Question 1

are there side effects to using lactose-free formula?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but all can : Babies do sometimes develop a diminished ability to digest lactose well for a week or two when they have a viral infection in the small intestines. Some pediatricians recommend switching to a lactose-free formula during this period.  Nevertheless, when a baby doesn't seem to be tolerating a formula well, switching to another will sometimes do the trick. Different formulas affect stool consistency.

Question 9

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 10

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.
