  • Question on medications when it comes to burns?

    Ibuprofen is the same as Advil, Motrin, and the long-acting variant is Aleve/naproxen. If you have those, they can substitute for the ibuprofen noting that the Aleve would only be taken twice a day instead of 3-4 times a day depending on dose of ibuprofen. Aspirin has anti-inflammatory properties as well. You can use that if you prefer but they are not the same. They will not interfere with morphine or narcotics. I would take 1 gram of Tylenol/acetaminophen as well if your narcotic does not contain acetaminophen ie Norco, Percocet, Vicodin all contain tylenol. If it truly is a morphine tablet only, you will be fine. Anti-itch cream is typically hydrocortisone. This is a topical steroid that does not contain an antibiotic. If it says, triple antibiotic, that would be fine. We love bacitracin the most for burns since many react to the neomycin in Neosporin. FYI: Doordash, Uber Eats and similar apps can deliver over-the-counter meds from your local pharmacy or grocery store if you don't want to go out and purchase them. Moist is an interesting word but necessary in describing how we want you to keep the wound for optimal healing. If it is wet, it won't heal properly. We don't want it dried out and scabbing either. Moist is "just right" in this case. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • Ticks and shaking?

    I am sorry you are experiencing these symptoms and feel like you are not being heard by your treating physicians. That must be very frustrating. I am not a neurologist and am not seeing you in person. However, many of your medications can potentially worsen tics or cause involuntary shakingtremors Fluoxetine, Topamax, Elavil, Gabapentin, and Trazodone are the most likely culprits if someone is experiencing new or worsening tics or tremors. If multiple CNSactive drugs are combined e.g., antidepressants, anticonvulsants, sedatives, the risk increases. I recommend discussing a medication review with your prescribing providerespecially if symptoms began after a dose change or new medication was added. Topamax levels can be checked since if it's too elevated, it can cause tremors and myoclonus. You should also be evaluated in person for serotonin syndrome. It can initially present with symptoms like clonus, tremors, hyperreflexia, and progress to agitation, fever, and autonomic instability if untreated. Some of your medications combined with Prozac would put you at risk for this. Highrisk combinations Fluoxetine Trazodone or Fluoxetine Buspar. In addition, I would have the following labsmicronutrients checked as deficiencies can contribute to involuntary shaking, tremors, or muscle twitching. Magnesium Serum Mg Vitamin B12 Vitamin D 25hydroxy Calcium Total and Ionized Potassium Thiamine Vitamin B1 may require specialty lab or whole blood testing Iron Studies Iron Ferritin TIBC Total Iron Binding Capacity Transferrin saturation Supportive Labs if applicable CBC Complete Blood Count check for anemia or infection CMP Comprehensive Metabolic Panel kidneyliver function, electrolytes TSH Thyroid Stimulating Hormone thyroid issues can mimic tremors Homocysteine or Methylmalonic Acid more sensitive markers for B12 deficiency 1. Magnesium Function Stabilizes nerve and muscle function. Deficiency effects Tremors, muscle spasms, fasciculations, even seizures. Common causes Diuretics like Lasix, poor diet, alcohol use, GI loss vomitingdiarrhea, PPIs like Omeprazole longterm. READ MORE

  • What are the treatment options for early-stage heart failure?

    Please make sure you are following up with a cardiologist. They are the heart specialist and will likely try to optimize your heart function on medications. You can certainly help by limiting your salt intake, eating a healthy whole-food diet, and exercising. READ MORE

  • What can I do for high blood sugar levels?

    In the short term, you need medication (likely oral meds) to help treat your high glucose levels. If the levels get too high, you can get sick and may require IV medication/insulin to treat. In the long term, you need to be very selective about your diet (monitor carbohydrates and sugar intake) and be sure you are exercising regularly. READ MORE

  • Is rectal bleeding after he surgery an emergency?

