Question 1

what is the most effective otc medication for jock itch? tinactin, (tolnaftate) lamasil, lotramin ultra? can i put gold bond powder on right after the cream?

Accepted Answer

Several options: There are 5 otc preps for this fungal infection. Cruex contains miconazole, a frequently used antifungal. It takes 4-6 weeks and should be used for 1 week past rash disappearance. If resistant, listerine has been found to be effective by some. Good luck. If otc doesn't work, prescription antifungal meds are not that expensive.

Question 2

on anti tb treatment for spine tb. 4th day of medications and stomach churning a lot. is it normal? by when can body get adjusted to the medicines? also tb gold report negative?

Accepted Answer

: The TB gold being negative does not mean is not TB; and there are other bacteria that could cause infection of the spine. The medication could be harsh on the bowel but you could look for ways like taking the medication slowly over the course of the day rather than taking everything at once and with food may help reduce the effect. It is important to have blood test to evaluate the liver soon.

Question 3

what medication can i give my son who is 3 month old with flu. i am not breastfeeding, i only give him s26 gold?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Tamiflu is approved for kids that age &amp; rarely if ever use it unless the kid is hospitalized. It is rarely effective if started more than 48 hrs after symptoms start. It also has a wide range of disturbing side effects seen more commonly in young kids. Most care is directed at comfort &amp; assuring fluid intake. If the kid has any difficulty breathing at any point he should be seen.

Question 4

my urine is bright neon yellow (not goldish at all), but i'm not taking any vitamins or medications other than birth control. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Urine Color: The color of your urine can be changed by dyes in foods, medications, drinks, disease and by ingesting dyes.  If you changed the brand of BCP or the generic version it could cause this.  The urinary tract medicine pyridium (phenazopyridine) is a common cause as well.  Liver disease can cause this as well.  If you have any yellowing of the whites of your eyes or this does not resolve seek medical care

Question 7

what is a quantitive gold test?

Accepted Answer

Quantiferon Gold?: Quantiferon Gold tests for Tuberculosis.

Question 8

what is better--gold or porcelein crown?

Accepted Answer

Equal: They both are effective replacements for teeth.  Porcelain tends to be a little more expensive (although that might change with the increase in the cost of gold) and is used for teeth that might show in the front of the mouth.  Gold, which is easier to fabricate, is used more towards the rear of the mouth.

Question 9

what should i do about being allergic to both silver and gold earrings?

Accepted Answer

Avoid wearing them: usually it is the other metal in the alloy, not the silver or the gold, the more pure the alloy, i.e. near 90% or above, of the noble metal, the less or no reaction

Question 10

i've taken concerta18mg & it literally made my life into a livin heaven, from feelings to actualy seeing as if gold is coming out of everything. how?

Accepted Answer

Amphetamines: Every human who would try amphetamines such as Concerta would have similar things to say.

Your description of your reaction to Concerta gives us further evidence that this is drug abuse and obsession. It is evidence that you are self medicating. People who truly have add would never describe their experience this way. 

Please do not abuse this drug.  Please seek out an expert to test you for add.
