What are the causes of my ear pain?

Ear pain can affect individuals of all ages, with various causes ranging from infections to underlying conditions. The discomfort of earaches can be excruciating and strike unexpectedly. Seeking assistance from an ENT Specialist in Ahmedabad is advisable, as they specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the ear, nose, and throat.

The Common Causes of Ear Pain:-

Ear Infections: Otitis media: Infection of the middle ear, often due to bacteria or viruses, causing inflammation and pressure buildup.

Eardrum Perforation: Injury or infection can cause a hole or tear in the eardrum, resulting in pain, discharge, and sometimes hearing loss.

Blockage or Impaction: Earwax (cerumen) buildup: Excessive earwax can block the ear canal, causing pressure and pain.

Foreign objects: Objects inserted into the ear can cause irritation, injury, or blockage.

Sinus Infections: Infections or inflammation in the sinuses can cause referred pain to the ears due to their close proximity.

Dental Problems: Tooth infections or dental abscesses can cause referred pain to the ears.

Throat Infections: Infections of the throat, such as tonsillitis or pharyngitis, can cause referred pain to the ears.

Trauma or Injury: Direct trauma to the ear or nearby structures can cause pain.

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, which helps equalize pressure in the middle ear, can lead to pressure changes and discomfort.

How can I treat ear pain at home?

Earwax Buildup: Ear pain due to earwax can be alleviated with over-the-counter ear drops designed to soften the wax.

Air Pressure Changes: Ear pain resulting from changes in air pressure, such as during air travel, can be prevented by chewing gum, which helps equalize pressure in the middle ear.

Swimmer’s Ear and Middle Ear Infections: Antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional can effectively treat swimmer’s ear and middle ear infections.

If you're experiencing persistent or severe ear pain, it's advisable to seek consultation with an ENT specialist in Ahmedabad for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

To give birth control counseling, a gynecologist could employ a live telemedicine system. Patients can have live video chats with endocrinologists to discuss current lab findings and ask questions.

Telemedicine statistics of India. Is it safe? How many patients have telemedicine in India?

Furthermore, the abrupt outbreak and spread of COVID-19 across the country, as well as the implementation of a stringent statewide lockdown to contain the virus, has created fresh prospects for the telemedicine sector in India to flourish. Patients and their families avoided attending hospitals and physician's clinics for fear of virus spread and infection, preferring instead to consult remotely via telemedicine services.

In addition, hospitals and doctors concentrated their efforts on treating and assisting COVID-19 patients, and outpatient services were suspended. As a result, outpatient patients opted to use telemedicine. This, in turn, is predicted to have a beneficial impact on market growth in the coming years.

This can be attributed to the country's improved healthcare IT infrastructure, as well as the country's expanding digitization. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases in the country, combined with a dearth of healthcare workers and physicians, is predicted to drive market expansion through FY2027.

In addition, hospitals and doctors concentrated their efforts on treating and assisting COVID-19 patients, and outpatient services were suspended. As a result, outpatient patients opted to use telemedicine. This, in turn, is predicted to have a beneficial impact on market growth in the coming years.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) instructed insurance companies in October 2020 to allow claim settlement for telemedicine consultations when standard consultation with a medical practitioner is authorized in the policy contract's terms and conditions.

As a result, market growth is likely to accelerate in the next years. Furthermore, encouraging government policies and programs, such as the Government of India's eSanjeevani project, have garnered a lot of traction among doctors, telemedicine companies, and patients.

This might be linked to the cloud segment's advantages, such as remote data access and lower total operational costs. The market can be divided into three types: tele-hospitals, mHealth, and tele-homes. Through FY2027, the tele-hospitals segment is predicted to dominate the market.

This is due to the growing adoption and use of telemedicine services in hospital settings for doctors to consult with diverse specialists. This not only saved the hospital money, but it also saved the patient money. While the tele-homes segment is expected to rise in the coming years as a result of increased digitalization and internet penetration across the country.

