how to prevent further deterioration of gap between the front teeth? | i have read through your complaint and the relevant details. tooth gaps in the front are inherited in families to a certain extent. a study has even proved that there is as high as 62. 5% of patients have midline gap running in families. you also have mentioned that one of your incisor teeth is rotated. this means the tooth has adjusted to space during the eruption of other permanent teeth in that row. these midline gaps can be easily corrected. there are a lot of methods to correct them. but considering your age i advise you to visit your nearby orthodontist that is braces specialist to analyse the condition. you need not worry that your teeth are deteriorating because gap closure treatment through braces does not involve any grinding of any tooth. also i would recommend you to choose braces treatment in order to correct the rotated tooth as well as the closure of the gap for a successful long time result. this is better comparing any filling procedures which cannot be claimed to be permanent. the braces treatment takes up to one year to complete. but it is worth the wait. you can smile without any shy. for further information consult a dentist online --> <link> |
is west nile virus contagious? | the short answer is "no. " you cannot get west nile virus by coming in contact with a person who has the illness. west nile virus is spread by infected mosquitos. you can only get west nile virus if you are bitten by an infected mosquito. the best way to avoid getting west nile virus is to use an insect repellent whenever you plan to be outdoors during the summer and fall when the mosquito population is highest. the centers for disease control recommends using a product that contains one of these active ingredients: • deet • picaridin • oil of lemon eucalyptus (or pmd) • ir3535 mosquito activity increases at dusk and dawn. if you must be outside during these times use insect repellant and wear long sleeves and pants if possible. the key to avoiding west nile virus is to avoid being bitten by an infected mosquito. symptoms of the illness may include headache nausea vomiting a stiff neck or muscle weakness. if you have been exposed to mosquito bites and have any of these symptoms see your healthcare provider. |

what causes head lice. i understand how it spreads. i want to know how is it contracted in the beginning? | head lice are on people. they live on the scalp of humans mostly children. i don't know who in history started it (maybe one of adam and eves two boys? ) but head lice have been annoying people for hundreds of thousands of years. head lice do not live very long off of their human hosts. most infestations occur from close human contact again common in children. sharing of hats combs brushes etc is a good way to get them. trying to track down how a particular person got head lice would take a team of fbi agents so just get it treated effectively. that is what is most important. |

is it advisable to get the shingles vaccine and a flu shot on the same day. none | yes you can get the flu shot and the shingles vaccine on the same day. that means two shots because you can't give them in the same shot. however the cdc does not recommend giving two "live" vaccines on the same day. that means the organisms are live but weakened. the nasal spray flu vaccine and the shingles vaccine are live. so you can't get those on the same day. in fact the recommendation is to wait 4 weeks in between. however there's no problem with the flu shot (the virus is dead) and the shingles vaccine on the same day. |
my father takes 160 mg of diovan and 100 mg of metoprolol daily for his blood pressure. it that too much? | there are no significant interactions to be concerned about and there is no overdose here. many people require several medications to get their blood pressure under control – it is very common. the important thing is to get his blood pressure to where it needs to be usually less than 140/90 to lower his chances of having a heart attack or stroke. |

what is the average time a person will have pain after knee surgery | there is no thing called "average" when it comes to a person. or a person who has knee surgery. every person on this planet is different when it comes to their ability to deal with pain and not all knee surgeries (or the surgeon performing them) are the same either. so there are no "average times" for pain duration. the only person that could give you a rough estimate would be the surgeon who did the procedure -- someone who is familiar with the case and someone who knows what kind of surgery that was done. |
can anemia be linked to diabetes? | anemia (reduced red blood cell number and/or volume) is more common in patients with longstanding diabetes. this is probably due to the effect of diabetes on the kidney which makes the hormone erythropoietin. erythropoietin stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells but this hormone is reduced in patients with moderate or severe diabetic kidney damage resulting in under-stimulated red blood cell production by the marrow. most people with diabetes do not have anemia in the absence of kidney disease. it is easy to test for anemia and kidney disease with simple blood tests that most people with diabetes have had many times. there are many potential causes of anemia including iron deficiency b12 or folic acid deficiency heavy menstrual bleeding ulcer in the stomach or upper intestine colon cancer kidney disease etc. diabetes itself is not really a primary cause. |

my grandmother had shingles two years ago. i'm six months pregnant. is it safe for me and my baby to be around her? | yes it is safe assuming that she does not currently have an outbreak. even if she does as long as it is covered by clothing (like on her chest) it is fine. if her shingles is active on an exposed surface like the face she should not have direct contact with the baby or you. |

