Accepted Answer

: You should call the doctor who placed the catheter as it sounds like you may have the beginning of a wound infection and you don’t want this to worsen. This may require antibiotics to treat. The redness and pus are concerning. So, call your doctor-there is always someone on call for this type of issue. Good luck!

Accepted Answer

It : It is possible you have paronychia, which is an infection of the area around the nail (nail fold).  This would typically require an antibiotic to eliminate the infection.  I hope that helps!

Question 3

small yellow balls pus in stool, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Mucus on stool: Mucus discharge occurs in up to 50% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome, with or without pain.

Consider evaluation please.

Question 7

im pretty positive i have mrsa but i thinks worse it has a big hole in it with yellow pus?

Accepted Answer

Unclear question: Where is the hole? Do you have fever? Is there any discharge? You may or may not have MRSA, but if you have an abscess, you should see a doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

i have pus cells 8-10 and epithelial cells 0-1and ph 5.0 specific gravity1.025 colour yellow what does means kindly tolled me thanks?

Accepted Answer

What's going on?: A lab test result without knowing symptoms is not helpful here.  Why was the test done? Did you follow instructions when you gave the sample?  (Clean catch is necessary).  If the test was for a routine physical, repeat it in a week.  White blood cells in a male's urinalysis is worth further checking, or just repeating if no symptom. Talk to your doc about it.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics : If not too severe, tx with bactriban oint 2-3 times daily and pls remove the ring. If severe, requires oral antibiotic therapy. Best if get a culture first just bc MRSA can present this way too.
