Dengue precaution

WHAT IS MONKEYPOX?

Monkeypox or Mpox is caused by the Monkeypox virus from the Poxvirus family where the virus that causes smallpox belong.

The virus spreads from close contact with infected persons, through touch, kissing or s*x. From contact with infected materials such as contaminated sheets or clothes.

It can also be acquired from direct contact with infected wild animals, when hunting, skinning or cooking them.

Mpox causes signs & symptoms which usually begins within a week, but can start 1-21 days after exposure to the virus. Symptoms typically lasts 2-4 weeks, but may last longer in someone with a weakened immune system.

Most common symptoms are: rash, fever, sorethroat, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, swollen lymph nodes. Mpox rash begins as a flat sore which develops into a blister filled with fluid and maybe itchy or painful. As the rash heals, the lesions dry up, crust over & fall off. Lesions can be anywhere in the body: palms of the hands, soles of the feet, face, scalp, mouth, throat, groin, ge***al areas, a**s.

People with Mpox are highly contagious & can pass the disease to others until all sores are healed & a new layer of skin has formed.

Monkeypox is checked through antibody (PCR) test of the skin lesion.

What to do when infected with Mpox:
- stay at home & isolate
- wash hand often & sanitize especially after touching a sore
- wear a mask & cover lesions especially when around other people
- avoid touching items in shared spaces
- use salt water gargle for sores in the mouth
- do NOT pop blisters
- do shave areas with sores until scabs have healed

Currently there is no treatment approved specifically for Monkeypox. Supportive care & pain control is sufficient if you have an intact immune system & don’t have skin disease (eczema can cause uncontrolled viral spread). If you’re very sick or with severe complications from the Mpox, your Doctor will prescribe an anti-viral drug.

Imagine your medicine stops working? 💊
Stressful, isn’t it?

This can happen when we misuse antimicrobial medicines. Disease-causing bacteria then become resistant to drugs and the drugs stop working.

Mao kini ang pamaagi para maghimo ug HOMEMADE ORESOL, .. Para dili na magpalit sa mga pharmacy..

- or TB - is caused by bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that mainly affects the lungs.

Common symptoms include
❗️ Cough
❗️ Chest pains
❗️ Weight loss
❗️ Fever
❗️ Night sweats

The longer you stay away from to***co, the healthier you get.

To my DOCTOR Friends:

1) Please get adequate rest. Work for 8 hours a day. Get out of the myth that a doctor should be available 24*7

2) Attend only dire emergency in odd hours. Your sleep is more important. You are human too.

3) The day you retire or die people have a lot of options other than you. They forget what you have done, the very next month. BUT, your mom, dad, wife and kids have only you. YOU are irreplaceable! YOU are their asset and lifetime love!

4) Spend quality time with family. People come to OPD till 12 midnight if you r available. They come late after finishing all his job, just for a cold or fever which has been running for 1 week. BUT, your kid may be still waiting for a dinner with you!

5) We are fooled in the name of service and noble profession. Government considers hospital as a commercial establishment. We pay tax. Patients are consumers and we are service providers. When they can sue us, we deserve all right to get our nominal fee. Never give concession or do it for free.

To PATIENTS:

1) When it’s your turn, you have to go. Doctors are not God( for those who believe) or magicians. We have our limitations. Even in a well equipped ICU, you may die of cardiac arrest within seconds, even before the defibrillator is ready to save u!

2) Come as Patients and say your concern and problems, not as an IDIOT( Internet Derived Information Obstructing Treatment). We have more knowledge about the disease which u have referred before coming into my OPD.

3) Don’t ask for discount in a hospital, when u don’t ask in a petrol bunk, hotel/ resort or Malls! Pay your bills, don’t make the doc run behind you, after sleepless nights, monitoring you!

4) If you don’t like the treatment, switch doctor or hospital. Don’t attack the hospital. You don’t attack a movie theatre after a bad movie experience right! If something untoward happened to your dear ones, sit and discuss with your doctor. Don’t assume he is the culprit. Don’t gather mob or threaten hospital.💗
