May be dry socket: Please call your surgeon/ dentist. You may have a dry socket which happens when you lose the blood clot in your tooth socket. Or you may have a residual infection. Please have your local dentist do a post operative check up. Take care.

Extracted teeth: Sometimes there are postop complications, so see your dentist for evaluation. Dry socket is one of them. You may need some depris to be cleaned.

Back to your dentist: As already mentioned by my colleagues, it could be a dry socket or an unresolved infection. Make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. You should still be on antibiotics & the dentist who removed your teeth should see you for periodic post op visits until he\she is sure the infection is completely gone and healing is well under way. Also, make sure you get all your teeth checked!

Several suggestions: Evaluate your routine to determine how long it takes before the discomfort begins. This will help you determine when to stand and stretch, do isometric exercises, or a combination of both.
Evaluate your chair and if possible, obtain one that has at least three adjustment. Seat height, armrest, and lumbar.

Blisters under: Toenails are quite common in sports participants. If you're able to drain it, apply a topical antibiotic and wrap it in a band aid, that's about the best you can do short term. You might want to check on the size of the soccer boots. If too small, they can be making things worse. Also, i hope the coach/trainer has them wearing running shoes for the pure running workouts.

She might try wearing two pair of socks on each foot and see if that helps. This was something I was taught back in high school by my coach and it worked for me. ( to prevent the blisters, not treat them.)

My husband had a lung biopsy done and it resulted in hemothorax he was put on a ventilator for two days and remains hospitalized is the hospital responsible for bills of overstay ?

Dr. Robert Kwokanswered
Pediatrics 33 years experience
No, of course not: Pneumothorax and hemothorax are two of the known complications that can happen with a lung biopsy if a patient is unlucky. A patient is responsible for his bills if he has a good outcome, a medium outcome, or a bad outcome; as long as it isn't some truly strange case in which the doctor(s) and/or hospital did something unusually bad or criminal.
