Question 2

doc prescribed me proctosol for enteral hemorrhoids.i can't get cream to go in rectum and i'm on a lot of pain.  how do i get cream in?

Accepted Answer

Don't force it: Internal hemorrhoids typically don't cause pain, unless they are prolapsed and thromboses.  Sometimes the pain is caused by an anal fissure rather than a hemorrhoid, in which case placing anything into the anal canal will be very painful and won't help either.

Question 6

is it safe for a patient to receive a tpn feed through a gj tube?my sis has severe mastocytosis & gastroparesis, and enteral feeding tube didn't work.

Accepted Answer

Not  a question of : safety, rather why give a parenteral feeding, enterally, might not be absorbed efficiently and an expensive preparation would be wasted. The G-J tube is meant to bypass the stomach and go right into the small intestine, there are preparations meant to be used this way that don't need stomach digestive process, ask the doctors/dietician   about, wish you and your sister wellness

COVID 19 testing: It is recommended to test after 5 days if no symptoms.  Meanwhile your husband should isolate from you - mask, eat and stay in a separate room.

Question 8

my wife was diagnosed covid 19 positive with her first symptoms on the 12th of december 2020.  i immediately moved  into spareroom.  her last symptoms were on 24th december 2020.  when will it be safe to move back into room? i did not get covid?

Accepted Answer

Best guess: In general most sites recommend at least 5 days after symptoms gone. Might be worthwhile to have her test again to be sure she is now negative. Make sure all areas she was in have been cleaned or sanitized with UV light or products and make sure both of you continue to support your immune systems with rest, liquids and supplements as necessary.

Nature of contact??: What was exposure like?  Were you close to infected person – less than 2 meters?  Were you both wearing masks? Did the person appear ill? Sneeze or cough near you?
