Brief Answer:
Ingestion of alcohol prep pad

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Alcohol prep pads are usually saturated with 70% iso propyl alcohol.

As you did not experience symptoms like dizziness,sedation,slurred speech, unsteadiness,nausea and vomiting,it is very unlikely that you have ingested it.
Even if you have ingested it,it will hardly do anything very adverse.
Only large amounts (usually over 200 ml) of it are toxic and lethal as it is extremely irritating to the digestive tract.

Treatment for it's ingestion is mainly supportive and symptomatic.

Drink a lot of water,don't overthink and don't take any anti emetic (a vomiting might remove the toxic substance out of the body).

If you feel any further symptoms,see your clinician.
Gastric emptying(Gastric tube lavage),use of activated charcoal,intravenous fluids,watch and maintenance of vitals are done in such patients in hospital settings.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Alcohol Prep Pad Ingestion

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

As I told you that large quantities of it are toxic and may pose health problems so it is statutory for them to write the warning.

This is done in accordance with the legal regulations.

Brief Answer:
Symptoms of Coronavirus

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir ..... thanks for asking again.

Symptoms of corona virus infection are just like any other viral flu.
They include fever,headache,cough,sore throat,coryza,pain chest,fatigue, nausea,vomitings and shortness of breath.

This virus has been identified in Wuhan,China and is mainly prevalent there.

If you had a trip to china in last 2 weeks and have developed symptoms of respiratory illness,you should immediately take help of the a clinician and medical care.
The same is true If you have had close contact with someone having the symptoms and who had a recent travel to China.

If this does not apply to you,

maintain good hand hygiene,
keep yourself hydrated,
stay indoors,
avoid close contact with people who are coryzal,
avoid touching your eyes,nose and face.

Take anti histamines like Levocertizine(5 mg HS) and steam inhalation for cough,cold and Paracetamol (500 mg s.o.s) for fever.

There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for corona virus infection and treatment is only supportive and symptomatic.
For severe cases, treatment should include care to support vital organ functions.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Pump on back of wrist

Detailed Answer:
Yes Sir.....I have gone through it.

In my opinion,it might be an epidermal cyst or an inflammed venous conduit.

Kindly share the duration of this pump and history of any injury prior to it.
Is it painful?
Do you have restricted range of motion?

Most of the times,lumps on hands or wrist aren’t a cause for great concern. But rarely at times,they might be a sign of a more serious problem.

You can relieve the local discomfort by applying a warm,moist sponge over it and taking anti inflammatory OTC medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Warm Regards.

Brief Answer:
Pump on back of wrist

Detailed Answer:
There are remote possibilities of such growths to be cancerous or pre cancerous.

I don't think that you need to do anything active about it if it is not causing any symptoms.

You can get medical help if there is rapid growth,intense pain/irritation,local numbness/tingling or signs of infection.
Your clinician will evaluate and would develop a treatment plan which is appropriate for your condition.


Stay healthy.
Best Regards.

Answered by Dr. AJEET SINGH (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
TEST FOR CORONA VIRUS

Detailed Answer:
There is no link between corona beer and corona virus except the name
"corona" which means - "Crown".

Corona virus is tested by real time PCR Test for virus in a medical laboratory.

To determine if someone is positive or negative with corona virus,samples from the throat,sputum,nasal secretions or lung fluid of the patient are taken and then processed by laboratory technologists in the PCR Machine to get the results.