can you get pimples inside of your vagina near the edge of the vaginal opening? . i recently noticed a few pimple-looking bumps inside my vagina on the edge towards the anus. i have never noticed them before and without me visually inspecting them i wouldn't have known they were there as they do not hurt. however they do hurt if i touch them like a fresh acne pimple would on other body parts but more sensitive considering the location. . is it possible to get pimples inside of the vagina? what can i do for that? (before i go see a physician). thank you. | i'm sorry you're dealing with this but it's a good thing you noticed. you need to get these pimples checked out right away. lesions in the vagina in the area of the vulva or around the anus can be signs of a sexually transmitted disease such as genital herpes or human papilloma virus (hpv). if you have one of these conditions it's imperative you know it so you can get appropriate treatment and understand what you need to do to protect your sex partners. these stds are easily transmitted. until you've had these pimples diagnosed you must avoid having sex of any kind (oral vaginal anal). of course it's possible the pimples you're describing are not any kind of std. this is why you need to see a health care provider to receive a diagnosis. please remember to always practice safe sex by using a condom. a properly used condom will not protect against the transmission of all sexually transmitted diseases but it's a good start. take care! |
i've had chest/neck/back pain recently with bad headaches does this sound like stress or something more? . last night i had a lot of chest and back pain with no apparent cause. i have been having neck aches and headaches over the past week and i know it wasn't a panic attack (i've had them before). is this just stress related or should i be more concerned? about 2 months ago i got a new job which has been a stressful adjustment. i've also been very tired recently and it almost feels like my brain isn't working correctly. it's like i can feel something is missing mentally that used to be there. | i'm sorry to hear you're suffering like this. it's bad enough to take on a new job without then coming down with mysterious physical symptoms! unfortunately it's impossible to tell whether this is serious or not. obviously you should know the symptoms of a heart attack and also know the risk factors for heart disease. while anyone can have a heart attack it's more likely among people with multiple risk factors. i would suggest you make an appointment with your primary health care provider to evaluate your symptoms. your provider probably will want to run some tests such as blood work or possibly and ekg. many medical conditions could cause the symptoms you describe including low thyroid. your health care provider can correlate your health history with your new symptoms to arrive at a diagnosis. i hope you feel better soon! |

is lidocaine patch approved by fda for sugical nerve trauma. surgical trauma of nerve tissue treated by lidocaine patch approved by fda? i have been using them for at least 3 years and they work for me. however now medicare part d is saying they are not fda approved for this condition. i have other articles saying differently. please explain. | the medication has fda approval however if the fda didn't approve it for the exact reason you're using it your plan may deny coverage. there could be other reasons they won't cover it. maybe you need prior authorization or there are limits to the amount you can buy or the particular brand your doctor prescribes isn't covered. insurance policies impose a wide range of rules we must follow to have our care or prescription drugs covered. i would go further with your health plan and push to speak with someone who can give you a clear understanding of why you suddenly can't get the patches so you have a better idea of how to proceed. |
i have been suffering from prostatitis there is presence of pseudomonas fluorescens need second opinion? | hi i disagree with your doctor as your pseudomonas fluorescens is responsible for your problems prostatitis is evidence enough that pseudomonas fluorescens is causing your problems recommend taking antibiotics depending on bacterial culture results notice that it is common to ignore pseudomonas fluorescens but not in your case good luck |
i had black diarrhea last p. m. now tarry. light headed and short of breath when standing d face gets pale . i did take ibuprofen occasionally for knee pain past couple weeks i ate several choc cookie night before and choc donuts next day. a stomach bug has gone through my family. | yes foods that we eat can cause black tarry stools. but chocolate donuts cookies don't sound like the cause. thinks like black licorice pepto- bismuth blueberries and iron supplements are more likely suspects for sources of ingested products causing the black-tarry color. the diarrhea and feeling light- headed can go along with the stomach bug. ibuprofen can be harsh to the digestive tract and might cause some internal bleeding. but the shortness of breath is a disturbing symptom when combined with feeling light-headed and having black-tarry diarrhea. this could be a sign of a more significant medical problem and even a medical emergency. conditions such as ulcers gastritis hemorrhoids a stomach tear called mallory-weiss (usually caused by violent coughing") and some types of cancer are legitimate medical concerns. i recommend that you go to the emergency room of a nearby hospital to rule-out any type of internal bleeding that could change from minimal to massive quickly. be prepared for possible testing including barium studies x-rays rectal exam stool specimen culture and a colonoscopy. as you can see by this answer many possible causes may be the reason for your present medical condition. it is virtually impossible to diagnosis the exact cause of your problem through only your question on this web site. since the possibility does exist no matter how remote that you may be in a serious medical crisis please go the hospital (don't hesitate to call 911) where trained medical personnel and testing equipment are available. |

