Terbinafine is available only in topical form. Oral itraconaxole is available but better taken under medical supervision. Liver function needs to be monitored. Before resorting to oral antifungals for nail fungus it is better to try topical prolonged treatment which to be effective is best done after mechanical filing down of the nail bed (podiatrist can do this). Important also to avoid closed toe shoes and socks ...let the toes breathe. Daily vinegar soaks also helpful.

Having already waited 3 years I suggest you wait the extra month. While Dr. Tanyathorn is qualified, Dr. Supranee has far more exprrience. On whst basis have you now concluded septaplasty will solve your problem?

While much better than nothing, this is by no means as reliable as a colonoscopy See https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/colon-cancer/in-depth/colon-cancer-screening/art-20046825

Yes that is what I do. And believe me that is fun compared to the family headaches that occupy most of my annual trips back....!

I am not aware of any rule change on import of pharmaceuticals. It was, and is, illegal without an FDA permit. Nothwithstanding that, small quantities sent by regular mail are usually allowed through. There has been a recent change regarding customs duties on low value parcels of all types. I haven't heard how thst is eorking in practice. There was a board member some time back who actually managed to get FDA permission to import a nedication not available im Thsilznd. You can read sbout the process here https://aseannow.com/topic/1178361-importing-personal-meds-via-dhl/

Technically tequires an FDA permit. iHerb seems able to get around this.

Out of some 10 odd claims, needed their help on just one. They were able to resolve the problem in a day.

They can be used for this, yes. Have you been diagnosed with a uretal stone?

"There are no known serious side effects with Paxlovid." https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/paxlovid/side-effects-of-paxlovid/ About 10% of people get GI upset or altered sense of taste. Hardly reason not to take it. The more limiting factor is that it has interactions with many other medications, which may necessitate discontinuing them temporarily.

Probably because he is in a high risk group. COVID remains potentially dangerous in high risk groups. Paxlovid eliminates risk of severe COVID by about 90%. It also reduces the risk of long COVID. Certainly no reason for a younger, healthy person to take it. But for the elderly and those with other high risk factors, makes good sense. It is recommended for those groups by UK NHS and other public health authorities.

Costs are as per Lorry. There are some excellent ortho surgeons specializing in Bangkok, but as per Lorry, aftercare/rehab is scanty to none. Notwithstanding this, many AN members have had hip replacements here and most have been satisfied with results. See: https://aseannow.com/topic/1255886-anyone-had-a-hip-replacement-in-thailand-or-india/ https://aseannow.com/topic/663501-hip-replacement/

If going to Bangkok then go to either https://www.medconsultasia.com/vaccinations/ or https://www.thaitravelclinic.com/cost.html Both of which definitely have it (and provide appropriate certificate) and at lower cost than a hospital. Note that the MedConsult price is all inclusive whereas the Thai Travel Clinic adds on a doctors d=fee etc. With the result that the 2 places cost about the same so I would choose based on convenience. Thai Travel Clinic will take longer (waits, doctor consultation first) whereas MedConsult is in & out quickly. But Thai Travel Clinic is much more convenient to public transport, right at Vistoryt Monument. But certainly, try the private hospitals in Hua Hin first to see if you can avoid the trip to Bangkok.

Then they are using these terms in a different way than commonly understood, or just an error in the price list terminology. Your second procedure was an echocardiogram. I have no idea why they would abbreviate that as EKG.

Wishing you (and her) all the best.

ECG and EKG are same thing. I think what you are describing was an echocardiogram which can certainly detect an enlarged aortic arch. Additionally, abdominal ultrasounds can detect abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Very good feedback on Dr. Chanakarn Phornputkul at Rajavej Hospital. He also has his own clinic across the river from the hospital. In Google msps as Chanakarn Orthopedic Clinic.

He seems welll qualified. Since your wife is comfortable with him (and presumably costs are affordable for you) I think you are right to proceed.

Normally this is not something people check. Do you have known risk factors/underlying disease?

Who is the surgeon at Vibharam?

Assuming you are now in Thailand, your local hospital will not have it. Since there is no yellow fever in Thailand, the vaccine is not widely available here. Where in Thailand do you live? The Mahidol Thai travel clinic or MedConsult Clinic, both in Bangkok, are best options.

No flouting of the rules involved: Tramadol and Pregbalin are both, by law, available without prescription in Thailand. Codeine, on the other hand is strictly controlled and not only needs a prescription but can only be gotten at a hospital or clinic. (In addition, there is no Nurofen Plus or equivalent registered for use in Thailand.)

10 day course is normal duration for antibiotic treatment. As to the need for it at all, see my prior reply. If in Thailand now, or if in Thailand in future and problome has nto resolved, this is the best doctor to see https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/doctors/mason-porramatikul
