crohns disease, at what point during a flare up should i go to the hospital?
you should be in contact with your doctor by phone if you are in pain or bleeding. going to the er should be a joint decision, unless you are experiencing extreme uncontrollable pain or other unusual or concerning symptoms.
hi rowdy-i'm glad you found my answer helpful. the fatigue i had was unreal as well as joint pain. my doctor kept telling me it was related to the crohn's, but i knew it was something else. i had severe symptoms for about 3 months. i went to a dermatologist for a skin rash and he said we shouldn't assume everything was related to the crohn's and did an ana panel. my numbers were outrageously high, and was diagnosed with drug induced lupus. the doctor said i'll have the symptoms for about 3 months before all of the antibodies are out of my body. Sometimes yes. But let your doctor know. Hello Anna, Thank you for asking at HealthReplies.com. Sore throat is one of the symptoms of respiratory infections, can be caused by viruses or bacteria. To suspect COVID-19, a complete physical examination and necessary investigations such as blood, throat swabs, chest x-ray, and CTScan to serology must be carried out. A history of contacting positive patients and living in a local transmission area is of course also important in addition to a history of traveling to an infected area / country. Symptoms of COVID-19 will appear on days 2-14 after exposure to the virus. Apart from being caused by infection, complaints can also occur due to allergic reactions, irritation, for example due to cigarette smoke / vehicle smoke, and can also occur due to an injury to the throat. It is important to consult a doctor to find the exact cause. But with the current situation in the form of the outbreak of Corona virus infection, it helps you stay at home and delay seeing a doctor unless an emergency situation occurs such as breathing difficulties. For now things you can do at home before seeing a doctor include: Stay at home and observe the complaints you feel, if complaints are burdensome or permanent you can call the doctor or the Ministry of health hotline at 119 EXT 9 Avoid traveling outside and to places crowds of people Wash your hands regularly with soap and running water Use a mask if you have symptoms Consumption of healthy and nutritious food intake Fruit and vegetables are propagated Drink plenty of water, avoid cigarettes and alcohol Regular exercise Consumption of pain relievers such as paracetamol and do not consume any drugs without using a prescription doctors like antibiotics Keep praying and get closer to God That's all, hopefully answering. i was officially diagnosed when i was 11/12 but had been experiencing pain and flares since i was quite young about 5/6. doctors initially wrote it off as "growing pains" or symptoms from high/low blood sugars (diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when i was 9) but went for more extensive testing out of town at a children's hospital where it was later discovered i have juvenile onset inflammatory arthritis (later ra) and a condition where the ligament's/muscles on the insides of my knees are very weak (can't think of the name right now.) and you are quite right, this journey we all deal with is a long and tiring one, but remembering to stay positive, do what you can when you can, to rest when you need to, and to have support whether through family/friends or sites like this we can all come out saying we got this! xo Hi Andreas,

Typhus (typhoid fever) can indeed cause a person to have a cough. This cough is generally only part of a prodromal symptom which will be followed by other more characteristic symptoms, namely fever, weakness, nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, headache, dizziness, fatigue, bowel movements, reddish skin rash, and so forth. However, usually the main complaints that cause typhus sufferers to come to health facilities are fever and nausea, vomiting, not coughing.



  

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can also cause complaints of a cough that doesn't go away. This cough occurs due to throat irritation due to reflux of stomach acid (it goes back up. Not only coughing, GERD sufferers will also experience other uncomfortable sensations around the throat and chest, for example propping up, tightness, bloating, stinging, heat, pain, burning, etc. and so forth.



  

Apart from the two conditions above, your complaints may also arise due to other causes that are not necessarily related to one another, including:







Causes of cough: allergies, respiratory infections, aspiration (choking), side effects of drugs  

Causes of white tongue: yeast infection in the mouth, leukoplakia, lichen planus  

Causes of red spots on the waist, stomach and face: allergies, contact dermatitis, insect bites, skin infections, measles, dengue fever, scarlet fever  

Causes of flatulence: gastritis, stomach ulcers, cholangitis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, gastrointestinal infections, side effects of drugs, and so on



If you have already checked your complaint to a doctor and given treatment, but there is no significant improvement with your complaint, you should check your complaint again with a doctor. To determine the right diagnosis, in addition to a physical examination, the doctor may also perform blood tests, X-rays, or endoscopy. Alternatively, your doctor will recommend that you undergo a sputum test to rule out tuberculosis, which often causes the cough to not go away.