In addition, over the next few years, a growing health-conscious population, together with supportive government policies and efforts, is likely to generate the attractive potential for segmental expansion.

Afrin

Ingredient: Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride

Dosage Form:

Nasal Spray: 0.05% oxymetazoline.

Pump Mist: 0.05% oxymetazoline.

Nasal Spray Sinus: 0.05% oxymetazoline (with menthol, eucalyptol, and camphor).

Nasal Spray Extra-Moisturizing: 0.05% oxymetazoline (with glycerin, polyethylene glycol 1450, propylene glycol).

Menthol Nasal Spray: 0.05% oxymetazoline (with menthol, eucalyptol, and camphor).

Nose Drops: 0.05% oxymetazoline.

*NoDrip formulations contain microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium.

FDA Indication/Dosages:

For the temporary relief of nasal congestion associated with colds, hay fever, sinusitis, and upper respiratory allergies: 2-3 sprays or drops into each nostril twice daily – morning and evening. To spray, squeeze bottle quickly and firmly. Do not tilt head backward while spraying. Wipe nozzle clean after each use.

Pharmacology:

Oxymetazoline is a long-acting sympathomimetic amine that stimulates α-1 adrenergic receptors of the vascular smooth muscle. This causes vasoconstriction within the nasal mucosa and reduction of blood flow to the edematous nasal area. The resulting constriction shrinks the mucous membranes and allows drainage of the sinus cavities. Prolonged use will cause a rebound effect (rhinitis medicamentosa) that results in nasal congestion sometimes exceeding the original symptoms.

Evaluation: Allergies and the common cold are caused by different mechanisms, but the symptoms associated with each are similar. Allergies of the upper respiratory tract are caused by antibody-mediated reactions to inhaled antigens. The common cold is caused by any number of viruses. Allergies may occur year-round or during seasons in which the offending antigen is present. One of the major symptoms of both is nasal stuffiness or congestion. Other symptoms may include rhinitis, sneezing, conjunctivitis, cough, or pharyngitis.

Contraindications/Precautions: Do not use in patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Although systemic absorption is minimal, use with caution in patients with coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, prostatic hypertrophy, and glaucoma. Do not use this product for more than three days. If nasal congestion persists, consult a physician. Sharing the dispenser may spread infection.

Adverse Effects: Burning, stinging, and sneezing.

Patient Consultation:

Ask the patient how they have been treating their symptoms thus far.

Internal decongestants may be used for long-term therapy.

Do not use Afrin for more than three days.

If nasal congestion persists, consult a physician.

To spray, squeeze bottle quickly and firmly. Do not tilt head backward while spraying. Wipe nozzle clean after each use.

To instill drops, lie down and tilt head back. Do not touch dropper with nasal surface. Remain with head tilted back for 5 minutes after administration.

Bacterial and viral infections of respiratory tract – how are they distinguished and treated?

In popular literature, it is customary to distinguish diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, but in practice such a division is very arbitrary: for example, the flu begins in the nasopharynx (upper respiratory tract) and quickly descends into the larynx, trachea, and sometimes reaches the alveoli (lower respiratory tract), causing pneumonia. And other viral diseases of the respiratory tract behave in a similar way: starting as an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract, the disease rapidly migrates down the respiratory system. And if we take into account the high frequency of complications of acute respiratory infections, then the division of inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract into viral and bacterial also becomes very relative. The mucous membrane affected by the virus is willingly colonized by pathogenic bacteria, taking advantage of the temporary decrease in local immunity.

If we talk about the causes of the main diseases of the respiratory tract, they can be divided into the following groups:

- Infections. This is the most common cause of airway abnormalities. It includes viral, bacterial, fungal infections of acute and chronic forms. If we talk about specific diagnoses, this group includes most of the pathologies of an inflammatory nature (from rhinosinusitis to bronchopneumonia), the main symptoms of which are runny nose, fever, sore throat, and cough.