    It certainly can be if it's large quantities of blood and you are symptomatic from blood loss (lightheaded, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc.). You need to follow up with your surgeon immediately to determine if the amount of bleeding you are having is normal post-op or not. READ MORE

  • Stiches

    Good news! Removing stitches doesn't require needles and has minimal discomfort. You might feel a little tugging as the suture is lifted and then snipped to remove from the skin but nothing significant. Try visualizing the process to help decrease your anxiety before the sutures are removed. You'll do great. READ MORE

  • Cough runny nose pulled muscle

    Consider getting a chest x-ray to be sure your pain isn't from a pneumonia causing irritation or from a rib you may have broken from coughing so hard. In the meantime, as long as your liver is healthy, take 1gm of Tylenol with your 600mg of Motrin every 6hrs as needed for pain. Also consider taking a decongestant to help with the runny nose causing the wet cough and a cough suppressant. READ MORE

  • Question re fluid resuscitation and heart failure in ear and procedure

    This is a tricky question and patient. Sepsis protocols say treat with fluids and intubate to protect the airway. If the ER doc is great at POCUS (beside ultrasound), they can look at the lungs for B lines to see if they are fluid overloaded or the size of the IVC to determine fluid status. CVP can also be used to help determine if they are hyper/hypo/or euvolemic.. READ MORE

  • Am sick

    Go get checked for flu, covid, and strep. Strep is a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics. With your history of asthma and complaints of trouble breathing, I’d be sure your lung sounds are ok. If you’re wheezing, you’ll need steroids and inhalers. Drink small amounts of fluids frequently, even popsicles count as fluid, so you don’t become dehydrated. READ MORE

  • What type of doctor should you see after a stroke?

    After having a stroke, your friend should follow up with a neurologist. They are the brain specialists. READ MORE

  • When should I see a doctor for testicle pain?

    Testicular pain should always be seen and evaluated quickly to rule out testicular torsion. If the pain is severe and continuous, you need to be evaluated ideally within 4-6hrs of the pain beginning. If the blood flow to the testicle is being restricted, you risk losing the testicle the longer you wait to be evaluated. Ritz XV, PLLC READ MORE

  • How should I treat sudden low blood pressure?

    If you sense your blood pressure dropping (you feel lightheaded, vision is getting dark, hearing is distant, you feel sweaty), it’s best to get down (head lower than your heart) or lay down so you don’t pass out. Staying hydrated and eating salty products can help increase your blood pressure. Check with your doctor before increasing your salt intake. READ MORE

  • What is the first aid for stroke?

    If you are having symptoms of a stroke (one sided weakness, loss of sensation, visual or speech abnormalities), the best thing you can do is call 911 and get to a hospital quickly. Strokes are much like heart attacks where the faster you receive an intervention, the better your chances are for a positive outcome. READ MORE

  • Do I have an std?

    You need to be checked for STDs and can request HIV/Hepatitis testing as well. This can be done through your PCP, the State Department of Health, or Planned Parenthood. They may recommend repeat testing in a few months depending on the length of time from exposure until your testing and the type of testing performed. Remember, peace of mind is priceless. READ MORE

  • When is IBD an emergency?

    If you are having severe abdominal pain (different from your norm) that can't be controlled with over-the-counter meds, you have uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea that is causing dehydration, you are having fevers with your symptoms, or you are having profuse rectal bleeding or blood in your stool, you should seek an emergent evaluation for your symptoms. READ MORE

  • What can the ER do for an allergic reaction?

    The emergency room can provide oral, IV, or intramuscular medications like Benadryl, steroids, Pepcid, and life-saving epinephrine depending on your symptoms to help treat the reactions from the allergy. If severe, the ER can also support your airway if breathing becomes difficult or help increase your blood pressure if you go into anaphylactic shock. READ MORE

  • Salmonella

    While technically, the answer is yes, it would be considered a rare event. Utilize good handwashing and watch for any signs of infection. READ MORE

  • Complications after hernia surgery

    Yes, you need to make an appointment with your surgeon to reevaluate the wound. You may have a wound infection or something worse brewing internally or under the skin. READ MORE

  • Hernia

    Yes, it’s safe to fly with a hiatal hernia. Enjoy your trip! READ MORE

  • Red bump

    Are you sexually active? If you are, the next questions would be, is it painful or painless? Painless we want to rule out syphilis and if it’s painful, we would consider testing for herpes. Your PCP or an STD clinic could certainly check you for these to be safe though results could take a few business days. READ MORE
