I need to see a doctor for the five major foot problems

On January 13th, the "Health Day" website in the United States published an article by experts from the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery, reminding everyone that many people do not want to see a doctor for foot problems, but the following five situations cannot be ignored: heel pain. Heel pain is often caused by soft tissue inflammation, and may also be caused by factors such as fractures, Achilles tendon shortening, or nerve compression. Ankle joint sprain. Ankle sprains usually require treatment, and if not treated in a timely manner, it can increase the risk of recurrent ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability. Stiffness and pain in the big toe. Usually, as the cartilage on the toes wears away, the condition gradually progresses and there is a possibility of developing into arthritis. So once diagnosed, treatment should be given as soon as possible. Heel tendinitis. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon can cause pain in the ankle and heel, and there is a tenderness when touching the Achilles tendon with your hand. Achilles tendinitis is usually caused by a sudden increase in activity, and if not treated in a timely manner, there may be a risk of Achilles tendon rupture. Ingrown armor. Embedded nails may penetrate the skin beneath the nail bed, allowing bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. People with ingrown nails should avoid handling them at home, as incomplete disinfection can lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream, and in severe cases, there is a risk of amputation, even endangering life. Nail ingrowth should be treated promptly at the hospital, and can be cured with just a simple surgery.

Emergency treatment for fish bile poisoning

Fish bile poisoning patients may experience gastrointestinal symptoms within half an hour to 14 hours after taking fish bile, including pain in the upper abdomen, navel circumference, lower abdomen, frequent vomiting, repeated yellow watery stools or sparse feces without pus and blood, which are easily confused with general gastroenteritis. Therefore, having a "history of taking fish bile" has become an important basis for early diagnosis of fish bile poisoning. In addition to the above gastrointestinal symptoms, patients with severe fish bile poisoning also have manifestations of liver damage, such as Hepatomegaly, tenderness and tenderness in the liver area, yellowing of skin and eye sclera, and elevation of serum Transaminase; Renal manifestations such as low back pain, kidney area pinch pain, oliguria, anuria, Proteinuria, and microscopic observation of red blood cells and casts in urine; Damage to the cardiovascular system, such as increased or decreased blood pressure, facial, lower limb, or systemic edema; Damage to the nervous system, such as headaches, drowsiness, confusion, delirium, convulsions, and coma. Some individuals with fish bile poisoning may also experience pathological processes such as fever, shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Emergency measures: Due to the lack of special detoxification therapy for fish bile poisoning, the development of the condition may lead to multiple organ failure, leading to patient death. Therefore, when fish bile poisoning occurs, it is advisable to promptly seek medical attention from the unit. If it is far away from the medical unit, you can prepare transportation or contact an ambulance, and at the same time, seek medical attention from a nearby health worker or neighbor with medication for symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and give oral gastrointestinal spasms and pain relievers such as belladonna; Due to frequent vomiting and diarrhea, patients may experience dehydration in the body. If infusion conditions are available, intravenous fluid replacement can be given. If infusion conditions are not available, oral light sugar water, honeysuckle water, raw licorice water, ginger water, etc. can also be given. If close, seek medical attention immediately.
