Question 1

Hey, I'm really worried about my mom. Shes been dealing with vertigo, and our family doctor says its related to her middle ear. For the past two days, shes been stuck in bed. Every little move makes her so dizzy, and she even vomits when trying to get up. On top of that, staying in bed has caused her shoulder and back to hurt terribly. What can we do to help her feel better and get rid of this quickly? This is all so sudden and she's never had these issues before. She's on vertistar md8 as prescribed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

For vertigo symptoms related to the middle ear, it is important to continue taking Vertistar MD-8 as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, I recommend keeping her well-hydrated and ensuring she gets plenty of rest. To alleviate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, she can also take 'Stugeron' which helps in relieving vertigo symptoms. For the shoulder and back pain, she can take 'Flexon' to help with the discomfort. It is advisable for her to avoid sudden head movements and to slowly change positions to prevent triggering vertigo episodes. If her symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with your family doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been dealing with sinusitis for a while now, and it's making my head feel heavy all the time. The snoring is getting worse too, and it's really bothering people around me. Is there a way to permanently fix the snoring and headaches without surgery?

Accepted Answer

CPAP-continuous positive airway presssure is advised.

Question 3

I heard the nose and ears keep growing throughout life. During my rhinoplasty, the surgeon cut and repositioned the bottom of my nose now the tip bends downward and sticks out more than before. Will it grow back to normal over time, or will it keep drooping further forward? It's been bothering me so much that I've even started washing my nose constantly, like I do with my hands and lips after eating. Another doctor helped restore my breathing and smell any insight on this?

Accepted Answer

The myth that the nose continues to grow throughout life is false. While the nose can change shape and size due to aging and gravity, these changes are not related to growth. The drooping nose tip after rhinoplasty is more likely due to swelling, cartilage remodeling, or surgical complications, rather than continued growth. If you are experiencing significant discomfort or changes in the nose shape, it's crucial to discuss these with your surgeon or a specialist.

So, I've been dealing with this annoying strep throat, and I've been on antibiotics for over 24 hours now. I'm really curious, is it safe for me to kiss my boyfriend at this point, or should I wait a bit longer? Just trying to be cautious.

still it can transmit the infection so try to wait till the cource compleletion