i'm a retired woman who took social security disability retirement and i have private insurance as well. i am 59 years old. can you tell me what changes i will see in regard to my personal medical care once obamacare becomes completely immersed in our lives? | if you have private insurance you may need to switch to a new plan that complies with the law. if that's the case however you likely would have already received a notice from your insurer. it's likely based on your description that you will qualify for a subsidy so it's possible you'll see the cost of your private health insurance go down. take a look at healthcare. gov to begin exploring your options. |
what could it mean if a biopsy from a lesion that has been removed from the arm comes back abnormal? | the term "abnormal" is quite vague. it simply means "not normal". when it comes to a biopsy the most important question would be if this lesion was cancerous or not. some lesions are read as abnormal when they are precancerous lesions. you will need to get a more thorough explanation from your medical provider ask for your exact pathological diagnosis and then inquire about the next step. this could involve excising the lesion wider and more completely various treatments or just watchful waiting. all you really know now is that your biopsy was "abnormal". you need much more information from your medical provider. |
what's best for seasickness or motion sickness? | this is an area that we have to be a little careful with because of the fact that i get a lot of questions from pregnant women about this. there are products which can be used which actually aren't drugs at all they are called sea bands. there is actually a product that's a wrist bracelet and it applies pressure to certain areas of the wrist and there is no side effects but it does tend to work. i also ask people if they are going to be going on a boat trip or a long boating or a train trip because that's when people tend to feel the most seasick or motion sickness. there are a few things that i tell people to keep in mind. try to not read when you are traveling in a train or in the car. this is known to be a trigger of causing this. you also want to try to maintain a good sight a straight line of vision because if you are moving your head allover the place you are going to get dizzier even more. then also try not to drink or eat excessively when you are on these type of trips. i know it's hard but once again alcohol can cause you to not feel so well get a little dizzy especially with a little nausea. there are products that are available. if you are pregnant though these products are not meant for you to take because they are not safe in women who are pregnant. but for an average adult they contain antihistamine and what it does is it causes a little bit of drowsiness and it tries to kind of calm down that center in the brain that triggers nausea and vomiting. they may cause a little bit of drowsiness so you want to be careful but they are available in a tubal form as well so it's easier for people who maybe don't have access to water or to have a drink or older adults who really have a problem sometimes swallowing pills. so great products. they are available. once again talk to your pharmacist because if you are on some other medications there could be some interactions so we will need to talk to you first before we recommend those products. |
what causes pneumonia? | viruses cause many cases of pneumonia but bacteria are the most common cause of pneumonia in adults over the age of 30. fungi can also cause pneumonia. many of these germs are all around us. they usually can't get past a healthy person's natural defenses. that's why pneumonia is most common in elderly people in cigarette smokers in alcoholics and in people suffering from other diseases such as the flu. |
does adding one tsp baking soda to glass of water help uti go away? what home remedy can work? | no baking soda will not cure a uti and there are few if any home remedies. a long-standing home remedy was cranberry juice but recent studies have proved it is not very effective either. personally i still recommend it since making the urine more acidic seems to be helpful. if you truly have a uti i would recommend that you seek proper medical care. utis have a nasty habit of becoming worse often spreading from the bladder to the kidneys. |
82 year old male fully conscious but can’t stand up doctors have no diagnosis except autoimmune neuropathy? | his digestive system is clearly unable to digest food which can cause lose of conciousness and unability to move changing diet to easier digested food like courgette yogurt sauerkraut kimishi chicken breastes brown rice salamon babanas eggs oat avocadogoodluck regaining strength |

