Question 1

My mom had an accident day before yesterday and broke her shoulder joint. Her creatinine is 1.5 and hemoglobin is 6.8, plus she has triple vessel disease that's borderline. She's already on medications is it safe to go ahead with shoulder surgery given her kidney function and heart condition?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder surgery in a patient with kidney issues and heart disease needs careful evaluation. Consult with both an orthopedic surgeon and a cardiologist to assess the risks before proceeding.

Question 2

I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Residual symptoms after typhoid fever.

Bitter taste and weakness could be due to:

1. Residual infection
2. Medication side effects
3. Hormonal changes
4. Nutritional deficiencies
5. Liver or kidney function changes

To alleviate bitter taste:

1. Stay hydrated
2. Eat small, frequent meals
3. Avoid strong-smelling foods
4. Try sugar-free gum or lozenges
5. Consider zinc supplements (consult doctor)

Consult your doctor for:

1. Follow-up evaluation
2. Addressing weakness and bitter taste
3. Adjusting medications or diet

Recovery from typhoid fever can take time. Be patient and follow your doctor's guidance.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this back pain just below the waistline for the past three days. It started after I fell down three steps on the stairs. I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?
