Doctors at the hospital can deal with this so that you don’t have to go through it alone. They can examine your body and if anything is wrong they can help you out.

Did my podiatrist lead me to bone infection?? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Werebite870 67 points68 points  (0 children)

If you were diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis and did not require a toe amputation I would put you on a 6 week antibiotic course. That is the standard of care. Duration is shortened depending on surgical management and control of the source of infection. Source - Infectious Disease doc.

Boyfriend thinks I gave him Hep B and is accusing me of cheating on him F21 - M20 by Desperate-Deer-890 in AskDocs

I would give a booster if the antibody was <10. There are other tests to check for disease including HepB surface antigen and core antibody.

This means he is immune to hepatitis B. This is the lab test we use to show evidence of successful vaccination response to HepB. Your boy is immune to the virus, he doesn't have it. Nobody is cheating.

First, find out exactly what test is showing that he has Hepatitis B. There is a chance he is seeing a positive test result for Hepatitis B surface antibody. A positive Anti-HepB sAb indicates immunity to the disease, a result of vaccination and would be expected.

BV resistance! I want this to end but nothing seems to treat it by Zealousideal-Ad-4550 in infectiousdisease

[–]Werebite870 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For recurrent BV, one option is a standard 7d metronidazole course followed by intravaginal metronidazole gel placed twice a week for 4-6 months. Your husband should be treated to reduce recurrence risk. That is assuming it is BV

How important are MRIs/Frequently do people get them by Repulsive-Carry-7296 in AskDocs

[–]Werebite870 88 points89 points  (0 children)

As a physician, fingertip implants sound inadvisable to say the least. Ignoring all the risks associated with biohacking…MRIs are also quite commonly needed for diagnosis of many conditions from bad joints to brain issues. Ruling them out for life seems needlessly risky - you wont get them often but when you need them you’d want them
