Question 1

I've been dealing with this gout issue for the past four days, and I'm not sure which doctor I should see about it. I've already taken 8 pills of goutnil, but I'm still having trouble. Can you recommend what type of doctor I should visit or anything else I might try?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can still get the wound dressed. In fact, it's recommended to dress the wound to promote healing, prevent infection, and reduce scarring.

*Next Steps*

1. *Visit a doctor or a nurse*: Go back to the same healthcare provider or visit a nearby clinic to get the wound dressed.
2. *Clean and dress the wound*: The healthcare professional will clean the wound, apply an antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a bandage or dressing.
3. *Monitor for infection*: Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus.
4. *Follow-up*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the wound is healing properly.

Remember to keep the wound clean and dry to promote healing. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

Question 2

My mom has been dealing with arthritis for 10 years her left leg posture has changed, and now her right leg hurts too. It got worse when her finger joints started acting up. Homeopathy didn't help, and allopathic painkillers caused digestion issues and loss of appetite. An orthopedic surgeon suggested knee surgery, but Ayurveda fixed her fingers, though her knees stay swollen and painful. I'm not sure if nonsurgical options even work for this kind of arthritis. With Covid around, hospital visits are tough, especially since we're far from cities. I'm looking into video consultations but don't know which specialist would be best could exercise, diet, meds, or injections help, or is surgery the only option?

Question 3

After breast abscess surgery, I noticed a reddish lump under the skin of my right leg below the knee, followed by swelling and ankle pain. The doctor diagnosed it as erythema nodosum and prescribed Predmet 8 twice daily for 3 days, which helped at first swelling and pain went away. But then it came back, so the doctor reduced the dose to Predmet 4 twice daily for 2 days. Now the swelling and pain are worse again. What could be going on and what should I do next?

Accepted Answer

Erythema nodosum, diagnosed after breast abscess surgery, presents as painful, reddish or purple bumps under the skin, often on the shins, but can appear elsewhere, including the legs. The condition is usually a reaction to an infection or medication and can cause swelling and ankle pain, as experienced. While often resolving on its own within weeks, it's crucial to address any underlying conditions causing the erythema nodosum, as it can be a sign of other health issues.
