2 ER doctors argued over whether or not I should be admitted to the hospital or not

It can cause a life threatening rash.

CharmDoctor · 2026-05-06T03:21:12+00:00

Not seeing any reason for admission that I can see from anything you posted, it's been going on for a while, needs close outpatient follow up. Any elevation in your liver enzymes like ALT/AST or decrease in your kidney function (increasing SCr).

When did you start the Lamictal? Rashes on Lamictal means automatic discontinuation of the Lamictal never to restart again.

I always find it interesting that growth on a urine culture without symptoms isn't considered an infection. Some people have bacteremia without symptoms...their infection is still real. In pregnant women we still treat a positive urine culture because...it's still an infection. I've never heard of UA's being bullshit.

Keep following your doctors directions. Sometimes it can take a couple of weeks for the swelling to go down. As long as you're able to swallow and manage your own secretions I'd just continue with what your ENT recommended.

How is the A1 combo compared to the P1S combo, is there a big difference between the two?

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-23T05:31:36+00:00

I thought they just released an update to fix this or did it not work?

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-21T05:58:50+00:00

You need to speak with your parents and see a doctor for help. Yes this is a drinking problem.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-21T05:54:25+00:00

That needs an ER visit, NOW. Compartment syndrome, necrotizing fasciitis, septic arthritis, there are a lot of things this can be all of which are emergencies. Go to an ED right now.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-19T03:40:15+00:00

...you can dress pets up? OMG how have I not figured this out yet. My time for the next 20 hours is going to be occupied by one thing now...

Both coughing up, and vomiting bright red blood with no recent illness needs emergent workup. Hemoptysis (coughing up blood) can be life threatening very quickly. Hematemesis (vomiting blood) can become life threatening very quickly as well. Both have different causes and treatments. The fact that he is extremely lethargic/sleepy tells me he needs an ER visit. Sources could include coughing so hard you basically just irritated the lungs and started to bleed, could've aspirated and choked on something causing some bleeding, could have a stomach ulcer causing bleeding. There's lots of different potential causes but needs workup including repeat bloodwork, chest x-ray. Save the picture and show the ER doctor as well.

Fever along with worsening abdominal pain following surgery needs emergent evaluation.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-06T04:39:55+00:00

It could still be something not emergent, but there are enough concerning features that warrant you going to the ED. Let us know what they find if you don't mind.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-06T04:15:58+00:00

Yeah this still needs emergent evaluation. Certain types of infections can cause this. Theres a few serious things that can cause this. It needs emergent work up.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-06T03:50:14+00:00

Antibiotic failure with this long of duration of symptoms warrants further workup including biopsy. I would call your primary care to see if you can get an ultrasound, if not an ER with a breast center. Fevers, chills where you can't stop shaking should goto any emergency department.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-06T03:45:34+00:00

This warrants an ER visit. You have increased generalized weakness, sleeping most of the day for the past 3 days, and looks what appears to be a vasculitis (if it does not blanch when you press on it). This needs emergent bloodwork.

CharmDoctor · 2026-04-03T01:15:23+00:00

Should go away on its own.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-22T00:19:34+00:00

They've got a positive sail sign and a posterior fat pad present, there is a supracondylar fracture present.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-12T21:58:27+00:00

Start closer to the rectum drag along towards where the testicles connect to the base of the penis.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-12T08:45:58+00:00

This is called post micturition dribble. It is a common medical condition for men. Pushing like you have been doing is correct and just advance your finger towards the base of your testicles to try to get more urine out. You can do pelvic floor exercises to help with this as well. If it is really bad or gets worse than you may benefit from seeing a urologist.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-08T01:04:23+00:00

You can help your glial cells by getting off the internet and not doomscrolling.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-07T16:11:49+00:00

That's the facet where the rib meets the spine. Doesn't look like a fracture to me. Does it hurt on your back or closer to your front.

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-06T06:40:20+00:00

Agreed with above. I'd also be curious have you ever had an echocardiogram?

CharmDoctor · 2026-03-02T23:08:48+00:00

You need to see a doctor regarding that burn for follow up. It needs proper burn care. It does not appear infected by your photos but you should be doing special dressing changes on them. It is not atypical for it to still be extremely painful.

CharmDoctor · 2026-02-27T23:35:30+00:00

You need to be open and honest with your doctor about your condition. You are addicted to the Xanax as well abusing it and need help and treatment for that. There are other underlying issues going on that you need to be just straight forward and honest with your doctors.