- Allergies. It is the second most common cause of respiratory illness. If infections occur, as a rule, against the background of insufficient activity of the immune system, then with allergies, on the contrary, it is excessive. The body perceives the foreign protein of allergens that have fallen on the mucous membrane as a particle of a pathogenic microorganism and begins to "attack". The result is inflammation, not infectious, but allergic. Most often it is the well-known "hay fever" called in medicine allergic rhinitis. Allergies can cause pharyngitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis. Bronchial asthma stands apart - it is known that there is an allergic component in the mechanism of development of this disease, but the exact reasons for its occurrence have not yet been clarified.

- Occupational pathologies. These are diseases such as silicosis, anthracosis and other diseases caused by prolonged exposure to conditions where the air is polluted with large amounts of fine dust.

- Autoimmune diseases. These are quite rare pathologies in which the body begins to perceive its own tissues as foreign and directs immune complexes against them. Among the pathologies of the respiratory tract, only two are actually autoimmune - sarcoidosis of the lungs and idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis. But often systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, polymyositis, and others, can also affect the respiratory organs.

But no matter how varied the causes of diseases of the respiratory system, most are still acute infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract: ARVI, including influenza, sinusitis, tonsillitis and the like. Therefore, speaking about the treatment of respiratory diseases, we will mean these problems.

Treatment methods

- First of all, the patient needs a medical and protective regime. This means that the patient should be in bed all the time while the high temperature is present.

- If you don’t have appetite, you do not need to eat. If you are hungry, you need dishes of a soft and semi-liquid consistency and of a comfortable temperature that do not irritate an inflamed pharynx.

- Regular ventilation and humidification of the air in the room is mandatory (if there is no special apparatus or aquarium in the house, wet terry towels on a battery can help). During ventilation, the patient should be warmly covered.

Some people find that rest and drinking plenty of fluids is enough to help the body cope with most acute respiratory infections. But experts who know firsthand what a complication of ARVI is (sinusitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, bronchitis), as a rule, prefer to help the body with drugs.

What drugs can be used in such cases:

- Vasoconstrictor drugs (for example, xylometazoline) - reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa, reduce the duration of the common cold by about a third. They help to normalize the outflow of mucus from the middle ear cavity into the nasopharynx and from the sinuses, thus reducing the likelihood of developing otitis media and sinusitis. It is not recommended to use these remedies for more than five days in a row, and also too often within one day, as they are addictive and the opposite effect is possible.

- NSAIDs - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin) - are widely advertised "head and fever" drugs. They reduce the severity of general intoxication, contribute to a decrease in temperature.

- Antibacterial drugs (antibiotics). They are prescribed when complications of a bacterial nature appear. Usually, a symptom of such a complication is the "second wave" of the disease - after a short-term relief, the temperature rises again, and nasal discharge or sputum becomes purulent. Antibiotics are ineffective for preventing bacterial infection and useless against viruses.

Citrus fruits and strawberries are extremely high in vitamin C. They even have beneficial nutrients like fiber and potassium, which may help to ease illness symptoms like diarrhea and dehydration.

3. Healing Spices If you’re congested, it’s horrible to desire nothing eases your sinus pain. the great news is that certain spices can help to open airways and fight inflammation. Hot pepper, horseradish, thyme, and fenugreek can all have decongesting or healing properties.

You can prepare foods and drinks that contain these spices. a number of these also are available in supplement form, but you ought to always ask a doctor before taking supplements.

4. Garlic If you’ve ever wondered why garlic has been used medicinally for many years, it’s because garlic contains compounds that help modulate the system and fight inflammation.

Garlic also can help to form sure you recover faster once you do succumb to illness.

You can eat raw garlic, roasted garlic, cook with garlic, or take garlic supplements – or any combination therein – to harness its immune-supporting powers.

