Question 1

I've been having some issues with high eosinophil levels - they were over 10 last week, and two months ago they were at 21. After taking a 10-day course of hetrazan, my weakness has gotten a bit better, but now I'm dealing with some diarrhea symptoms and still feel a bit weak. The eosinophil levels did drop to 5 in the last three days. Do you think I'll start feeling more refreshed after finishing the hetrazan treatment, and does this mean I'm recovering from a possible parasite infection since the eosinophil count has gone down?

Accepted Answer

With a significant reduction in eosinophils from 21% to 5% after the Hetrazan course, it's likely that the treatment was effective in addressing the underlying parasitic infection; as your body recovers, you may start feeling fresher and more energetic, but it's essential to monitor your symptoms, including diarrhea, and follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure complete recovery and to rule out any other underlying conditions

Question 2

I've had this bubbling sensation under my left front rib cage whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for a few days now. It also hurts when I do any kind of physical activity. I'm just wondering if this is something I should be serious...

Accepted Answer

The "bubbling" sensation under your left front rib cage, accompanied by pain during physical activity, could be related to various conditions, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting ribs to the breastbone), pleurisy (inflammation of the lining surrounding the lungs), or even a rib injury, and it's recommended to consult a orthopaedician

I'm really worried because I accidentally drank a spoonful of Dettol liquid and now my mouth is on fire. What should I do to treat the burning sensation?

Accepted Answer

Immediately rinse your mouth with plenty of water to dilute the Dettol liquid; then, mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 12 cup of water to create a soothing mouthwash; gargle several times and spit it out; apply a topical pain reliever, like Orajel or Anbesol, to the affected area with a cotton swab
