hi, i wanted to know what to do after a drug overdose. the hospital dint do much to clear away the drug and i feel the effect it has in my body. ive being very weack, feel dizzy, confuse, can't remember things that where told to me a few minutes ago, i ha

Accepted Answer

This is serious: the incidence of death from drug overdose has been rising and now is higher than the fatality rate from ALL auto accidents.  You need to contact your local health department and see what programs they have for you.  In my state there is a website (Delaware) to help people who have had  a drug overdose.  Your doctor may also help but you can consult the web for more answers to your questions.

Question 2

what is the best way to clear away skin tags?

Accepted Answer

It Depends: Skin tags are irritating and can be removed in many ways.  If you see your doctor or dermatologist they will snip them off with scissors, freeze them with liquid nitrogen or cauterize them.  There many other ways to remove them as well. This is a cosmetic procedure and not covered by insurance so expect to have some out of pocket expense to have them removed.

Question 3

how can i most effectively clear away pimples?

Accepted Answer

There is no best way: Often times consumers are sold on 'secret' treatments for acne.  This is because acne is a difficult problem without a best way to treat all cases.  Start with standard otc treatment: salacylic acid wash, benzoyl peroxide and a good moisturizer and if this is not effective make a visit with your primary physician to discuss prescription therapy.

Question 4

atherosclerosis question. if you stop eating fats for one year, would that clear away your plaques?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not: There's two points here: 1) eliminating all fats is not healthy, in fact it may be detrimental - you need some fats to survive & function.  The trick is choosing the right fats.  2) even if eliminating "bad" fats, you may not get crystal clear arteries but the plaques will shrink and you'll slow the creation of new ones.

Question 5

could sudafed clear away mucus in the eustachian tubes?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Decongestants usually do not clear eustachian tube obstruction with mucus.  It would not be harmful to try sudafed, but if say 5 days of treatment does not help, i would not continue. Trying  decongestant nasal drops and lying down with your head turned to the side may allow the drops to get into the tube and might give some relief.  In general, these are viral infections and  immunity will cure.

Question 6

if i have an autoimmune disease and hpv dose that mean most likely my hpv won't ever clear away on its own ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Possibly that may be the case.  We do know patients with lupus have difficulty with hpv and cervical dysplasia.  Talk to your gyn as you may need more frequent testing if you have had an abnormal pap smear.

Question 7

how to get 3 warts off of my hand without getting it lasered or frozen off i have 3 warts on my hand and i have tried apple cider vinegar and dr scholls clear away and i need them gone without paaying a whole bunch of money help me

Accepted Answer

Warts : Warts are viruses, transmitted from person to person by touch.  They can be very hard to get rid of.  Ultimately, your body needs to recognize that they are foreign, make antibodies to them and destroy them.  Options include the topicals as you have done over the counter.  Other physician administered treatments include: cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, a pulsed dye laser treatment, co2 laser treatment or physically having the warts cut off.  Many times, i suggest patients "pare down" their warts using a nail file and then apply the topical medications that i prescribe- typically veregen (sinecatechins) (green tea extract) or imiquimod, topical vitamin a's may help by irritating the area.  If your over the counter treatments aren't working, your next stop may need to be a doctors office, call beforehand for pricing- i never give guarantees with warts as they are very challenging, and even in the best hands may not respond to treatments.

Question 8

are there any effective home remedies that can clear away both acne and improve the complexion?

Accepted Answer

Limited power: Something as simple as tree oil or over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide may be all it takes, but this is the 21st century and life's hard enough without acne. I start folks with topical Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative; it should be very cheap and works quite well.

Question 9

urinating a few times does that clear away the sperm in the urethra?will it then not make it to the pre-cum? or just some of it? 
is it likely or not?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Although urination should cleat away sperms in urethra but it might or might not happen completely.
pre-cum can have sperms.

Question 10

have yeast but also been itchin outside my uvula & have a rash i take ampicillin but won't work when i took benadryl (diphenhydramine) it clear away can it b a allergy?

Accepted Answer

? vaginal thrush: possibly secondary to the antibiotic, benadryl (diphenhydramine) won't help in this instance, talk to your doctor about holding the ampicillin, or try something OTC for the thrush, keep the area clean and dry, if that doesn't work see your doctor, good luck
