Dr. William Zachary Cohen MD's Expert Contributions
  • Meningitis?

    Anyone discharged from the hospital after having meningitis needs to have a follow-up visit with their PCP if not a neurologist within 7-10 days. Make sure you make the appointment. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Covid vaccines?

    It's perfectly safe, but why would you do that? In 3-4 weeks, you should go back and have another Pfizer or Moderna shot. You'll be extra protected. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How often should a heart stent be checked?

    At least annually. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Is weight lifting good for type 2 diabetics?

    Aerobic exercise is better. Especially if you are overweight. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Hepatitis C?

    Unless you shared the cigarette with this patient or put your finger in your mouth after touching the saliva on the cigarette, you are unlikely to get the hepatitis C. Wash your hands after assisting this patient. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I worry about lyme disease?

    See your doctor and get tested. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Do probiotics help inflammation of the stomach?

    No evidence that they do. Try OTC famotidine (generic Pepcid) for a few weeks. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I see a dr? Or what is going on?

    96.5-97.5 is normal and not a "low-grade temperature." Follow up with your doctor after you finish your antibiotics if you do not feel better. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Cholesterol?

    Over-the-counter? Not that I'm aware of. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Malnutrition?

    Most people die if they do not eat in 30 days. See a doctor. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Can you be hospitalized for pneumonia?

    Of course. But it depends on how severe the pneumonia is. In all cases, hospitalizations are dependent on the severity of the illness. Can you breathe? Are you quite short of breath? Do you have a high fever? Are you too weak to get out of bed? Your blood count contains important factors. Is your white blood cell count extremely elevated? Your doctors can make this decision. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Back pain due to liver/excessive alcohol intake recently?

    Back pain is often a sign of gallbladder problems. Excessive drinking can also lead to acute pancreatitis which causes severe back pain. See your doctor and get the ultrasound as soon as possible. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Celexa?

    That is not true. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Burning sensation?

    You probably have a sexually transmitted disease. See your doctor to be tested. Frequently, chlamydia can have mild symptoms in a man, but can lead to serious problems in a woman. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Overall cholesterol - do I need medication?

    You don't say what your total cholesterol level is. Although you have a high HDL, the ratio of total cholesterol/HDL is a helpful measure. If it is significantly less than 4 you may not need to take medicine. However, you have a very high LDL (bad cholesterol level). You might consult a cardiologist or an endocrinologist. If you have a family history of heart disease, you probably should take medication. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Abdominal pain?

    Assuming you are not sexually active, you should see your pediatrician or family doctor. If you are sexually active, you should see an OB/GYN. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Urine therapy?

    It is harmless, but will do nothing for you. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Where is the pain of pancreatitis felt?

    Generally, the upper abdomen and the pain may radiate to the back. Pancreatitis is associated with nausea and vomiting. Pancreatic CA is generally not symptomatic until late. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • I'm always thirsty and can't stop drinking?

    This is a symptom of diabetes. Please see your doctor. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Medication for partner?

    Most physicians will prescribe enough medication for "patient and partner". Ask your physician if he will do this. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE
