Can urgent care treat allergic reactions?
Yes READ MORE
Can I go to the ER for a sinus infection?
It might be a better choice to call your primary care physician or go to urgent care. READ MORE
My daughter is sick, I don’t know what to do?
I am so sorry to hear that. It is true that you cannot force her to go, she needs to agree. Try to convince her to see primary care doctor. She might be more likely to agree to outpatient visit, then ER. Even though less ideal, but you could have her do virtual visit with PCP from home or at least psychologist or psychiatrist to talk to her to see why she does not want to receive medical care when needed. I am so sorry, but sounds like she needs medical evaluation. I hope this helps. Dr. Nikolic READ MORE
Should I go to the ER for a bleeding hemorrhoid?
Depends on how much you are bleeding. If becoming dizzy with low blood pressure then definitely go. READ MORE

What's the recovery like from a punctured lung?
Good evening! Pain will linger for a while, but make sure you take deep breaths so you do not catch pneumonia. Dr. Nikolic READ MORE
Can my boyfriend be present in my consultations at the ICU?
Good evening! I am sorry to hear that you are in the ICU. I am not sure why your boyfriend is not allowed to be present for you consultation. You can always ask the physician that is providing consultation if it is okay. They have special visitor policy now during COVID-19, so not sure if that is the reason. Hope this helps and that you get better quick. Kind Regards, Dr. Nikolic READ MORE
I think I have an infection after surgery. What should I do?
Good evening! You should call your surgeon and your PCP and have it checked as soon as possible. READ MORE
Can anesthesia badly affect my grandfather, who has COPD?
Good afternoon! You are correct! Administering general anesthesia to someone with severe COPD caries increased risk of respiratory failure. Moderate sedation is usually used when bronchoscopy is performed, which is less risky. We usually weigh risk vs. benefits of doing the procedure and it is up to the patient to decide. I would discuss risks and benefits with the physician who is performing the procedure. Hopefully, this answers your questions. READ MORE
Will my daughter have to wait for her transplant?
Yes. Infection needs to clear prior to transplant since post transplant patients are started on immune suppressive medications. Hope she recovers quickly. Regards READ MORE
Should I take my child to the ER?
Good afternoon! It is usually better to see his pediatrician or pulmonologist if you can get an appointment soon enough depending on severity of symptoms. If you are worried and wheezing and shortness of breath is worsening it is always reasonable to take your child to ER or urgent care for evaluation. Hope this helps. Dr.Nikolic READ MORE