5. Tea

While any fluids might work, tea is often extra therapeutic for illness, especially ginger tea, herb tea, green tea, and tea, due to their anti-inflammatory properties and antibacterial benefits.  Plus, warm tea is superb for soothing uncomfortable pharyngitis.

You can take your tea to a different level by adding a touch of raw honey, which is antibacterial and may help to coat pharyngitis or reduce coughing.

6. Vegetables Sure, veggies won't be high on the list of appealing foods when you’re sick, but a number of them have more vitamin C than fruits, and that they help the system in other ways. They’re also rich in vitamin E, which is another potent antioxidant nutrient.

Spinach, kale, and broccoli are three of the foremost immune-boosting vegetables you'll eat, because of high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and fiber.

The key to eating veggies when you’re sick is to prep them with something comforting, like adding them to the soup. you'll even add them to smoothies or smoothie bowls. When paired with fruit, they will be easier to urge down when you’re feeling under the weather.

Definition

Scarlet fever is a common infectious disease caused by group A streptococcus. The bacteria infect the throat and release a toxin that leads to a rash all over the body. The incubation period for the infection is less than one week, and the rash usually breaks out on the second day.

The strep infection is spread by droplets during coughing and sneezing, and by direct contact with infected body fluids such as saliva. Most children with strep throat do not develop scarlet fever, as only certain types of group A strep bacteria make the toxin that causes the rash. Contrary to popular belief, the infection is not more serious because of the rash. In rare cases, scarlet fever can occur as a result of a skin infection, impetigo, caused by the same strep bacteria.

Prevalence

Scarlet fever is much more common in children than in adults, and it mostly affects five- to twelve-year-olds. Unlike many other childhood diseases, people can have scarlet fever several times in their life. About a quarter of all teenagers have already had scarlet fever at least once.

Scarlet Fever risk factors

Risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing scarlet fever include:

Age – being between the ages of two and 10 yearsAn untreated infectionExposure to a family or household member who has a streptococcal infectionCrowded conditions, such as a daycare center or school, andBeing prone to having Streptococcus bacteria living in your throat

Causes of Scarlet Fever

Scarlet fever is caused by Streptococcus (group A strep) bacteria, which causes strep throat. When the bacteria release toxins in the body, the characteristic red rash results.The bacteria primarily spread when an infected person sneezes or coughs, and passes the bacteria through liquid droplets in their nose or mouth.Infected droplets on the surface of shared dishes and utensils may also cause transmission.Touching the open sores on the skin of a person with a streptococcal skin infection can also transmit the bacteria. Following exposure, it takes 2-4 days until the onset of symptoms.

Scarlet Fever symptoms

Scarlet fever usually is triggered by a strep throat infection, which causes the following symptoms:

Fever and chillsHeadacheA red and sore throatEnlarged tonsilsSwollen lymph nodes (“swollen glands”) in the neck

Within 12 to 48 hours after these symptoms appear, the typical scarlet fever rash begins.

���

The scarlet fever rash is as bright red as sunburn, and it often has a fine texture like sandpaper (“sandpaper rash”) or gooseflesh (goosebumps). It usually starts in the underarm area, groin, and neck, then spreads to the trunk, back, arms and legs. Other symptoms of scarlet fever include:



Sandpaper rash

A pale area around the mouthWhite strawberry tongue- A white coating with red dots on the tongue’s surfaceRed strawberry tongue or raspberry tongue that occurs when the white tongue coating peels and leaves a red coating with red dotsPastia’s lines- A darkening or redness of the normal skin creases, especially in the crook of the arm



Development of the strawberry tongue associated with scarlet fever

Occasionally, scarlet fever follows a streptococcal skin infection, such as an infection of burns or wounds, or impetigo. When this happens, the rash and related skin symptoms appear, but there are no symptoms related to strep throat.

Complications of scarlet fever

Most cases of scarlet fever don’t cause complications, particularly if the condition is properly treated.

