Question 1

I've had this lymph node that got swollen after a fever a couple of years ago, and I used to press it a lot back then. I just recently got tested for HIV and VDRL, both came back negative, and I feel good overall, like my weight's normal and all. Do you think the swelling could be from pressing it too much back then, or could there be something else going on that's more serious?

Accepted Answer

That could be reactive lymphnode for your infection,visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm trying to figure out the right way to give Arachitol Nano 60k solution for Vitamin D3. Should I give it before or after breakfast? If I start tomorrow, which day should be the next dose? Any advice would be great!

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and test results, here's a summary and recommendations:

*Summary*

1. Initial sonography showed a small prominence in the left renal pelvis.
2. CT scan was normal.
3. You experienced mild pain in the left bladder and testicles, which persisted despite treatment for a suspected stone.
4. A follow-up sonography showed an extrarenal pelvis.

*Recommendations*

1. *Consult a urologist*: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to discuss your symptoms and test results.
2. *Further evaluation*: Your urologist may recommend additional tests, such as:
    - Intravenous Pyelography (IVP) to evaluate the urinary tract.
    - Retrograde Pyelography to examine the upper urinary tract.
    - MRI or CT urography for further imaging.
3. *Addressing testicular pain*: Your urologist will investigate the cause of the persistent testicular pain, which may be related to:
    - Epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis).
    - Orchitis (inflammation of the testicles).
    - Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum).
4. *Monitoring and follow-up*: Regular follow-up appointments with your urologist will help monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
