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?

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
- Visit a doctor or a nurse: Go back to the same healthcare provider or visit a nearby clinic to get the wound dressed.
- Clean and dress the wound: The healthcare professional will clean the wound, apply an antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a bandage or dressing.
- Monitor for infection: Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus.
- 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.

I recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?

I'm a bit worried about taking wysolone 20 mg for six days. Will it mess with my immunity or the normal functioning of my body? Could this dose make me more susceptible to infections? If so, how long would it take for my immune system to bounce back, and is there anything I can do to help it recover? I don't have any previous underlying health issues.