In the early stages, there’s a small risk of:

An ear infectionA throat abscess (a painful collection of pus)Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses)Pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs)

Very rare complications that can occur at a later stage include:

Rheumatic fever, which can cause joint pain, chest pain and shortness of breathGlomerulonephritis (damage to the tiny filters inside the kidneys)Liver damageOsteomyelitis (infection of the bone)Blood poisoningNecrotizing fasciitis (a flesh-eating disease)Toxic shock syndrome (a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection)

You may have one of these rare complications if you’re very unwell, in severe pain and have a severe headache, vomiting or diarrhea.

Diagnosis and test

It can be clinically diagnosed; further testing may be required to distinguish it from other illnesses.

Rapid antigen detection test- This is a very specific test but not very sensitive i.e., if the result is positive (indicating that the Group A Strep Antigen was detected) then it is appropriate to treat them with antibiotics. However, if the test is negative (indicating that they do not have Group A Strep Pharyngitis), then a throat culture is required to confirm since it could be a false negative result.

Throat cultures- This is done after antibiotic therapy and can tell you if the infection has been removed.

Treatment and medications

Most mild cases of scarlet fever go away in about a week without treatment. However, you are advised to get treatment as this will speed recovery. If it is left untreated, the skin may continue to shed for several weeks. There is also a higher risk of complications without treatment. Most people recover around four to five days after starting treatment.

Antibiotics

The most common treatment for scarlet fever is a 10-day course of antibiotics. This will usually be penicillin taken by mouth. For those allergic to penicillin, the antibiotic erythromycin can be used insteadStay at home for at least 24 hours after starting treatmentSymptoms usually go in a few days if the antibiotics are taken properly. The whole course of treatment must be finished to make sure the infection is fully clearedThe fever will normally disappear within 12 to 24 hours of starting antibiotics

Other treatments

If you have scarlet fever, drink plenty of cool fluids, especially if you do not have much of an appetite. Keep the room cool.Paracetamol can also be taken to relieve aches and pains and bring down a high temperature. Calamine lotion can relieve the itch of the rash.

How it can be prevented

Healing Your Raw, Sore Throat Naturally

There are all types of reasons why you might experience a sore throat, but infection is by far the most common. They are usually caused by either tonsillitis or pharyngitis. Symptoms that often come along with a sore throat are redness, swelling, high fever, trouble swallowing and pain in the ear. Children are more likely to suffer with sore throats than adults because they are around contagions more at school and child care.

Causes, Diagnosing a Sore Throat

Most people tend to diagnose sore throats on their own. If it does not go away at the end of 7 days or comes with a high fever and purging then you should give your doctor a call right away. You need to be diagnosed by a professional, in this case.

Sore throats can be associated with too many medical conditions to attempt to list them all here. They can be caused by viruses or bacteria.

Bacterial Causes of Sore Throat

Ninety-five percent of the time sore throats are caused by viruses, infectious mononucleosis or a cold. The remaining 5 percent of the cases are bacteria driven. The culprits include streptococcus, hemophilus and mycoplasma. These types of infections are usually worse than those caused by viruses.

One of the most common types of bacterial throat infections is strep throat, or A Streptococcus. Not only is this bacterium bad for your throat but it can cause damage to your kidneys, heart, tonsils and ears.

Throat infections are almost always highly contagious. They pass from person to person in the form of airborne drops, through direct contact and from sharing objects with an infected person.

Environmental Causes of Sore Throat

Things in our environment and things that we consume can also lead to a sore throat. Smoking, drinking vast quantities of alcohol, inhaling second hand smoke and breathing in fumes from certain chemicals can all lead to problems.

No matter what the cause, your throat hurts. The one thing that you do know is that it is not comfortable and irritating. Before you leave and spend money on over-the-counter drugs, consider how you can aid yourself at home.

