  • Risk Factor of Coronavirus Gunshot Wound Victim?

    That person is not at more risk of contracting the coronavirus, but he might have more serious complications if he does contract it. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Is there such a thing as a diet for Lupus SLE patients with RA?

    I am sure there are many diets that are touted as beneficial, however, I am not aware of any that have been proven. A healthy balanced diet would be recommended and there are diets specific to any conditions (i.e., renal disease, obesity, or diabetes) that may coexist with lupus. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How to treat a fungal infection?

    The question is too vague. There are many types of fungal infections. There are superficial infections of the skin, Vaginal fungal infections commonly called "yeast infections," fungal infections of the mouth called thrush, of the esophagus, particularly in immunocompromised patients and more serious and often life-threatening fungal infections of the lungs, blood and even of the central nervous system "fungal meningitis." Each type of infection requires different treatment approaches. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What would cause a change in focus and balance through the day?

    Water intoxication? Unclear. Your husband needs to be evaluated by his physician. Preferably at a time of the day when the symptoms typically appear. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How bad does pneumonia have to be to be hospitalized?

    If you are short of breath and your oxygen levels are depressed and your white blood cell count is markedly elevated, you may need to be hospitalized. The total clinical picture and evaluation by a physician is required to determine how sick you are and whether hospitalization, observation, or outpatient management is appropriate. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Can having MS make getting coronavirus more dangerous?

    By itself, MS should not increase the risk of a more severe infection, although it has not been studied. However, MS patients taking biologic medications (such as Ocrevus, Lemtrada, and others) may have reduced ability to fight off infections. Consult with your doctor if you are taking an immune modifying drug. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Can you still get herpes if you are intimate only once with someone who has herpes?

    YES. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Can you survive double pneumonia?

    All "double pneumonia" means is that you have pneumonia in both lungs, the left and the right. Yes, of course this is survivable. A lot depends on other factors. Potentially very serious. Doctors would not treat anything if it was "not survivable" at all. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Should I see my doctor to get approval for Covid-19 Testing?

    You are relatively asymptomatic. Unless your symptoms worsen and you have a fever of at least 100.5, I would not request testing, unless you live in an area that is testing asymptomatic individuals. William Z. Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • Am I sick?

    You are not well and your symptoms merit an evaluation. You did not need to go to the ER, however, you should go to see your physician, family doctor, or local clinic for further evaluation to include a physical exam and a throat culture, at the very least. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What diet should be taken to reduce creatinine?

    A high creatinine is usually indicative of renal failure or CKD (chronic kidney disease). The creatinine and BUN determines the estimated GFR (glomerular filtration rate) which indicates how serious the CKD is. The cause of the CKD must be determined. Alternatively a high creatinine may be due to acute kidney injury or severe dehydration. Your physicians must determine what condition has resulted in the high creatinine. The condition must be addressed to take the right approach to managing this. Poorly controlled Diabetes and hypertension are frequent causes but not the only ones. William Z Cohen M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What is the best over the counter medicine for vertigo?

    Meclizine commonly found as Dramamine is the best over-the-counter medication for motion sickness and is clinically effective for benign positional vertigo in most cases. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • How is tuberculosis diagnosed?

    The PPD skin test is a standard screening test. If it is positive, you have been exposed to TB. That would be followed by a chest X-ray.There are other confirmatory tests that are available. A culture of the suspected infection (e.g., a sputum culture) is the gold standard. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • What should you not drink with a sore throat?

    I can't think of anything you shouldn't drink - except, of course, alcohol to excess! Fluids are good for any upper respiratory condition particularly warm liquids. If a sore throat is severe or persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by fever, you should see a doctor. William Z. Cohen, M.D., FAAFP READ MORE

  • When do girls get their first period?

    She should know what she may experience as menarche (onset of periods) may occur at any time for her. Ages 11 to 16 are the norm. She should understand about female anatomy and what causes the menstrual cycle. She should understand after menarche begins basic education about reproduction. She should understand how pregnancy occurs and how it can be prevented. An educated young woman is more likely to make the right choices and not the wrong ones. William Z. Cohen, M.D., F. A. A. F. P.