my doctor asks me to get a tetanus vaccine upon an injury when i am doubtful of acquiring tetanus. . is this anti-tetanus vaccine? if so for how long do these vaccines are effective? some say it for three months or for six months. is it okay if one gets this vaccine before twenty-four hours of injury? | the tetanus vaccine is good for ten years but some medical providers will recommend a booster vaccine sooner than that if there is some doubt as to the previous date or if the wound is particularly prone. the disease tetanus is very rare in the united states (not so rare in other countries) but if you should get it it has an extremely high fatality rate. getting a vaccine every ten years for 100% protection is really the best deal out there in the vaccine world. getting the vaccine 24 hours before a planned injury (? ) is unlikely to be very effective unless of course you have prior immunity from a previous tetanus still on board. |
recent mammogram abnormal finding is biopsy needed? | do mri and then go for the us guided biopsy titanium markers is not that imp. in managment |
how can i determine if my new glasses are causing my headaches? | there are several things you can check with the glasses. (i wear glasses too when i don't have contact in. ) 1. if you have astigmatism the lens needs to be correctly centered on your eyeball and if it is off you will feel off balance. 2. if the difference between the right and left eye (in terms of how strong the lens power is) is high (more than about 2 number units like 1. 00 in one eye and 3. 00 in the other) you may feel off balance until you get used to the new glasses. 3. if the "power" of your lenses is pretty high ( or - 2. 50 or higher) you will notice that things are distorted in your peripheral vision. 4. if the nose piece/support or the temple pieces (that go over your ears) are not adjusted just right for your face the glasses could give you a headache (no ones face is perfectly symmetric and most people have one eye or ear slightly higher than the other) i've had problems with both #2 and #3 above and several patients with problems from #1 and #4 as a cause for headaches. bifocal lens have similar problems as #1 above. |
i start spotting on and off from the 25 of october but i took four pregnancy test and they all show negative. | hi ok so your spotting but have you missed your period yet its best if you test only if you do miss a period or better still have one done by your doctor. best way. good luck |

why am i constantly tired? i don't believe i am sleep-deprived. what can i do to help this? . i am tired all day long every day. getting out of bed in the morning is always a chore no matter how many hrs of sleep i get. i am constantly yawning throughout the day. i could nap at pretty much any time almost anywhere. i have increased my exercise level recently i work full time at a very mentally and physically exhausting place and i am in graduate school full time too. on avg i get about 6 hrs of sleep. however some days i get 5 hrs of sleep and some days i may sleep as many as 10. | update: i haven't ever been to a doctor to be diagnosed with anything but i do believe i am depressed to some extent. i am pretty sure i am not sleeping well at night. i am pretty sure i am not getting the vitamins i need. i am still trying to figure out how to remedy this. thanks for the suggestions <positive_smiley> |
can you take tylenol and benadryl together? | this is a great question to ask you pharmacist. yes it is fine to take these medications but make sure you tell your doctor or health care provider along with your pharmacist and add them to your personal medication list. make sure you follow the instructions on the package for each and be aware of the possible side effects like drowsiness dizziness and dry mouth. if you have any questions just ask! |
what ar symptoms of angina pectoris in women? . have symptoms of indigestion with pain going through to back. uncomfortable rather than severe. could it be heart problems? | yes this could be a symptom of heart trouble. while some women do get the classic signs of a heart attack (crushing or squeezing pain at the mid-chest shortness of breath lightheadedness anxiety) other women have symptoms such as pain at the mid-back shoulder breast or arm. this pain usually is described as "severe " rather than "uncomfortable " however. if you suspect you are having a heart attack please seek immediate medical attention by dialing 911. regarding angina pectoris specifically the symptoms are the same in women as in men: discomfort burning or aching in the chest back neck throat or jaw. it is frequently mistaken for indigestion. if you take antacids or other anti-indigestion medications and don't get relief it could be a sign of angina pectoris. this should be evaluated by a medical provider as angina is a sign of coronary artery disease. i hope you feel better soon and that your symptoms are nothing more than acid reflux! |

can i safely take the plan b one step pill two times in one week? | plan b is to prevent implantation of the fertilized egg into the uterine wall. in order for this to work effectively it must be taken within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse. if you are purchasing more than one pack of plan b to use more than once per month then you should consider using another form of contraception or consider taking birth control pills which many pharmacies have on their discounted program lists. |
i recently learned a loved one has hsv-2 (genital herpes). should i be concerned with interaction with my child? | the only good thing about genital herpes is that it is well "contained". you can only spread this disease by direct genital contact with another person (or through oral sex). there is absolutely no reason why this person cannot be around children or other people. genital herpes will not transmit through clothing. |
foods are having weird tastes could i be pregnant. my boyfriend and i have unprotected sex a lot. i am on birth control and i know there is a risk of still getting pregnant. lately i've had weird cravings my boobs have been sore and earlier today i was eating french fries with bbq sauce and it tasted like bananas. i haven't noticed any other symptoms and i don't have a period ever because of the birth control. could i be pregnant? | hi not having periods gives a problem as its best to test on the first day of a missed period. so if your still worried get to your doctor and get a test done there. and your taste buds could be dysgeusia ( bad taste problem) your find comes from hormone changes so you could be that 1% pregnant. hope this helps you. good luck |

