View allI'm really curious and a bit worried about how long someone with RHD can live when they're on penicillin treatment. I started taking Penidure injections when I was just 10 years old and I'm still on them. I was wondering if it's okay to switch to Pentides tablets instead. Also, do people with RHD tend to have a lot of issues after getting married?
RHD patients can survive with treatment with penicillin for a long time, often throughout their lifetime to prevent complications such as rheumatic fever. - The duration of penicillin treatment varies depending on the individual's condition, but it is commonly recommended to be taken continuously to prevent recurrent infections. - Penidure injection is a common form of penicillin used for RHD treatment. As a substitute, Pentides tablets can be taken. The usual dosage of Pentides tablets for RHD treatment is 300 mg once a month. - RHD patients may face complications after marriage if they do not continue with their penicillin prophylaxis, as the risk of recurrent rheumatic fever increases with inadequate treatment. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are important to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I'm a bit concerned about some of my recent health numbers and would love some insight. My creatinine level came back at 0.66, my HbA1c is 6.3, and my triglycerides are at 208. Also, my LDL is 100.40. On top of that, I'm dealing with blood pressure issues. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean for my overall health and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?
Your creatinine level is within normal range. Your HbA1c level is slightly elevated, indicating borderline diabetes control. Your triglyceride level is high, and your LDL cholesterol level is also elevated. For your blood pressure problems, you can start taking a combination medication like Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg at night to help lower your LDL cholesterol level. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to improve your overall health.

I've got high cholesterol and I'm wondering if having 1kg of milk daily is okay or if I should cut back. Can you suggest how much milk would be beneficial for my condition?
For high cholesterol, consuming 1kg of milk per day may not be the best approach as it is high in saturated fats which can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels. It is recommended to limit saturated fats in the diet. Instead, focus on a balanced diet that includes low-fat dairy products in moderation. A more suitable option for managing cholesterol levels would be to incorporate plant-based alternatives such as almond milk or soy milk which are lower in saturated fats. Additionally, including foods rich in soluble fiber such as oats, fruits, and vegetables can help lower cholesterol levels. There is no specific dosage of milk recommended for managing cholesterol, but it is advisable to consult with a dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health needs.
