Urinary Tract Infection

Question: I had UTI symptoms and was prescribed Nitrofurantoin which I took for 7 days. The symptoms still have not completely gone. What should I do?


Answer: You should have a urine test done along with urine culture. It seems that you have had a treatment failure and this can be due to antibiotic resistance and other factors. The urine culture will give information about which antibiotic will be effective for your infection. With treatment with a sensitive antibiotic, your infection will be cured and symptoms will resolve. 

Stay blessed!

False Positive HIV Antibody Test

Question: I did a rapid test in my home for detection of HIV. There was a faint line. Is it possible that this was a false positive?  Answer: It appears that the test was not done correctly. You should follow the instructions carefully when you do this test at home. At present, I would recommend a blood test in the lab or hospital. It is possible that this was a false positive. Since this test is very sensitive a possibility of a false positive result is always there. Love yourself!

Social Anxiety And Shyness

Question: I am extremely shy and afraid to go out? What should I do? Answer: It is possible that you are an introvert and this is not due to any underlying condition. However, if this is disabling and preventing you from doing your activities of daily living and achieving your goals you should consult a psychiatrist since it is possible that you are suffering from social anxiety disorder. The treatment of this condition is by behavioral therapy. You should consult a therapist who has experience in Acceptance And Commitment Therapy (ACT). This type of therapy has shown a very good result in treatment of this condition.