What Not to Do

To start, there are some things that you will want to avoid when caring for a sore throat:

Avoid overuse of your vocal cords. Talk less and avoid yelling at all. You want the muscles in your throat to relax. Even whispering and chewing gum can cause stress on your throat muscles.

Avoid going outside if the air is dry and cold. Conversely, indoor heating can be harmful as well. If you use indoor heating, you may want to try using a humidifier to counteract the dryness.

Try to stay away from spicy or acidic foods that can irritate the inflamed tissue in your throat. Also avoid dairy products because they can cause an increase in phlegm.

Natural Remedies for Sore Throat

Gargle

The throat might be irritated because it is dried-out. Try gargling with salt water. While you gargle focus on the rear of your throat (without coughing). The mixture will comfort a rough dry mouth and throat. Duplicate this procedure every 60 minutes as required. Many gargle with H2O that has chili powder added. The spiciness in the gargle can numb the throat.

Drink a lot of Fluids

Once our throat becomes raw, we do not even wish to open our mouths. It may be difficult to eat and swallow with the anguish. This might lead to dehydration. For somebody with a sore throat, it may be serious. Consume a lot of H2O, tea, coffee (if you like it) and other low calorie drinks. Try using a straw if you can not manage to swig it down. It might be gentler on your sore throat anguish.

Honey

Honey comes from bees and is filled with their immunity. A tablespoonful of honey every day may help relieve irritation and pain by coating and calming the throat. It likewise features antibiotic properties.

Flush your sinuses

A sore throat may be caused from thick mucus secretions that are affiliated with a cold, flu or a sinus infection. Flushing the sinuses helps to dilute these secretions and then they can pass through and out.

Tea

Something warm on the throat might help alleviate the anguish. Sample a cupful of your preferred herbal tea with a little bit of fresh lemon juice. It can likewise comfort irritated throats and help with the anguish.

Add Moisture to the Air

Employing a warm air or cool mist humidifier might keep the air hydrated. Dry air can irritate a raw throat. Adding moisture perks up things.

Change Air Filters

Occasionally, sore throats may develop when the air Is not as clean inside your house as it could be. Replace the air filter every 3 months to guarantee that there's a lower incidence of dust mites, dander, lint and dirt in the air.

Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic acid is powdered vitamin C. This might help step-up your immunity to things such as sore throats. The healthier you are, the lower your hazards of becoming sick in the wintertime. You can take 1/4 tsp in juice 3 to 4 times per day while ill. Also supplementing with garlic (either a good supplement, or simply cut up a clove into pill-sized pieces and swallow as you would a pill) and zinc can also help you fight infection and recover more quickly.

Hot Peppers

It may seem contradictory, but hot and spicy peppers are reputed to help a sore throat. Try simmering some chicken stock with minced raw garlic and then add some red pepper. Sip several times a day.

Apple Cider Vinegar

While it stings when you use it, many swear by the effectiveness of apple cider vinegar. You can dilute it with warm water to use as a gargle that you can then swallow. You can make apple cider vinegar more palatable by mixing it with raw honey, water, and dried ginger and drinking this mixture hot or cold.

Herbs to Help a Sore Throat

Echinacea Tincture for Sore Throat

One of the best remedies for a sore throat is tincture of echinacea. It also has a numbing effect on the tissue it touches, so it provides almost immediate relief in addition to bringing its germ-fighting capabilities to the sore area. You can add the tincture to warm water to make a tea and/or gargle, or squirt a dropperful directly into your mouth and throat.

Ginger Tea

Do you have some ginger root in your refrigerator or dried in your pantry? Ginger is said to make an effective anti-inflammatory tea. Grate up about a teaspoon per cup, steep, and sweeten with some raw honey. You can drink this all day.

Licorice

Not the candy – true licorice is what you need to help soothe a sore throat. Licorice root may be sold in bulk at your local health food store, or you may be able to find a commercial blend of licorice tea. It has a natural sweetness and throat-coating, anti-inflammatory properties.

