Question 1

I accidentally drank hot water that was around 60 or 70 degrees. My lips and tongue got burned, and I still feel a burning sensation, but the color hasnt changed and there are no burn marks. My lips have started to recover a bit, but my tongue, especially the underside, still has severe issues. It's painful to eat. Is there any ointment or medication you recommend for my tongue?

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about a small polyp in my gallbladder. Can it lead to any type of gallbladder cancer? Also, I feel some minor pain in my abdomen when I'm hungry. Could that be because of the polyp?

Accepted Answer

Having small size polyp in the gallbladder can potentially increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer, although it is rare. The minor pain in your abdomen when you are hungry may or may not be directly related to the polyp. It is important to monitor the size of the polyp regularly through imaging studies and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. As for medication, there is no specific drug to treat gallbladder polyps. However, if you are experiencing pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions on the package. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Accepted Answer

Its important to inform her TB specialist about the leg symptoms. They can determine if the issue is a side effect of the medication or if it's related to something else.
Evaluate for Peripheral Neuropathy: If the leg pain or weakness is due to nerve damage (which is common with Isoniazid), they might consider giving Vitamin B6 supplementation (to help with neuropathy), or they might change her medication regimen.
Nerve or Bone Imaging: If there is suspicion that the TB has affected her bones or joints, further imaging (like X-rays, MRI, or bone scans) may be needed.
Blood Tests: To check for any liver toxicity or vitamin deficiencies (such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, or calcium).