  

In the meantime, all you need to do is:







Reduce consumption of oily foods and those that contain lots of artificial sweeteners  

Avoid contact with substances that are prone to trigger allergies, for example cold, dust mites, animal hair  

Use a nose and mouth mask to prevent harmful substances from being inhaled into your respiratory tract  

Maintain endurance by eating foods rich in vitamin C, exercising diligently, and getting enough rest  

Do not smoke  

Be diligent in brushing your teeth and taking a shower regularly



Hope it helps ..

There are many things that are mistaken in Indonesian society. People think that the 'lymph node' is the name or diagnosis of a disease. I straighten up a little yes, lymph nodes not the name or diagnosis of an illness. Lymph nodes are normal glandular structures that are found in humans. All humans have lymph nodes. So the analogy is, just like normal humans have ears, normal humans also have a gland called a lymph node. So, now that you have gotten the information, you can help straighten the misguided to your relatives and friends.



  

Lymph nodes play an important role in the human immune system. When a person experiences an infection or inflammation (inflammation), then the immune cells in the lymph nodes will experience activation, to overcome the infection and inflammation that occurs.



  

Lymph nodes are located in the neck, armpits, abdominal cavity, and groin. Lymph nodes can indeed be enlarged. Dapst enlargement occurs due to an infection process in another organ, or an infection process that attacks the lymph nodes themselves. Some possibilities that can cause enlarged lymph nodes are:







Lymphadenopathy. Generally occurs in people who are or are recovering from infectious diseases such as acute respiratory infections, inflammation of the throat, ear infections, or infections of the teeth and mouth area.  

Lymphadenitis.  

Glandular tuberculosis.  

Cysts or abscesses in lymph nodes.  

Tumors in lymph nodes.



In your case, it is also possible that enlarged lymph nodes are caused by a long cough. Handling will be more appropriate if it is directed at healing the cough that you experience. When the cause can be cured, then the lymph nodes should slowly shrink back to normal size by themselves.



  

If after a few weeks, there is no improvement in your lymph nodes, or even look worse, contact your doctor immediately. Symptoms of worsening can be in the form of a rapid increase in the size of lymph nodes, increased pain, redness, high denam, and uneven palpable glands when held. Doctors need to make sure by examination directly, whether the structure in your neck is indeed enlarged lymph nodes, or there is another abnormality. At this time you do not need to take special action on your lymph nodes. Keep your nutrition in order to remain optimal, multiply eating vegetables, fruits, and protein. Don't massage the lymph glands because they can make the disorder worse.



  

Hope this answer helps yes. Regards Hi raprilliya,

It is true, excessive scraping or rubbing the nose can cause injury to the nasal cavity that causes you to bleed.

Nosebleeds that occur due to these causes are often not dangerous conditions so they do not require special treatment.



However, if you feel that your nosebleeds are repeated very often without a specific trigger, you need to be aware of other possible causes, for example:



Exposure to hot or windy environmental conditions Disorders of the nasal cavity, for example: Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus cavity) Nasal polyps (benign tumors originating from the nasal mucosa) Deviation of the nasal septum (abnormal tilt of the nasal cavity) Cancer of the nasal cavity or throat Head injury or injury nasal side effects of drugs, such as aspirin, heparin Blood clotting disorders, for example due to ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), leukemia (blood cancer), vitamin K deficiency, spinal cord disorders, hemophilia, other blood clotting deficiency Frequently, nosebleeds that are worth watching out for dangerous is if it appears accompanied by the following signs:

Through a comprehensive examination, including also involving blood tests, rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy, x-rays, CT scans, etc., doctors generally can determine, whether your condition is still considered normal, or dangerous.



In the meantime, so that your complaint doesn't always go on, here are our suggestions:
