What can I give my child for a sinus infection?
Often, using cold and sinus meds (over the counter) is enough. Sometimes it needs antibiotics and should be seen by a physician for that. READ MORE
What doctors can help with epilepsy?
She needs to follow with a neurologist. READ MORE
What is causing my symptoms?
There are multiple reasons behind this, some being serious. I recommend you get checked by your primary care physician ASAP. READ MORE
Feeling poorly?
You might need to be seen, examined and get some labs to check your thyroid for example. If you had adverse effects due to Adderall, these should be gone after stopping it. If you try it again with the same side effects, you can try alternatives. READ MORE
What vitamins can help you get pregnant?
I am not aware of any that help. But since you're trying, make sure that you're taking folic acid (0.4mg/day); you can get it by itself, or in prenatal vitamins. READ MORE
What should I eat before general anesthesia?
The usual recommendation is NOTHING! Patients are usually allowed to have their medications with a little water. READ MORE
Can a doctor charge a fee for giving me biopsy results?
There is no one answer. Some doctors will do it without extra charges (most common). Some doctors, especially if this task took time/effort, might charge. Ideally, they should communicate their plan of charging or not upfront, without surprises. READ MORE
What are the treatment options for tachycardia?
Before talking about treatment, we have to think about what is causing it. This is usually done during a visit to a doctor, getting an EKG done, often with some blood work and sometimes additional testing. Treatment options are dictated by the results of the work-up. READ MORE
Loss of taste and smell?
It could be COVID. The home tests are not 100% accurate. Note that some people with the Flu can have a loss of smell and taste. It usually gets better with time. Trying to stimulate the olfactory senses (with different smells) could help. READ MORE
Diagnosis for these symptoms?
It sounds like a viral episode (COVID is just one example). I recommend getting checked, especially with the history of type 1 diabetes. READ MORE
Do I need to take folic acid before getting pregnant?
It is recommended to be on folic acid while trying to conceive (ideally, 3 months prior). READ MORE
I just did a covid home test and it came back positive?
Most likely you have the COVID-19. Many have been having mild symptoms, especially if you got COVID in the past, or were vaccinated. I would consider it positive, and follow quarantine measures as recommended by the CDC or your Department of Health. READ MORE
This morning I woke up with a sharp pain in my chest whenever I breathe in too deep?
I also recommend getting checked/examined by a physician. Someone has to listen to your lungs and make sure you don't have an infection that will need to be treated with an antibiotic. READ MORE
What can my friend with cancer drink?
It is ok. Pedialyte is more of a hydrating solution (like having an IV in with fluids). "Boost" is more to for calories, proteins, helpful if one is not able to eat well, and losing weight. READ MORE
COVID-19 vaccine - 2 boosters after J&J?
Although not part of the guidelines, I think it's ok to receive a second dose. READ MORE
Is my neck lump/pain is serious?
More details are needed regarding your condition. A neck lump could be benign, but there are some conditions that are more serious (and rarer). Better visit your PCP. READ MORE
How can type 2 diabetes be controlled during pregnancy?
Many will go toward insulin directly, but some oral pills that can be used as well. Recommend working with a dietician as well. READ MORE
