I have itching from my waist to my knees, with dark rashes and swelling that disappear after 2 hours. I have seen a skin specialist and have been taking Levocetirizine 10 mg, but it has not helped. What should I do?

Since your itching, rashes, and temporary swelling have not improved with standard antihistamines, it is important to revisit a dermatologist or immunologist for reassessment, as this could be chronic or recurrent hives or another allergic or inflammatory condition. Your doctor may perform tests to identify triggers and may recommend a different class of antihistamines, short-term corticosteroids, or other treatments tailored to your condition. Keeping a record of potential triggers, such as foods, medications, or environmental factors, can help guide effective management.
A woman has vomiting, headache, sneezing, tension, and a thyroid problem, and also has stone test results. She tried homoeopathic treatment but did not improve. What is the correct approach to managing her condition?

Given her multiple symptoms, thyroid disorder, and stone test results, the best approach is to consult a qualified doctor for a thorough evaluation rather than relying solely on homoeopathy. She may need blood tests, imaging, and a review of her thyroid function and stone status to identify the exact cause of her vomiting, headache, and other symptoms. Treatment should be tailored based on the findings. It may include managing the thyroid problem, addressing any stones, and treating underlying causes of symptoms such as headaches, nausea, or tension. Self-medication should be avoided, and timely medical supervision is essential to prevent complications.
I have had right-sided back pain above my abdomen for three days. I am taking Citralka, thinking it may be related to a stone problem. What should I do?
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar
M Pharmacy
Right-sided back pain above the abdomen for 3 days can be due to muscle strain, acidity, infection, a kidney stone, or other conditions. So, the exact cause cannot be confirmed without proper examination, and taking Citralka on your own may not help if the pain is not due to a stone, so it is best to consult your doctor for assessment, urine tests, and an ultrasound if needed so they can identify the real cause and guide you on the correct and safe treatment based on your current condition.
Do kidney stones affect the right and left kidneys differently?
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar
M Pharmacy
Kidney stones do not affect the right and left kidneys differently because both kidneys have the same structure and function, and stones cause similar problems, such as obstruction, urinary symptoms, or infection, in either kidney. The location of the stone within the kidney or urinary tract, its size, and other factors like shape and number influence the severity of symptoms, risk of blockage, and the treatment approach. Stones in the right kidney cause right-sided pain, while stones in the left kidney cause left-sided pain. Diagnosis is confirmed with imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan, and urine tests, and persistent pain, blood in urine, fever, or difficulty passing urine should prompt a doctor?s evaluation for timely and appropriate treatment.
What can I do for high blood uric acid levels?

High uric acid can be improved by drinking plenty of water, reducing red meat, organ meats, and certain seafood, limiting alcohol, especially beer, avoiding sugary drinks, and maintaining a healthy weight. Because high uric acid can sometimes be linked to gout or kidney issues, it is essential to see your doctor to check your condition and decide whether lifestyle changes are enough or if you need medication.
