Question 1

dear doctor, i am faisal and i have my height problem in my life, my height is 5 ft 7 inches i want to increase my height 5ft to 10 inches to above. ?

Accepted Answer

What's bad with 5'7": depends on your age too, if you're still under 17, your both parents are on the taller side, you might be able to gain those 3 more inches given that you are a healthy person, not on any steroids or suffering from a bad disease affecting any of your vital organs, other than that 5' 7'' hieght is very reasonable universally, goodluck

Question 2

i'm currently majoring in pre-made,  due to circumstances i did fail a few classes but retook them & passed. any advice on med school admissions?

Accepted Answer

Very difficult: The competition  to get into medical school is fierce.  If the courses you failed were among the prime criteria such as organic chemistry and biology, then you have a tough road ahead of you.  It will help if you have medical/ scientific extra curricular and summer activities.   A favorable score on the MCAT test would also help.

Question 3

what are the main cause for facial blackheads?

Accepted Answer

Cell overgrowth: The fancy terms are follicular hyperkeratinization and epithelial hyperproliferation. This medical jargon means that the cells lining the pores are growing too quickly and producing too much keratin which covers up the pores. Otc products like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can help combat this. My favorite prescription medication for blackheads is tazorac (tazarotene) gel/cream.

Question 4

what are the major signs of facial redness during or after you exercise?

Accepted Answer

A bit unsure: Of exactly what you mean.  The major sign of facial redness is just that, redness in the face.  If your questions is why does this happen when you exercise is related dilated capillaries(superficial small blood vessels).  This is normal.  The harder you work out, you'll likely see more redness.

Question 5

can i use oratane acne pills in combination with gentle magic facial?

Accepted Answer

Pills and topicals: The pills should not interfere with your gentle magic facial, but your skin could be more sensitive than usual.  Please be careful.

Question 6

how do i know if i have ms as facial numbness seems to be a main symptom?

Accepted Answer

See neurologist: Facial numbness can be caused by many items, including dental and jaw issues, viral involvement of cranial nerves, issues at base of brain.  Might consult with your dentist initially but if no answer, a neurologist can certainly help.  Facial numbness is not usually the presenting sign of ms&gt;.

Question 7

i'm writing a book, in which the character is involved in a major car accident. what are procedures in the ambulance, and possible fatal injuries?

Accepted Answer

Liver laceration: Emergency medical personnel usually arrive at the scene, they may have to extricate the patient from the vehicle using power instruments to break through doors or cut out glass, apply a cervical collar and place the patient on a spinal board, perform CPR if necessary, apply a tourniquet around bleeding limbs, or start ivs and fluids.  Fatal injuries include liver laceration or splenic rupture.

Question 8

what causes major facial swelling after a root canal?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the level: Of presenting infection or a secondary infection.  Let your dentist know so appropriate measures / antibiotics / i ;d ...  Can be taken.  Typically this doesnt happen.  Hope this helps.

Question 9

have now missed 2 periods? have a few symptoms nothing major. i tested a week ago but was negative. partner had vasectomy 3 years ago. could this fail

Accepted Answer

Home pregnancy tests are very accurate.: They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.  if you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Question 10

hi doc. i have major facial flushing and heat waves that feel as if all the blood in my body is transported into my face, it is embarrassing for the m?

Accepted Answer

Facial flushing: The small blood vessels in your face are opening up and  the additional blood flow there causes the flushing.  Check w/your doctor to make sure all is well.  There are psychological ways to manage this such as biofeedback but the most practical is learning to be comfortable w/it and even letting others know that you flush.  A clinical psychologist can help.  Peace and good health.
