Dr. Renee B Thomas MD's Expert Contributions
  • How do you treat ringworm on the scalp?

    Treatment is best by prescription. See a doctor. Let them confirm the problem and they will issue you a prescription. It is usually a cream that goes on the lesions. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • What is the fastest way to relieve gallbladder pain?

    Probably the fastest way would be to remove the gallbladder. However at such a young age, controlling diet and possibly lithotripsy (breaking up stones; if he has them) would be more prudent and less invasive. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • How do I get rid of a fungal infection on my scalp?

    You will have to go to a physician and get a prescription for an antifungal shampoo. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • When should I take my child to the doctor for the flu?

    You should take your child to the doctor right away. First they need to conform if it is flu. Then the appropriate treatment can be given. Flu kills! RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • What causes a gastric ulcer?

    Stress, too much acid whether it is from food and drink or somethin internally going on or tumors. You would need to get it biopsied to determine whether the cause is benign or malignancy. Good luck. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • How to treat a genital fungal infection?

    Burning, itching, pain during urination and intercourse, rash. Symptoms are similar to any sort of infection. Need to go to the doctor to get tested and receive appropriate treatment. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • How are UTIs diagnosed?

    There are some over the counter stuff you can buy to check to see if you have one and treat. If you are having trouble and your symptoms get worse, see a physician. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • Can swine flu be detected by a blood test?

    I don't think so. If there are symptoms, the doctor can swab inside the nose and find out if flu is there and what type it is. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • What tests should I do for gonorrhea?

    Your doctor can swab the area in question and send it off for testing. RB Thomas,D READ MORE

  • How will my nose fungal infection be diagnosed?

    He can do a swab and send it off for a fungal culture. If you have polyps, they can be removed and examined for fungi. Good luck. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • Does a pathologist perform autopsies?

    Yes, pathologists do autopsies. If it is a requested one, the next of kin or the one with power of attorney is the ONLY one who can request the autopsy, so your mother would not be able to make this request to the pathologist herself. If the circumstances of death are suspicious, these autopsies are usually performed by forensic pathologists. They are specialists in this field. Also, law enforcement/coroners can request these without getting permission from the family. Good luck. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • How long can I expect my results from a stool analysis?

    It would depend what all you were having done on it. You may want to ask your doctor that. If the doctor is doing a lot of tests on it, it may take up to three weeks for all results back. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • How to calm a child through blood work?

    Talk to your child calmly about what is going to happen and why. Talk to your doctor and the nurses who will be drawing the blood about your child's fears before the exam begins. See if they have any advise. Develop a game pam with them and you on how to approach this. If the tests are not absolutely necessary, postpone or cancel. Something else to discuss with the doctor. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • How is HPV diagnosed?

    Part of the pap smear test includes HPV testing now. Go get one. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • What are the tests to diagnose staph infection in my nose?

    They will stick a Q-tip apparatus up your nose and test for staph. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • Can a blood test detect gonorrhea?

    Yes. READ MORE

  • What tests are used to diagnose thyroid diseases?

    I am not sure there is a difference between child and adult testing. But usually they test the thyroid hormone known as free T4. They also test a hormone that stimulates the thyroid to work called TSH. The thyroid should be examined. She may need an ultrasound of the thyroid and possibly a CT/MRI scan of the head. The brain makes TSH. This should all be done under the direction of a pediatric endocrinologist. That is a specialist who deals with hormonal issues with children. One should alway try to get the child to go to bed at a decent hour. Take away electronics 1-2 hours before bed. These things should be done first before doing any sort of extensive testing. Good luck. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

  • How do you test for fungal infection in blood?

    Possibly a fungal culture or a fungal titer. Cultures would be sent to microbiology to see if a fungus grows in the blood. A titer would be tested by a chemistry lab. Would need more details for futher explanations. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • Can a pathology report be wrong?

    Sure, but you may not have mono since a lot of things cause similar symptoms. There are more specific tests for mono. See if your doctor will order those, along with investigating other possibilities. Perhaps try another lab? Good luck. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

  • How long does it take for pathology results to come back?

    Depends on the case. Most cases come out within 24 hours. Liver biopsies take a little longer due to additional tissue testing, lab correlation and possible consultation. If your doctor keeps saying they don't have the results, call the lab directly to confirm that. If the lab says the resutls are ready, you can sign a release with the medical records department and get a copy yourself. If the lab seems reluctant to tell you anything, it is probably becuase they don't want to overstep the doctor. Some doctors get upset about that. I have had that happen to me. But if I know the results are ready, I am more than happy to give patients a copy of the results and explain the results if need be. Good luck. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE
