Why would you do any test without seeing a doctor! and 99.8 is not exactly fever. It must be more than 99.9.

It means there is a cyst. Better consult and take proper treatment instead of searching for meaning.

You are suffering from allergic rhinitis. 1. Do saline gargles daily (preferably twice). 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.

Hi, I have undergone a CSF test on 3rd October 2018. But I am still suffering from the side effects. Though things have improved a bit but the discomfort persists. How long does it take to recover completely from the side effects? What precautions should I take for my speedy recovery? Please suggest!

Regards Lybrate user. Csf testing involves invasive procedure to reach into the coverings of the spinal cord to retrieve small amount of cerebrospinal fluid. The procedure may lead to a small puncture hole in the coverings and just like any other wound, it will heal within 2-3 weeks. However, there are possibilities of small scar developing when the wound heals and if not appropriately moved in the first 2-3 weeks, the scar may tend to get rigid and then cause pressure on the small nerves in the area. Also, the coverings of the spinal cord are very richly supplied by small blood vessels and small nerves. At times, the small nerves may become the source of the pain. Given the procedure was done 4 years prior, it is safe to assume that the tissues would have healed well. You may attempt to test and treat yourself, provided there is no other known back problems at this time. In sitting position, try to bend forward and touch the toes, move all the way forward as tolerated. Observe where the pain comes and rate it between 0 and 10. Now, try to repeat the same movement 10 times, and again rate it between 0 and 10. If you notice the numbers to be just the same or little less after 10 repetitions, it is safe for you to just repeat the forward bending 10 repetitions daily. If you notice the pain increases as you perform the repetitions, stop the task and consult an orthopaedician or orthopaedic physiotherapist to get evaluated further. You may feel free to reach us for an online consult via Lybrate, you may use doctor code drc221.

Dear Lybateuser, Please don't be disappointed. Unfortunately you have gone a lot of medical procedures and you are still not in complete recovery, but you have to have patience & courage for yourself. Regarding your query: 1) Yes, you can & will be cured soon in near future. 2) & 3) Surely. Sir, if your Spine TB treatment has been declared completed by treating doctors, then you can concentrate fully on your Rehablitation. I would suggest a Spinal-neuro center which offers rehablitation & any further treatment which may be needed. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
