first and most important of all don't lick your lips, use lip balm or petroleum jelly (to moisten your lips especially the corner) as often as needed maybe 5 or more times a day.

 

Wait for the crack to heal completely and minimize opening your mouth (if you can) you can use povidone iodine mouthwash to paint the crack (5 x a day)

 

if after a week you don't see any improvement please see your ENT-HNS doctor for consult.

 

and make sure you don't have any vitamin deficiencies.

ask ko lang po, for the past few weeks, lagi po 6 hours lang ang tulog ko po at nagigising na po ako. tapos nahihirapan na matulog unless i listen to music for 10-15 minutes then tsaka ako aantukin. nagigising po ako dahil po naiihi po ako. weired nga po kasipag natulog po ng 10pm automatic nagigising po ako ng 4am, pero pag 12.30am mga 6.30 to 7 gising na po ako. at hindi po ako natutulog o nag nap tuwing tanghali o hapon po. normal po ba ito? ano po ba ang best way na makatulog ng 8 hour straight na walang gising.?

@BigJ

Ok lang yun basta hindi ka inaantok habang umaga at hapon. Our body normally needs 6 - 8 hours of rest. As long as you feel rejuvenated when you wake up then its fine.

There are actually sleep specialists, a sub specialization of pulmonary medicine, that you can approach if you feel like you have trouble with your sleep. You can find one at UST hospital.

Nagagamot ba yung may borderline personality disorder? what treatment's best for this caSE?

[spikelao]

To all the doctors of MTC,

 

I'm experiencing a discomfort at the lower right side of my body. Malapit sa likuran. Hindi naman sya masakit na masakit pero paminsan minsan ay kumikirot. Kasabay nito ay laging parang nangangalay ang aking right legs and thighs. SYmptoms kaya ng ano ito?

 

Thanks

 

[rcko21]

@juniperxxx

Yes it can be treated. Unfortunately, I don't know much about psychiatric management.

@spikelao

First thing that came to my mind was sciatica. These is usually caused by "naipit" na nerve sa lower spine mo causing the lower back pain that goes to your thigh and leg. This can be caused by poor posture, weight problems, aging, and trauma. This is just an educated guess. Go see a orthopedic speciallist to have yourself examined to rule out other possible causes of your back pain. Take a pain reliever today and go see a doctor tom.

hi good afternoon! I am not sure if its the right thread to post my queries..but anyway, here goes my queries. two to be exact.

 

1. Is it safe to have unprotected sex during period and after period? how many days after the period is still safe to have unprotected sex?

2. What birth control pill is safe and okay to take for a 21 year old girl? preferably over the counter lang na meds. and how to take it ? after taking the 1st tablet, is it already safe to have unprotected sex?

 

thank you in advance.

yes, it is treatable, but you need to see a good psychiatrist as the treatments have to be tailored to the individual. not all treatments will work on everybody......

i agree with sir rcko21, this does sound like sciatica, and like he explained may naipit na ugat is the best way to put it. your muscles are sore and they had pinched your nerve, ergo, pain and numbness. take Advil or tramadol and see a doctor. by the way, you have to steel yourself to the fact that treatment may be as long as 3-4 weeks........

[rcko21]

@ mr. john

its ok to have sex even if the girl has her period. You can use the calendar method to determine during what days the girl is fertile. These are the days you avoid having sex so that the girl doesnt get pregnant

 

Basically you find out how long are her longest and shortest cycle. Deduct 19 from the shortest cycle and 10 from the longest cycle. The range that you get are the fertile days. For example, a girl has her longest cycle which is 30 days and shortest cycle of 28 days. So 28 - 19 = 9 and 30 - 10 = 20. You count from day 1 which is the start of her period then you avoid having sex on days 9 - 20 if you dont want to get her pregnant. You can have unprotected sex from day 1- 8 and day 21 onwards. Restart the count when she has her period again.

 

It sounds a bit confusing at first so search calendar method on google so that you'd understand better

 

All birth control pills are fine as long as she's a healthy 21 y/o girl without any allergies to these drugs or any illnesses that could contraindicate her from taking this pills. Most pills can be bought over the counter without a prescription. I, however, do not encourage her to take this birth control pills without proper advise and instructions from an obstetrician. Missing a dose will remove the effectiveness and overdosing can be harmful as well.

 

How I wish this information is readily available to everyone so that we can avoid accident pregnancies.

hello and Animo, mr. john. to answer your questions, yes it is safe to have sex during, 5 days before, and 5 days after her period...the book says 7 days, but you have to remember that sperm lasts for 2 days, so 5 days to be safe......

 

hmmm, birth control pills....best you see an OB for this. and no, after the 1st tablet, she is still NOT safe, wait a week, just to be sure......

Mga Fellow Doc's,

 

Tanung ko lang po sana.. urologist po ba nagtetest din ng sperm count? Pinsan ko po kasi married for 5 yrs. and la pa sila anak..gusto na magpatingin ng pinsan ko regarding his sperm count. sabi ko urologist..pero not sure kung tama..though, diko din alam kung san yung mga lugar na nagcconduct ng ganung test.. balak ko na din sumama para masigurado ko na din na lalaki akong tunay..hahaha!!!! prefer sana namin babaeng doctor..kakahiya kasi pag lalaki...

 

need your recommendations niyo po and san sila makokontak...tnx!!!!

Sperm count can be done in most laboratories, a fertility expert would help, some are OB GYNE; just to go to any hospital and ask at the information section for doctors expert in fertility. Good Luck!

Docs, pwede po bang ma detect sa lab exam(blood,urine sample) kung na infect ako ng rabies?

if not, sang ospital(metro manila) po ba na medyo mura ang magpavaccine? worried lang kasi ko dahil habang pinoforce feed ko sya, sa pagsara ng bibig nya nadale ang daliri ko(not too deep pero may maliit(ga tuldok) na sugat)(hindi kasi updated ng anti rabies vaccine ang dog) kagabi lang, ngayon, masama pakiramdam ko. many thanks.

 

 

Don't wait, have yourself vaccinated, pinaka mura sa RITM sa alabang. Once rabies spread to your brain, thats it, RIP, no cure. Vaccinate early. plus you can get tetanus from bites

thanks din sir MiggyE

[heinz887]

Sir pag 10 days delayed yung girl pos negative ung pt results for 3 days na. anu po pwde gawin?

[miggyE]

Congratulations, she's pregnant...go consult an OB-Gyn

[rcko21]

@heinz887

We always diagnose a patient to be pregnant if she is delayed until proven otherwise. She would have to undergo an ultrasound.

[heinz887]

Until now no menstration. Negative pt. 13 days napo.

[rcko21]

@heinz

go to an obgyne. PT is not the end-all-be-all test to diagnose pregnancy.

[heinz887]

Thanks sir. Antay ko a week cgro before dalhin ko sya obgyne. Tnx

[male_spud]

Thanks sir. Antay ko a week cgro before dalhin ko sya obgyne. Tnx

 

you can have false negatives up to 3 weeks using urine HCG tests (over the counter preg tests) you may want to try serum HCG (blood testing) or you can just do a transvaginal ultrasound to see if there has been implantation already. I agree with the other MDs, if you need to be sure, consult an OB-GYN.
