male_spud Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 i'd just like to throw my voice against self-medication. dapat consult your doctor first bago try anything; hindi pagka 'if symptoms persist.' yes. i agree. and also consult before stopping any medication you are on Quote Link to comment

Bitoy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Need advise. For the past few years, I have noticed that episodes of cold and cough will often last for weeks sometimes more than a month. Sometimes, my relatives from the same house will show the same symptoms but they will recover only in days and mine lasts a lot longer. I have had mild asthma since childhood but I am not sure if this is related. I am also overweight. Could there be something wrong with my immune system? Any advise? TIA! Quote Link to comment

TIA! episodic cough and colds related to weather changes, dust, etc on the background of childhood asthma may be symptoms of allergic rhinitis. there are also some cough-variant type of asthmas which may present in adulthood. how overweight are you by the way? do you snore a lot?

I am 5'9" but weights around 215lbs. I read somewhere that the ideal weight for my height is around 170lbs? I have not really received much feedback but some people have told me that I snore and loudly at times. Quote Link to comment

I agree with male_spud that it is a form of allergic rhinitis and maybe sinusitis. consult your favorite ENT for a complete check-up and possible x-ray of the sinuses. Antihistamine is the drug of choice but steroids are given for severe cases. Quote Link to comment

Antihistamine is the drug of choice but steroids are given for severe cases.Thanks. But isn't allergic rhinitis or sinusitis supposed to be more consistent? What I mean is that I also have long periods (months) wherein I don't get these cold or cough. The only thing is that if I do get them, it lasts unusualy long for me (2wks to more than a month). I would say I only get this sick about once every 3 months on an average. Quote Link to comment

I have not really received much feedback but some people have told me that I snore and loudly at times. yeah 170 lbs is your ideal weight... you'd be okay if you could trim it down to around 190, obesity and obstructive sleep apnea all contribute to a weaker immune system.

DenonE Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Need advise lang po. Nagpunta yun wife last weekned sa Subic then nakaapak siya ng pako na medyo mahaba at makalawang. They gave her a first aid like make it bleed and cleaned with alcohol and betadine. It was the hotels fault kasi madami nakakalat na mga pako sa paligid ng resort nila. What are the next steps to be taken? As of now, pinainoom daw siya ng amoxicillin 500mg at medjo namamanhid daw yun paa nya. Thanks... Quote Link to comment

Thanks... nakakatakot naman yung pako na yan... sir if i may say... if your wife has not been updated on her tetanus vaccines you should immediately bring her to a physician for updates..even if she is updated she may need further evaluation like if shell be needing a booster or toxoid and also special attention on the wound as for debridement if needed because some debris may be left. the antibiotic given to her may not be enough since some microbes tend to be resistant due to its capability to neutralize this kind of antibio..co-amoxiclav will be better than amox alone.. your physician will give you prescription for this. hth Quote Link to comment
