Why is my chronic upper spine pain worsening?

This type of pain can be caused by different things for instance wrong posture, muscle strain, or even stress. It is essential to be very gentle in exercises that are meant to back muscles and consequently, your posture will also be improved. Heat or ice packs can be used to soothe the pain. If the pain persists or gets worse consult an orthopedist for further evaluation

Why Do I Have Lumps and Pain?

When something strange like a bump on the penis and a pain in the left testicle happens to your body, only then you can notice that a new symptom appears. New symptoms such as infection, an injury, or a lump that is actually a growth could be a few of the indicators that you need to pay attention to. Sooner you should consult a urologist so they can suggest the correct diagnosis for your condition.

Can I Get Admission with Past MMR Immunity Proof?

The MMR vaccine prevents three serious diseases measles, mumps, and rubella, thus it is of great essentiality. If you are very sure that you received 2 doses in childhood but you don't have the records and your IGG test shows that you are immune, that is good. You must get a certificate for your admission to the MS program. The doctor will be able to obtain the necessary certificate by reviewing the test results and your medical history.

What Are the Best Medicines for Microfilaria at 52?

Microfilaria are the tiny worms that transmit malaria by mosquito bites. Often, the signs of sickness are fever, skin itching, and fatigue. Skin itching, fever, and fatigue are some of the most common signs of the disease. The primary medicine used for the treatment of microfilaria is the drug diethylcarbamazine (DEC) or ivermectin. These drugs aid the body's worm destruction. However, I strongly advise you to consult a hematologist about the exact dosage and duration of treatment.

Does a Minor Dog Cut Require Vaccination?

If the cut is a shallow one and has not bled, you should not take any risk and not get vaccinated. It is a good idea to keep the wound free from all dirt and also be careful for any indication of infection – redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, you had better go to a doctor or a veterinarian if the job was done by you.

My father was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer 5 years back and treated with surgery and chemo in Chennai. He was cancer free. But he was recently diagnosed with gastric cancer at an early stage. Doctor asked it is curable but we are anxious cause he is 69 and we really don't know whether he can take this trauma. Please suggest a good hospital in Chennai that is good for Gastric cancer

In very early cancers I.e stage 1 mucosal - just an excision from inside the stomach is needed. It can be done endoscopically without any sutures or scars. However if it is slightly advanced, then the surgery will be a bit complex as he already has undergone surgery for the esophagus. However if the disease is limited, he should definitely undergo treatment for the stomach cancer .
