Fever for 4+ days and ketones in urine with 7 year old My 7 year old son had been running a fever for 4 days now (101-103). No upper respiratory symptoms and strep had been ruled out by his pediatrician . Urinalysis shows elevated ketones. Tomorrow he will get a blood test . He s a very active child (competitive gymnast & martial arts) and a fairly healthy eater. What worries me is that diabetes runs dominantly in my husband s paternal side. Should I worry?

The specific question that I want answered by a doctor is this: Is hair loss a side effect of taking the medication Colchicine. I have not yet begun taking this medication but it has been prescribed by my urologist to help treat Peyronie's disease. I am to take two 0.6 mg. tablets a day or a total of 1.2 mg. a day of Colchicine. Is there anything in the medical literature that would make hair loss even a remote side effect from taking 1.2 mg. of Colchicine a day? I have had hair loss problems recently and I do not want to add to it by taking a medication that has hair loss as a side effect. Please do not tell me what Colchicine is prescribed for or what it does. I am only interested in you telling me whether hair loss has been reported as a side effect from taking a dosage of 1.2 mg. a day.

Hello, I wish to start taking coconut oil but I am concerned whether it will be ok as I also take warfarin.

Hello. "Brief Hisotry"...4 weeks ago, I went to an internist who specializes in bariatrics to help me with weight loss. He put me on a high protein very low carb diet along with supplements, through which he determined which ones through extensive blood work. He gave me DHEA, Vitamin D, Nature-throid, CoQ10, Acetyl L-Carnitine (brand name NutriLean with Forslean...which is coleus forskolin) and I take 1/2 of a 37.5 mg, tablet of phentermine to control my appetite. I also have Crohns Disease for which I take Lialda and I get Remicade every 7 weeks.
My stomach has been hurting all week. This morning while eliminating , in the form of diarrhea, I noticed something pinkish in color (like the color of a pencil eraser) that appears to be rubbery, like a piece of latex balloon...with small bumps. I am very scared and I have every intention of calling my gastroentorologist as soon as they open however that won't be for another 2 hours I am very anxious to know what this could possibly be... I am hoping to get some suggestions Also, should I save it and bring it in to my doctor?
I have been asked to provide more details however i am not sure what they are looking for. All I can say is that the internist has eliminated foods and protein bars containing sugar alcohols and has also eliminated a pro-bitoic that he gace to me called Ther-biotic.

I have taken 500 mg of Benadryl. I have not meant to intentionally harm myself, I just wanted to sleep as I havent slept in over 2 days.I'm a little concerned that I possibly took too much.

i took griseofulvin and ten days in i felt pains could this have caused it. im 28 have always been in good health and my bloodwork normal except i started taking antifungal because after a ringworm a yr ago i still would see some spots come out here and there. had bloodwork done and my doctor said it was good just a little bit of enlarged blood cells which she said should have been caused by the antifungal
