Suggest Treatment For Sebaceous Cyst And Persistent Fatigue
I seem to be having a few issues. I had a horrible sebaceous cyst on my neck back in the fall. It was wicked and big and took several weeks to heal. Since then, I have noticed that I cannot tolerate any alcohol - even a sip is just horrible. It tastes horrible. My smell and taste seem to be off. I am noticing that I just smell funny. I recently caught (I think a virus) a cold that has resulted in 3 weeks of coughing and just feeling tired and have now lost my voice. I don t know if the cyst is connected, but not healing very quickly seems to be reflective that something is up with my immune system to me. I saw several different doctors due to doctors not being available when I had the cyst, but no one order any blood tests or scans. Should I ask for some tests to be run? Thanks for any guidance you can give me. Misty Pennington
hi healthcare magic user, from your history it looks like that you have removed sebaceous cyst. your Viral infection is not related to to sebaceous cyst. if I would have been your doctor I would have examined you to see throat congestion, would have done auscultation to rule out lower respiratory tract infection. I would have advised you to start with warm water and Betadine gargals 3-4times a day, must have put you on cough syrup and if infection then could have started on antibiotics.
