Why Can't I Walk or Raise My Hand After Giving Birth?

The symptoms you have explained, such as the inability to walk and numbness of the hand following delivery, are indicative of obstetric brachial plexopathy. This is a condition that occurs when the nerves around your shoulder are injured during the birthing process. Physical therapy can enhance your muscle power and flexibility. Physical therapists can give the right evaluation and the measures that work for them. I recommend consulting a physical therapist for further advice.

What's the Best Medicine for High BP Readings?

The numbers indicate high blood pressure (BP). These numbers show how hard the blood pushes against the walls of the blood vessels. Whenever it is not controlled, high BP can damage the heart and the blood vessels. Sometimes it can cause heart disease or strokes too. Amlodipine is one of the common drugs used in treating high BP. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to pump too hard when pushing the blood through them. Take this medicine exactly as prescribed and go for regular checkups with your doctor so that he may be able to keep track of your BP readings.

Can i smoke when i have typhoid? I am stable now and not getting any fever. I am going through injection course and it ends today.

It's better if you refrain from smoking immediately after recovering.. Let your body heal as smoking can weaken your immune system more.

Do I need two antibiotics for root canal?

It’s common if you’re confused about taking two antibiotics before a root canal. Betmax 509 and Metrogyl ER are antibiotics that fight against infection. To ensure all the infection is gone, your dentist might have prescribed them both. Take both of them as directed which will help you not to get any complications after the process. Follow what your dentist told you and in case of any questions ask him or her.

Is Tiny Lump and Loose Motion Serious?

These signs might be caused by an illness known as an anal fissure, which is influenced by constipation or diarrhea. Spicy or greasy dishes can make it even worse. You can soak in warm water and keep the area clean. Moreover, it will also be beneficial for you to drink lots of water and consume high-fiber foods to avoid getting constipated. In case the condition continues or becomes severe, visit a gastroenterologist.

Am I safe with alcohol with paracetamol?

It's probably not a good idea to drink alcohol after paracetamol. Though nothing terrible will happen if you've only had a few sips, it’s great that you didn’t drink more. Watch out for any nausea, stomachache or dizziness. If you start feeling bad, it’s better to visit a doctor.

Should I Continue Lactobac Plus for Yeast Infection Treatment?

You could have a yeast infection, they can make your vagina itch and burn. You did well starting to use Candid B cream and taking lactobacillus capsules, but I'm afraid things have only gotten worse since your period started. Keep taking the traco exactly as directed along with the lactobacillus capsules. Make sure that you continue keeping the affected area clean and dry while avoiding scented products too. If these measures fail to relieve your symptoms please make an appointment with your doctor for further advice.

Is difficulty breathing while lying down a sign of anxiety?

When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night.  You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

Why do I have recurring vaginal itching and discharge?

Maybe you have a yeast infection. Symptoms such as itching, smelly discharge, and discomfort in the vaginal area are the common ones that affect women. Besides the vaginal region and inside the thighs, fungal infections can also affect the mouth, throat, and skin. The clothes can be attributed to such infections as well. Firstly, there are the unwanted side effects of some medications. Prevention of yeast infections should be made by cotton underwear while avoiding scented items to the extent that OTC antifungal creams should be used.
