hi doctors. yesterday i weighed myself. i did not get a chance to eat until around 8:45 last night when i ate half a tuna salad sandwich and a 10 calorie dietseltzer when i went on the scale this morning i had gained around one pound. is that typical?

Question

My doctor says im underweight for my height but doesn't tell me a way to help me get up to my ideal weight because as much as i eat i never gain weigh?

Answer 1

Weight Fluctuation: Daily weight fluctuation is normal. The average adult's weight fluctuates up to 5 or 6 pounds per day. It all comes down to what and when you eat, drink, exercise, and even sleep. Try to weigh yourself at the same time every day. It’s often recommended that you weigh yourself first thing in the morning after you use the bathroom.

Answer 2

The loose skin : Should be trimmed away, the blister cleaned, then dressed with an antibiotic ointment and then covered with a band aid. It will take a few days, but the soreness will gradually decrease as the skin under the blister dries out and toughens up.

Answer 3

If you can....: Gentley remove the hanging piece of skin: do so but be careful not to pull it and create a bigger sore/wound. Apply antibiotic cream or ointment and a bandaid. If still troublesome, see a podiatrist.

Answer 4

Off load area: Apply a topical antibiotic off load the blister area so that the shoe does not hit the wound. We like the skin to stay on but if it is just hanging i would remove it.

Answer 5

Fast Healing: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day and protected from trauma. Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.

Answer 6

Wisdom teeth: No. This is not typical. You should get it evaluated by the doctor that extracted the wisdom tooth.

Answer 7

Wisdom teeth complic: Unless your surgery was very complicated and the tooth was impacted very deep inside the bone, I do not think that to have your lip swollen 6 weeks after surgery, is normal.... I suggest - you seek second opinion with an experienced oral surgeon.

Answer 8

No: Is it swollen or is it numb. Typically, you shouldn't have swelling of the lip. This sounds like it could be a numb lip. You should see the surgeon.

Answer 9

Doctor can evaluate: For new onset of asthma symptoms in an adult, he can see and follow-up with his primary care doctor. If symptoms are difficult to get rid of, or are unusual, the patient can see an allergy & asthma specialist, and/or see a pulmonologist (lung doctor). Pulmonary function tests and allergy tests can be helpful when looking for the best treatments. For bad symptoms, the E.R. Is the place to go to.

Answer 10

Unlikely: If all testing negative, i doubt it. You may have simply not ovulated last cycle and that is why you are so late. Are your periods normally regular? Check with your obgyn and good luck.

Answer 11

Constipation: Constipation causes are variable. Is diabetes well controlled? Increase dietary fiber and water intake. Fiber supplement such as benefiber or citrucel or konsyl may be of benefit. If problem persists, see your doctor.