Slippery Elm

This herb has a history of soothing sore throats and coating mucous membranes to promote healing. You can make your own lozenges by mixing enough strong licorice tea with powdered slippery elm bark to make a dough.

What is Polysomnography?

Polysomnography, also known as sleep study, is a test performed to diagnose sleep disorders. Brain waves, oxygen level in the blood, breathing and heart rate along side movements of the legs and eyes are monitored and recorded.

How does this work?

The purpose of brasilia polysomnography is to extract information about and sleep disorders. It is used to provide clinically accurate data on your sleep as well as snoring, respiratory disorders, abnormal behaviors and movements for the entire duration you sleep. The patient sleep environment conforms to their everyday environment, and their schedule of time and lifestyle before bed is also left to rest. In the above mentioned parameters, the patient is evaluated and a report made according to their behavior.

Guidance:

Do not be under the influence of alcohol or any other substance that can make it difficult to place the electrodes. Avoid coke, coffee, dark tea. The presence of caffeine remains in the body for at least 7 hours which makes it difficult for the patient to sleep at night. The patient should come fed since we do not have meal at night. Make use of your medications regularly. Report on examination day whether it is sensitive to items such as ether or some other item. Bring your own clothes, shoes, toothbrush, hairbrush and toiletries. Hair should be washed before going to the clinic and do not apply any gel or cream. Avoid resting in the middle of the day.

WHAT CANCER DOES EMOTIONALLY? (Tagalog ver.)

WHAT CANCER DOES EMOTIONALLY????

Karaniwang Mahirap na pinagdaraanan ng isang tao na may Cancer ay ang “Physical Pain”. Maaaring sumasakit ang katawan o unti - unting nanghihina…

Ngunit bukod sa Physical pain na ito, mayroon pang isang bagay ang nagpapahirap sa pinagdaraanan ng mga Cancer patients. Ito ay tinatawag na “ Emotional pain or STRESS ”.

Yung mga nagtatanong sa kanilang sarili na…

“Sa dinami dami ng tao sa mundo,bakit ako pa ang nagkaroon ng Cancer?!”

(PLEASE Do Not be offended, pero ito po ang isa sa karaniwang tanong na nabubuo sa isipan ng mga taong naghihirap sa Cancer)

Marami po ang mga nagpupunta sa mga Consultations na malungkot at umiiyak dahil sa kanilang karamdaman. Nahihirapan silang tanggapin sa kanilang sarili kung bakit sila nagkaroon ng ganitong uri ng karamdaman..

But the Good News is… ang CANCER ay Napapagaling na!

We have several Options on how will a patient want to treat Him/Her.

* First is by Operation * Second by Chemo Therapy * Third by Radiation * Fourth by the Combination of these three

NGUNIT ang mga ito ay may kanya kanya ring epekto na hindi maganda sa katawan ng tao.

~ Sa Operation halimbawa na lamang, maaaring matanggal agad ang Bukol, ngunit hindi makasisiguro kung may kumalat pang Cancer cells sa ibang bahagi ng katawan o wala na. Minsan, maaari pa itong pagmulan ng komplikasyon.

~ Sa Chemo Therapy naman, nilalason ang Cancer Cells. Kaya lamang, nadadamay nito pati na rin ang Healthy Cells. Kaya nanghihina ang pasyente. At minsan ay hindi pa maganda ang epekto ng Chemo Therapy sa kanilang katawan na nagiging sanhi ng kanilang pagpanaw.

~ At sa Radiation ay ganoon din… Susunugin ang Cancer Cells, ngunit hindi nito kayang iwasan na madamay pati ang mga Healthy Cells.

At ngaun... May mas makabagong pamamaraan upang malabanan Ang cancer at upang hindi na ito makapaminsala pa...

Here are the latest information between Cancer & Chemotherapy:

Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person’s lifetime.

When the person’s immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs and will results in permanent hair loss.

Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

📌How Modern Medicine Really Work?

