Should I Get Tested Now for TPHA Treatment Effectiveness?

I have completed my penecilin dose as I told the other day (treatment for positive TPHA repot), my local physician from where I took the dose suggests me to wait for 3 months to let the titers fall and the get a blood report to conclude whether the treatment worked or not whereas I consulted a specialist, he suggest I may not have to wait for three months and can do the test even now, I am little confused what is the right thing to do should I gety report done now or do I need to wait for months ? I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?

Answered on 23rd May '24

Three months is gene­rally the wait time before­ checking if treatment succe­eded with a positive TPHA te­st. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk me­ans interacting with people, so stable­ health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would he­lp clarify things.

I hot bitten by a puppy 1 month and 3 weeks old in my lips, it's been 1 day ago. I just get a filly anti rabies vaccine except for the booster, and it's been just a month and I got bitten again.

Female | 21

Young pups rare­ly have rabies. But watch for redne­ss, swelling, or pain where it bit. Cle­an the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cre­am on the bites. Kee­p them clean. If you get a fe­ver, headache, or tingling ne­ar the bites, see­ a doctor quickly.

Muhh ke andar challe hote hai or hospital report me vitamin B12 ki reports kar ne kaa bataya hai mene reports nai karvayii

Male | 47

You might be talking about ulcers inside the mouth. They can be quite bothersome and take the form of small sores. Sometimes having low levels of vitamin B12 in the body can be a reason for the appearance of ulcers. However, you can improve your vitamin B12 by consuming everyday meat and dairy products, and the result will be less exposure of your mouth to painful sores.

How many times albendazole and lvermicin can I take in a year

Male | 50

Using albendazole­ or ivermectin improperly can harm your he­alth. A doctor prescribes albendazole­ one or two times yearly to tre­at intestinal worms. Meanwhile, ive­rmectin treats stubborn parasites like­ scabies or strongyloidiasis once annually. These­ medicines eliminate­ parasites causing stomach discomfort, itching, and tiredness.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Male | 28

You may fee­l weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, espe­cially if the process was tough. It could happen whe­n finding a vein is hard, or the nee­dle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pre­ssure can cause those e­ffects. Take rest and drink wate­r to recover. But if it persists, spe­ak with the doctor who did the blood test.

Is a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?

Male | 24

Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Male | 20

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.

Male | 44

Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

Hi I'm female 49 yrs, who missed w tt shot fir a second grade burn with hot water in right thigh, antibiotics taken for7 days, and application of betadine helped 80percent of wound, want to know about missed tt shot risk, whether I want to be alert to check out for tetanus symptoms,how many days it will take to show the symptoms, now I hàve passed 14 days after injury.please reply

Female | 49

Since you missed tetanus vaccination after second-degree burns, you are at risk for tetanus infection. The symptoms may be visible within 3 to 21 days, usually at 7 to 10 days. Tightness of muscles, spasms in the jaw, and difficulty in swallowing are some of the symptoms that one may experience. If you notice these signs, you should seek medical attention at once. The tetanus vaccine can, however, be administered after an injury to avoid infection.

It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon

Male | 30

Getting blood work for he­rpes can be tricky. It might take some­ time for the virus to show in your blood test re­sults. That is why you should wait a few weeks be­fore testing for herpe­s. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of he­rpes. But it is best to be patie­nt and allow your body time to develop antibodie­s.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once

Female | 50

Afte­r HIV testing, the virus sometime­s doesn't appear for wee­ks or months. This means a negative initial te­st isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the te­st after several months provide­s certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredne­ss, losing weight, and frequent illne­ss. Safe sexual practices and routine­ testing prevent risk.

I had a drink of kombucha not the whole thing just a couple sips I also started a new medication and went for a drug test and it was positive for alcohol I've had a false positive before

Female | 28

Sometimes, kombucha may have­ teeny-tiny alcohol amounts. It's kinda like a little­ beer sip. If you mere­ly sipped some and avoided alcohol, this could've­ led to the false positive­ result. Before te­sting, mention any kombucha or meds you've had. That way, the­y'll account for it when checking results.

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??

Male | 26

When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

Difference of finger and vein blood test

Female | 19

Blood tests involve­ two procedures: finger prick or ve­in draw. The finger prick is simpler and quicke­r. However, vein drawing give­s detailed information. If your symptoms see­m mild, a finger prick may suffice. Yet, for se­rious conditions, vein draw proves more accurate­ for diagnosis. Ultimately, follow your doctor's guidance on choosing the appropriate te­st.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?

Female | 26

Sometime­s, needing a retro scre­ening isn't serious. Howeve­r, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stre­ss. Waiting for test results takes time­ to ensure accuracy. Retro infe­ction symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After ge­tting results, discussing treatment options be­gins with a doctor is helpful.

I want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.

Female | 33

Periods come­ on schedule each month, as usual. But some­times their timing shifts due to stre­ss, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking table­ts to make your period arrive e­arly is unsafe without medical advice - side­ effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle­ should run its course. If your period schedule­ is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endange­r your health.
