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.

View allI'm a 20-year-old girl and I'm really worried because my ESR in blood is 93, and my hb is 10.50. I also found out I have a deficiency in vitamin D. What could be causing my high ESR?
The high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in your blood could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. Given your low hemoglobin level and vitamin D deficiency, it is important to address these issues as well. To help reduce inflammation and lower your ESR, you can take Ibuprofen for a few days. Additionally, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your conditions.

Can you tell me if taking febuxostat 40 would be okay instead of febutaz 40? Ive been taking febutaz 40mg for about 13 days now, but I ran out and the pharmacy near me only had febuxostat 40. They said its the same thing, but I just want to make sure its safe before switching. Is there any difference between the two?
Those are exactly the same medicines , just with different brand names

My mother has had pain in her fingers and wrist for around 23 years. Our GP prescribed her DV60K and calcium, and an X-ray showed some bone erosion in her fingers and hand. She also has pain in one shoulder when lifting her arm. Blood tests didn't show any bone infection, and homeopathy didn't help much. Right now, she's taking Newbona 10 tabs a month and Nucoxia for pain. Surgery isn't an option since the pain is in multiple places, including her legs. She can still manage light hand work what other treatments could we explore?
Apollo Hospital is best for it.
