But from today morning I am suffering pain in the groin area which is similar to the pain I suffered for appendicitis I wanted to know that is the pain caused by Fungal infection or medicinal reaction which was provided for appendicitis. I have not experienced similar pain in groin area before and there is no blister or rashes.

Individual medical conditions may warrant a physician to recommend otherwise after weighing the relative risks and benefits. 1. Back to sleep: Infants should be placed for sleep in a supine position (wholly on the back) for every sleep. Side sleeping is not as safe as supine sleeping and is not advised.

Avatar f tn The antibiotics you have been prescribed for you Strep throat will usually quickly and effectively treat the problem. There should be no likelihood that you would pass this on to the newborn baby through a throat infection, however take the necessary precautions of hand washing, etc.
Avatar n tn They have inserted a tube through his nasal passage for temporary relief of symptoms and are administering antibiotics through his IV to see if that will help to clear up the blockage, surgery will be the last option. Thank you for all your responses, they were very informative.
Avatar f tn The hospital and doctors do everything they can to control the environment. This includes administering antibiotics, wearing protective suits in the operating room, operating in special airflow rooms, and simply maintaining sterile conditions during surgery. The bacteriae are who they are. On your part, you can do everything to keep your resistance high.
Avatar m tn a theoretical question assuming the baby somehow contratcted the virus. i would thing that the baby would have to have a mouth full of blood to be a risk to the mother, am i right?
492921 tn?1321289896 If you do ever think she has an infection sweet oil works good for healing viral and bacterial! I am allergic to all antibiotics and that is what I used to do. I had bad ear infections as a child till age 15 and had tubes out in 5x. My daughters have had 2 sets each also, so I know about ear infections.
Avatar f tn Please take adequate care to keep the area clean and free from tension to prevent it from pulling apart . Give suitable antibiotics to suppress infection and prevent further infection . Please consult the surgeon for the complete management plan . Hope his helps you . Take care and regards !
Avatar n tn In some cases, pyloric stenosis may be passed down through families (inherited), or a baby may have the problem as part of another genetic condition. Antibiotics, such as erythromycin, given to a baby within the first 2 weeks of life may slightly increase his or her chances for developing pyloric stenosis. But it is very unlikely that taking antibiotics would by itself cause pyloric stenosis. In the past, pyloric stenosis was considered a birth defect.
