How can one identify a virus? (plz read description carefully)?
Question:
ENT and Internal Medicine both are NOT able to provide referrals based on symptoms. Both parties don't know what is wrong and cannot recommend anything for the problem. They know there is something wrong, but are not able to write up any tests or vaccines.
HSV-1 came back equivocal twice in a gap of one month. But doctors and ENT do not think that HSV-1 is causing sinus inflammation and neck stiffness and eye redness, ear popping and general dizziness and change in mental focus.
WHAT IS A SUITABLE TEST TO IDENTIFY A VIRUS? WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS NOT TO GET TESTED FOR A PARTICULAR VIRUS. RATHER -
HOW CAN THE CULPRIT VIRUS BE IDENTIFIED? AND APART FROM ENT AND INTERNAL MEDICINE, WHO CAN DO THIS KIND OF DIAGNOSIS AND PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR THIS?
Answers:
Umm, running some test can help identify it. Blood test and an ecograph of internal organs are my first two reccomendations. Symptoms make me think of mumps or mononucleosis right now, though they are a bit broad. As i said, do the blood test and the ecograph, that should really help determine it.
A good Blood workup with liver function tests and a complete physical by a competent Dr is what I would do. Go for a 2nd opinion.
I answered your other question the same way. I feel sure if you go to an E.N.T. he'll send you to an infectious disease Dr..You could go to your family Doctor and have him send you where he thinks you need to go.
My suggestion is to find a Holistic Dr. or homeopathic Dr. I believe they can help you. I would go to one of them before I go to the Dr. They care a lot more, and can get to the bottom of things naturally.
