Question 1

what is a micro wound?

Accepted Answer

Simple definition: A wound is the name given to a break in the lining of our bodies or an organ of any depth that occurs from an external cause (trauma, surgery, a paper cut, a skin tear, etc).  An ulcer is when the skin break occurs from an internal cause resulting in a break in the lining (stomach ulcer, diabetic or venous ulcer).  A micro wound would be a very small break in the skin.  This is an unusual term.

Question 2

how long do you have mano for?

Accepted Answer

6-8 weeks: I assume you mean mono? The symptoms of mono can last up to 6-8 weeks. The sore throat usually resolves within several weeks, but the fatigue can linger for a month or two. Remember to avoid any contact sports during that time, because you can get bleeding from your spleen if you are hit in the wrong spot. Hope this helps!

Accepted Answer

NOT 4 internal use!: "mythbusters" suggested chemicals responsible r gum arabic & gelatine in the sweets, & caffeine, potassium benzoate (& aspartame in diet coke. What they found out : surface of the mint mentos is littered with many small holes, allowing co2 bubbles to form very rapidly & in great quantity, in turn causing the jet of foam. Same would happen w/ thumsup. If internally could cause aspiration/ drowning.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Repeat: I assume you are talking about cell changes on a pap smear.  We would repeat the pap in 3-6 months.

Question 9

please advise what is the quickest way to heal a cut (minor)?

Accepted Answer

Simple rules: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing  so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day  and protected from trauma.  Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.

Question 10

minor pain in lower left side, off and on for couple months.?

Accepted Answer

Rule out cancer: How old are you?  What is your gender?  What type of pain? Any relation to eating, bowel movement etc?  Since the pain has persisted for two months, you need to rule out serious intra-abdominal pathology, including cancer.