We were raised believing that if we are sick; take a medicine and the sickness will be cured. What we don’t know is that 99% of the time, prescribed medicines only control the symptoms and do not cure the root cause of the sickness. For this reason, medicines provide temporary relief, comfort, and extend life only but never cure the cause of the sickness. For example, medicines prescribed for treatment of high blood pressure have to be taken continuously. Patients have to live under this medication (maintenance) and may suffer quality of life. Also, medicines have tremendous side effects giving rise to other health problems.

Good news is that we have “natural medicine” in our body - our immune system. To cure and prevent diseases, we should strengthen our immune system - fruits and vegetable contains very high phytonutrients/plant-based nutrients. These phytonutrients are essential for strengthening the immune system which will lead to a healthier, stronger, and sick free body.

Umeclidinium and Vilanterol (Inhalation)

Brand Name: Anoro Ellipta

Common Dosage Forms:

Inhalation Powder: Each inhaled dose delivers the contents of two foil blisters, one containing 62.5 mcg umeclidinium and the other containing 25 mcg vilanterol. The actual delivered dose is patient dependent.

FDA Indications/Dosages:

For the long-term once-daily maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): One inhalation of Anoro Ellipta once daily.

Monitor: K

Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics: Umeclidinium bromide is a long-acting antimuscarinic agent. Inhibition of the M3 receptor in the airways leads to bronchodilation. Vilanterol trifenatate is a long-acting beta-2-adrenergic agonist. Vilanterol stimulates adenyl cyclase, the enzyme which catalyzes the formation of cAMP (cyclic 3’5’ adenosine monophosphate) from ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Increased cAMP is associated with relaxation of bronchial, uterine, and to a lesser extent, vascular smooth muscle through stimulation of beta-2-adrenergic receptors. In addition, increased cAMP levels inhibit the release of mediators of immediate hypersensitivity from cells, especially from mast cells. Absorption of both active ingredients does occur through the lung with steady state levels reached in 14 days, however, most of the effects are site-specific to the lung. Metabolism occurs primarily through the CYP2D6 (umeclidinium) and CYP3A4 isoenzyme (vilanterol).

Drug Interactions: Increased cardiovascular effects may occur when given with STRONG CYP3A4 INHIBITORS (ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir). Use with caution when using within 2 weeks of monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or drugs which may prolong the QTc interval. May worsen the effects of hypokalemia when used with loop or thiazide diuretics. Additive adverse effects may be seen when used with other anticholinergics.

Contraindications/Precautions: Contraindicated in patients allergic to milk proteins or other ingredients in Alloro Ellipta. Long-acting beta-2-adrenergic agents (LABA) increase the risk of asthma-related death. Do not initiate in acutely deteriorating COPD or to treat acute symptoms. Do not use in combination with other LABA because of risk of overdose. If paradoxical bronchospasm occurs, discontinue use and institute alternative therapy. Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disorders. Use with caution in patients with convulsive disorders, thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, and ketoacidosis. Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma may occur. Worsening of narrow-angle glaucoma. Use with caution in patients with prostatic hyperplasia or bladder neck obstruction. Pregnancy Category C.

Adverse Effects: Most common adverse reactions include pharyngitis, sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infections, constipation, diarrhea, pain in extremities, muscle spasm, neck pain, and chest pain.

Patient Consultation:

Properly train patients on how to use the breath activated Ellipta device.

If a dose is missed, skip it and return to normal dosing schedule.

Not intended to provide immediate relief of bronchospasm.

To receive the full benefits of therapy, use on a regular basis. Although benefits can be seen after 2 days of treatment, up to 4 weeks may be needed to observe benefits.

Contact a physician if the above side effects are severe or persistent or if the effectiveness of short-acting beta-2-agonists decreases.

Contact a physician if symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma (e.g., eye pain or discomfort, blurred vision, visual halos) or urinary retention (e.g., difficulty passing urine, painful urination) occur.
