I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

Focal gliosis in the right posterior periventricular region indicates:

  • Gliosis: Scarring or reactive change in brain tissue
  • Periventricular region: Area surrounding the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces) in the brain

Possible causes:

  1. Past injury or infection
  2. Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
  3. Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
  4. Tumors or cysts

Treatment and seriousness depend on underlying cause:

  1. If caused by past injury or infection, treatment might focus on managing symptoms.
  2. If related to demyelinating disease or tumor, treatment may involve disease-modifying therapies or surgery.

Recommendation:

Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for:

  1. Detailed evaluation
  2. Determining underlying cause
  3. Developing a personalized treatment plan

Had a circumcision surgery last Saturday on 14 April but since yesterday I noticed some pus in the wound and it hurts when I try to clean it. Started taking ceftum 500 twice a day but not sure if washing with warm water will help or make the pus worse

It's important to seek medical advice immediately if you're experiencing pus and pain in a circumcision wound. While you're taking Ceftum, it's recommended to gently clean the area with warm water to help manage the infection, but you should not scrub or use harsh soaps. Warm water can help remove debris and promote drainage, but it's crucial to follow the guidance of your doctor, who may have specific instructions for wound care after circumcision.
