Question 1

I've ended up taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in just 35 minutes because my hip is really sore and I'm having a hard time walking. Now the pain is spreading to my rib, both at the front and back, and it feels like a sharp, jabbing pain. Should I be worried about taking so many tablets in that short time, or is this kind of pain normal?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis can be treated with either topical steroids or surgery.

Topical steroids (e.g., betamethasone) can help stretch the foreskin, but may require repeated applications.

Surgery (circumcision or preputioplasty) provides a more permanent solution.

Consult a urologist or a pediatric surgeon in Bangalore to determine the best approach for your case.

Some recommended hospitals in Bangalore include:

Apollo Hospitals
Fortis Hospitals
Manipal Hospitals

Question 2

I'm really worried because my wife just swallowed a Karvol Plus capsule with water instead of inhaling the steam through her nose. Now she's experiencing a cooling sensation in her stomach, but luckily, there aren't any other symptoms at the moment. Could there be any side effects from this? What should we do next? Can you please advise?

Accepted Answer

Accidentally taking Karvol Plus capsules orally instead of inhaling the vapor through steam may cause stomach upset or discomfort due to the camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus oil ingredients; however, since your wife is only experiencing coolness in the stomach without other severe symptoms, monitor her condition closely and encourage her to drink plenty of water to help flush out the system;

Question 3

I'm really worried because my mom just took 1014 pills of anxit 0.5 mg, and I got her to vomit about 45 minutes after she swallowed them. I'm keeping an eye on her vitals and her pulse is roughly 90 bpm. I'm not sure if I should rush her to the hospital or wait it out a bit longer. What do you think I should do?

Accepted Answer

Given the situation, it's crucial to prioritize your mother's safety, and I strongly advise taking her to the hospital immediately. Although you made her vomit within 4-5 minutes, which is a good initial step, the ingested amount (10-14 pills of 0.5 mg Anxit) can still cause serious harm, including overdose symptoms like drowsiness, confusion, and slowed breathing.

So, my pet dog just bit me on my right foot near the ankle back on May 11, 2019. Do you think I need an anti-rabies shot for this? And if so, any idea how much that might cost? Just mentioning that we got our dog vaccinated around 7 years ago.

Yes you have to take complete course of vaccination which would be 4 doses when given intradermal route,visit your physician for appropriate approach.
