Question 1

i have had three yeast infections in four months. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Let me advice you: Yeast infection can result from: 
antibiotic use which leads to a decrease in the amount of lactobacillus bacteria in your vagina and a change in your vaginal ph that allows yeast to overgrow
 pregnancy
 uncontrolled diabetes
 impaired immune system
 anything that changes the type and amount of bacteria normally present in the vagina, such as douching or irritation from inadequate vaginal lubrica.

Question 2

to what extent is duo test (p24 and elisa) for hlv infection accurate and reliable after four weeks of sexual relation?

Accepted Answer

Too Soon to Test: This is way too soon to feel safe or to be reliable for HIV antibody testing.  The better test in the early days following an exposure is the HIV RNA pcr test, testing for the virus itself. This test is accurate to 21 days post exposure.

Question 3

had a tooth top that was fractured four 4yrs extracted last wk the roots wer causing infection al that time now havin root taken out 4yrs in pain grrr?

Accepted Answer

Tooth: Not sure what  you are asking however it is important to have the entire tooth removed and any infected tissue in the tooth socket removed so that excellent bone healing will occur.

Question 4

i had a colysystectomy four weeks ago but still feellightheaded and weak. all tests came back negative for infection. could it be anesthesia complications?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It sounds more like your body is trying to get used to living without a gallbladder.  Are you following all the post op diet instructions?

Question 5

hello, a summary of the problem is that i have four children who are exposed to infections that develop rapidly without showing symptoms of the disease or any pathological indicators except in advanced stages, and after it was too late two of them di?

Accepted Answer

: It isn't possible to provide any advice at all without knowing what infections your kids have had. Post a new question.

Question 6

i had four teeth extracted a week or so ago but now im still in pain and my one socket started bleeding again. on monday last week he treated me for infection in the top two extraction areas but now its the one below after gently rinsing wt corsody?

Accepted Answer

: So the normal post operative instructions would be to wait for 24hrs and then rinse gently with warm salt water for 15 minutes three times daily.  Having pain now a week later is unusual. Please go back and have the surgeon examine you.  You may have a dry socket which need s special care.

Question 7

what do yall suggest that i take for a reoccuring yeast infection? i have taken  four of those flagila pills that doctors give but they didn't work.

Accepted Answer

See the doctor.: Flagyl pills are not effectivenfor yeast infection if that's what you have. See the doctor and get a wet prep which will help determine whether it is a yeast infection or something else.

Question 8

i've had a painless swollen gland on the right side of neck for about four months. could it be an infection?

Accepted Answer

Exam: I recommend that you have this examined as infections with reactive lymph nodes should resolve within a few weeks.

Question 9

a girl of ten years was vaccinated for measles at birth. she had measles infection at four years. should she be vaccinated now or not?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: At least in the us, the measles vaccine is never given before 6 mo(will not work), and then only if travel in an indemic area is planned. It is given at 1 ANS 4-5 yrs. If a wild case of measles is documented, the vaccine would not be needed, but separate MMR components are no longer produced or availabel in the us, and the other components would still be needed. Having the vaccine again is ok.

Question 10

my new four unit porcelain bridge broke while eating sandwich. the crown's still there. my dentist's appointment is after two day, on monday. would i get an infection?

Accepted Answer

No: The underlying  tooth is still protected by the underling metal.
