Question 1

Accepted Answer

Hormones?: Hyperosmia is most commonly associated with pregnancy.    You list that you are on too many medications to list.  I am wondering if  you are on hormones.   That might explain it.

Question 2

is there a threatmnet for hyperosmia (high sensitivity in smelling) ?

Accepted Answer

Depends on diagnosis: There is no standard pill treatment for hyperosmia itself though air filters can reduce the delivery of smells to the nose.  However, the key issue is cause of hyperosmia.  New and/or evolving hyperosmia suggest seeing ENT for evaluation.

Question 3

what are the treatments or acute hyperosmia?

Accepted Answer

Very little to treat: Actually, this is an uncommon problem.  I mostly see it in patients withdrawing from certain drugs such as Ativan, Xanax, and Valium which gets better over about 1-2 weeks.  I've used dopamine antagonists such as Reglan (metoclopramide) before or just treated withdrawal symptoms from the benzos but honestly, now my habit is to just recommend the patient be conservative and avoid places with strong odors.

Question 4

can hashimoto's encephalopathy cause hyperosmia?

Accepted Answer

Hyperosmia: Hyperosmia is a hightened sense of smell.  Most people with encephalitis have a decrease in smell (hypo-osmia).  You need to have the radiologist check the last imaging study to ensure there are no masses in the olfactory tracts. PDT of the time this information in on the readings.  Check with you ENT and they can look at the CT or MRI as well.  Good luck and feel better!

Question 5

best cold remedy?

Accepted Answer

Tincture of time!: Millions have colds yearly.  It is due to rhinoviruses and others.  There is no cure.  Rest, humidification, fluids, proper nutrution (chicken soup), fever control, vitamn c, perhaps an antihistamine to dry one up or perhaps a decongestant to open one up may be used.  But usually observation, fluids and rest are all that is needed.  Cover the coughs, nose and wash the hands.  Stay at home!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Scoliosis: Is curvature of the spine. Mild to moderate cases are followed with symptomatic treatment. Severe cases may require surgery.

Question 7

remedy to an daily headce?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: It's unusual to have daily headaches.  The treatment depends on the cause of the headache.  Much more medical history, lab work and possible imaging studies are needed to figure this out.  See your doctor to discuss evaluation.  Something is going on and you need to find what that is.

Question 8

what's the best remedy for cold?

Accepted Answer

Sleep and hydration: A cold is usually the result of a virus, which will resolve on its own after 3-5 days. Some days may be tough while other days more mild. You should strive to get plenty of sleep, rest, and good nutrition and hydration. Your cold will pass, and you will feel good as new.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Meds for symptoms: Medicines that relieve symptoms: lozenges for sore throat, decongestants for congestion, and cough medicine for cough.

Question 10

what's the best remedy for mollescum?

Accepted Answer

Leave it alone...: This is a poxvirus, 4 -subtypes (mcv1-4), and can be quite contagious..Lasting from 3wks to 2-3 months, but an outbreak can last to 18 months. They often resolve without treatment..Attempts at removal such as scraping/rubbing may actually spread the virus more. Topical such as wart cream or 10% benzoyl peroxide(acne cream) can help. Cryotherapy by your doc also can be tried...Good luck..
