Question 1

I'm allergic to penicillin, and I've been taking Augmentin 625, but I guess I need to find an alternative. Is there another good antibiotic that I could safely use instead? I'd love some guidance here since I'm a bit concerned about what my options are.

Accepted Answer

A diagnosis of Drug allergy needs formal testing in which small amount of the drug is injected into the skin over the forearm and we wait till any reaction develop to the drug like:
Hypotension (sudden fall in BP)
Tachycardia (fast heart beat )
Shortness of breath
Rashes all over the body .
Next Steps
if you are truly tested as penicillin allergic then the answer to your question is erythromycin you can use it as an alternative to agumentin.

Question 2

I'm dealing with a healing anal fissure and I'm thinking about having sex with my girlfriend. Could this make my fissure worse or cause any problems?

Accepted Answer

HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a common sexually transmitted infection.

Treatment for genital warts caused by HPV:

1. Topical treatments: Imiquimod cream, Podofilox solution, or Sinecatechins ointment
2. Cryotherapy: Freezing the warts with liquid nitrogen
3. Surgical removal: Excision or laser treatment
4. Antiviral medications: Interferon or Cidofovir (in severe cases)

Consult a dermatologist or a urologistgynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Note: HPV itself cannot be "cured," but the symptoms (genital warts) can be treated.

Question 3

My sister got a small cut with a rusty iron sickle. I'm kind of worried if she needs to get a tetanus shot. The last time she had one was on December 1, 2020, which is over six months ago. The wound is really minor, just a tiny bit of blood when we p...

Question 6

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.
