I'm 52 and my ASO titer is 459. Could this affect my heart or kidneys? What precautions should I take?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An elevated ASO (anti-streptolysin O) titer can indicate a recent streptococcal infection. This infection can potentially lead to complications such as rheumatic fever, which can affect the heart and kidneys. To prevent complications, it is important to treat the underlying streptococcal infection with antibiotics. In this case, you can take a course of antibiotics such as Penicillin V at a dosage of 500mg four times a day for 10 days. Additionally, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and further management. It is also advisable to rest, stay hydrated, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support your recovery

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?
It sounds like your mother is going through a tough time with joint pain. Ayurvedic treatments like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and joint oils may help manage pain and inflammation, but it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Physiotherapy can also be beneficial in improving joint mobility and reducing pain, so it could be worth exploring alongside other treatments.

I've been having severe back pain for a while now lower back, middle, even up to my shoulders. It's been two years since my uterus was removed due to stage 1 cervical cancer, and my follow-up ultrasounds every three months show everything's normal, including my ovaries. The X-rays are clear too, but the pain won't go away. It's really affecting my daily life and mental peace. What could be causing this constant back pain even though all my reports are fine? Any suggestions on how to manage it?
MRI is advised,post share the report.

I've noticed something unusual these last couple of months. Whenever I have a drink, even just a little, I end up with pain in both my legs. It's weird because this starts about 23 hours after I drink, usually kicking in right when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it even lasts into the next day. Is this something you've heard of before, or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?
