Question 3

how will a 23 year old get chronic kidney disease who is not diabetic, when diagnised was having high bp and metalic taste in mouth and vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Is it real?: Based on a fad for overinterpreting spot creatinine levels, every young man who's well-muscled is now being diagnosed with "chronic kidney disease", much to the chagrin of both the lab medicine and nephrology communities. Demand a proper diagnosis before you get turned into a kidney patient.

Question 4

diagnosed with morganella morganii from dna urine analysis. primary said i cant do gentamicin due to kidney disease. and my analysis is resistant to any antibiotic by mouth. what can i do to get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

: There are  antibiotics other than gentamycin class which can also treat this. Sensitivity report is very important. Suggest see a Urologist to find why you have this and proper treatment. Good luck

Question 5

i have coated tongue, esp in furrow. can you show photos of thrush?

Accepted Answer

Brush your tongue: A coated tongue does not necessarily mean you have thrush, which is an oral yeast infection.  If the coating looks like cottage cheese curds, can be easily wiped away and it leaves the surface of tongue looking red. You should be brushing your tongue with your toothbrush after brushing your teeth, each and every time you brush. After a few days, your tongue should look normal. Questions, see dds.

Question 6

for 5 months i 've had a white coated tongue with a sweet taste in my mouth. what is causing this and how can i get ride of it?

Accepted Answer

Possibly fungal: See a dentist to confirm the diagnosis but it is likely nothing serious. It may be a mild fungal infection that can be treated with an anti fungal medication, or possibly excess debris that can be reduced with proper oral hygiene. Good luck!

Question 7

i recently asked a question here what could cause coated tongue apart from thrush and was told squamous cells. what are squarmous cells on tongue!

Accepted Answer

Squamous Cells: Squamous Cells are flat, scale like cells that cover our digestive &amp; respiratory tracts, hollow organs &amp; much of the outer layer of skin. Thus, squamous cells are normal on the tongue.

Question 8

i have had yellow/coated tongue for 4 months & have done everything to get rid of it and it still comes back everyday. any advice or pills that work?

Accepted Answer

Possible fungal infe: First, a detailed history is necessary, and I would try with a antifungal agent like Mycilex troches, and use tongue sweeper 2x a day and good oral hygiene. Dr Neksovic
