Please help me doctor, I really would like my mother to get well as soon as possoble. Thanks. From: Mpho. Doctor: Hi,   I understand your concern.   General weakness, lac of resistance & probably uncontrolled diabetes is basic cause of getting repeated infections through out body . You need to get your mother investigated to find basic status of her health.     Get her through physical examination  done by a physician to find probable diagnosis & get it investigated along with-   -  Complete blood count, Mx. test,   - Urine -microscopic & routine ,   _ fasting & post meal blood sugar test/ glucose tolerance test,  - culture & sensitivity teat ( from the exudate/ tissue currently infected) to find the bacteria & the effective drug,    Consult an expert physician who will advise her specific treatment according to the reports. These need to be accompanied by general majors like    - good hygiene/ cleanliness  - light nourishing diet with high proteins, vityamins, minerals, iron- as per doctor's advise.   - Rest, mild exercises once she is settled,  - POsitive thinking of the patient induced by love, assurance, nursing .  I am sure you mother will recover with methodical management as described above.   Thanks.