can i take relpax 40 mg for migraine when i take my norco for back pain? is there a side effect if i do mix these two? | this is a good question that you can always ask your pharmacist. you can be on both of these medications at the same time. i would recommend staying home if possible when you take your relpax with the norco so you can see how they make you feel (it may be hard to distinguish between the possible side effects and a migraine). make sure that you carry a personal medication list that has all of your medications including over-the-counter medications and make sure you show that list to your pharmacist doctor and other health care providers. |

i’ve seen those glycolic peels advertised in magazines. can't i just buy the stuff from the internet and save money? | glycolic acid is a chemical that's designed to make your skin cells less sticky so that they slough off. glycolic acid in its pure form when its not buffered its a strong acid and if you put it on the skin and don't neutralize it it will keep working and eventually burn your skin as a chemical burn. over-the-counter glycolic acid are buffered. they are somewhat neutralized so that they are less likely to create a chemical or too strong a chemical reaction in your skin. so the ones that you get from your doctor would be stronger. the doctor will watch the treatment and then neutralize it at the appropriate time for you to have the desired benefit. if you are going to do one from over-the-counter it has to be a milder form of it in order to have that benefit without the risk. |

what is a fatty liver and will weight loss help? | once a fatty liver shows up by imaging studies - such as a sonongram it means that at least 30% of your liver is laden with fat. this is very unhealthy for your liver and impacts your likelihood of curing hcv with antiviral treatment. . in addition to a healthy weight-loss diet and exercise program studies have demonstrated that the following vitamins may be helpful in treating fatty livers - vitamin e betaine vitamin c vitamin d. of course prior to starting any new diet/vitamins/and exercise you must check with your personal physician as he/she knows the details of your history best. . i actually researched and published on this issue over 2 decades ago -- and found that losing 10% of your current body weight will significantly impact the amount of fat on your liver. . liver is getting to much or to less of something i was diagnosed with fatty liver in about 2005 from my primary care doctor. at the time i liked to drink a few beers with the boys and he said i needed to stop my drinking. well i started to research on the topic. much of what i read pointed toward and my doctor agreed that weight loss was the main issue. so i told him i wanted to look at getting weight loss surgery. him and i disagree here because he thought i just needed to totally quit drinking and i thought lets try weight loss surgery and possibly supplements to help. while we still disagreed some he made me appointment with a weight loss center in spokane wa. to this day that was the best decision i have made. ever since then my ability to help my own liver numbers have been much easier. i have been using milk thistle along with weight loss ever since and am doing very good even today with good blood work ups and so forth. my doctor though is still negative on what i did. oh well its 2015. liver numbers still good! i still drink some and take milk thistle. i believe diet would help when there are fat deposits from alcoholism or obesity |

foods such as oysters are rumored to be aphrodisiacs. are there any scientifically proven aphrodisiacal foods or herbs? . sounds like a case for mythbusters but they'd have to air that particular show on a premium cable channel. | most helpful answer no. if there were everyone would be eating them. there has always been rumors about raw oysters one of my favorite foods. i ate a dozen one time and only about four of them worked (just kidding. an old joke). people have claimed that ginseng and other herbs have the potential to enhance sexual performance but so far any studies have only been anecdotal and pure lies. the biggest turn on to the opposite sex is not the food we eat but rather how we act and how well we treat them. if there are aphrodisiac foods i haven't heard of them. |

what is albumin? | albumin is an important protein made by the liver and released continuously into the blood. one of albumin’s main functions is to bind with other substances in the blood to help them get where they need to go. for example albumin binds to thyroid hormone and certain drugs and nutrients allowing their stable transport through the blood to their destination. albumin molecules also act like tiny sponges inside blood vessels keeping fluid inside rather than allowing it to leak out. for this reason albumin may sometimes be given as an intravenous medicine to raise blood pressure in hospitalized people. albumin is often checked routinely by doctors in a liver function test panel. severe liver disease can cause low albumin levels as the liver loses its ability to make enough albumin. severe malnutrition also causes low albumin. however many illnesses can cause a temporary drop in albumin levels and most people with a slightly low albumin on a blood test do not have liver disease or any nutritional problem. |
