Question 1

my body temp is always 35 to 35.7 celsius rarely goes above 36. should i be concerned? i have an infection after surgery at the moment and i'm concerned about keeping an eye on it as what is to low when that's my normal?

Accepted Answer

: Measuring body temperature can be difficult at times, and a measure body temperature of 35°C can be normal. I would only be concerned if your temperature goes significantly outside of your normal range. If that occurs, contact your doctor. Good luck.

Question 2

do i have an infection if i have veins in mouth, white tongue, sore throat, light headed, hives on body, purple inside lip?

Accepted Answer

See PCP: You could have an upper respiratory infection.  See your physician for diagnosis.  It's normal to see veins in your mouth.

Question 3

please help? my body is prone to infections. i have poor immunity and hence looking for a good solution. please help?

Accepted Answer

Immune System Eval: You need an immune system evaluation.   There are different areas of our immune system the helps us fight off viruses, bacteria and/or yeasts and molds. Depending on the defect, will depend on which is the best treatment. Ask your doctor to refer you to an Allergist/Immunologist. Caution looking online,  not all "called allergists" are Immunologists.

Question 4

can m.r.i. or n.m.r. scan detect all prevailing infections in the human body ?

Accepted Answer

MRI Scans: Mri scans are performed on isolated parts of the body for specific reasons. If a physician is concerned for brain, spine or joint infections, than a targed MRI is a great test. It would never be used to screen a whole body. It would take hours and be very expensive. As an example, a brain MRI takes about 45 minutes. A total spine MRI takes up to 2.5 hours.

Question 5

my body temp. measured orally is between 96.8degs.f&97.2degs.f.this is below the normal temp. which is 98.6 degs.f. do i have infection or a problem?

Accepted Answer

Normal temperature: You misunderstand normal temperature. 98.6 is the average in testing hundreds of people; and it's also roughly the average in most individuals whose temperatures are measured several times through the day and night. Everybody's temp is sometimes as low as 96.0 or as high as about 99.6. The temperatures you report in this question do not indicate a health problem of any kind.

Question 6

i have a case of a 14years staphilococcus saprophiticus infection. my body is always hot to the touch and this has been going on for 2years plus. plea?

Accepted Answer

Infectious disease : If you have a chronic and persistent infection in your body, I would strongly suggest you be seen and thoroughly evaluated by an infectious disease specialist who could potentially work with your current doctor to effect a cure.

Question 7

what to do if i have enterococcus faecalis infection. could this infection be making my body tired?

Accepted Answer

Site of infection: Enterococcus is a germ that can cause serious problems, especially in someone who may already be weakened by another disease. It would be important to know 'from where' the germ was found, and if it is actually causing disease... since it can occur in the GI tract normally and not cause any problems. If you have a blood stream infection, then I would believe it. Best to talk to an ID doc who knows

Question 8

how long do infections stay in the body?

Accepted Answer

Infection: This is highly variable and depends upon the particular infection. Some remain in your body for a lifetime (i.e., herpes viruses. Hpv, toxoplasma, tuberculosis, etc.).

Question 9

what causes multiple infections in the body?

Accepted Answer

Multiple infections: The answer would depend upon whether you are talking about many different types of infections (in which case it may suggest something deficient in your immune system), or you are asking about the same organism producing many different sites of infection (usually staphylococcal, but may be other pathogens).  Maybe you could tell me more about what is going on an could answer more definitively.

Question 10

can  infection in the body cause b/p to go up?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Infection where, with what organism and why are you asking.  Rephrase this question and explain in detail. Generally with severe infection your BP will fall rather than go up.
