Question 1

what the best medical treatment for " pneumonia"?

Accepted Answer

For patients that: do not need hospitalization oral antibiotics are usually prescribed.   For someone who is 20 years old a standard treatment would be amoxicillin, or my preference is Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) which is a combination of two antibiotics that includes amoxicillin.  An alternative is doxycycline which can be taken by people allergic to pen.  Also, azithromycin in the for of a 'Z-pack' is a convenient treatment.

Question 2

what is the medical treatment for diabetes that is best?

Accepted Answer

Insulin or oral drug: If insulin-dependent diabetes, injectable insulin.  Human Insulin or the newer Insulin glargine (lantus) or Insulin detemir (levemir) are excellent.  If non-insulin dependent - oral agents glipizide/glyburide to start followed by the addition of metformin.  And again some newer agents are available if the first line agents don't control blood sugar levels. Pioglitazone and sitagliptin combos too.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Ischemia: Ischemia can be reversible, the treatment depends on the cause.

Question 4

what is best medical treatment for tonsilitis?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: I am a huge fan of an antibiotic called clindamycin. Tonsillitis usually involves mouth organisms either primarily or secondarily. Clindamycin is very effective against mouth bacteria whereas a lot of other antibiotics aren't. I'm aggressive with tonsil infections treating with antibiotics even with a viral cause. This is because bacterial superinfection occurs as the virus weakens the tonsil.

Accepted Answer

Chronic back pain: Pain is a challenging thing to manage.  Establishing a goal for pain relief is a start.  Depending on what is the underlying cause of the pain, if the injections did not help, surgery may be an option.  Chronic opioid therapy, with combinations of short acting and long acting meds is an option as well.  Lastly, which ever treatment modality is chosen, you should also entertain the mental toll.
