    There are several types of pneumonia and they are all treated with medication. Depending on the form, some are treated as an outpatient while other types of pneumonia require hospitalization.

  • Is there any surgery for migraines?

    Migraine headaches are thought to be associated with vascular constriction and dilation and also from nerve impingement from tight muscles. Sinusitis can also trigger a migraine headache. If the migraines are triggered from chronic sinusitis, contact an ENT and request a consultation to see if you are a candidate for sinus surgery. Otherwise, there is no known migraine surgery that I am aware of. READ MORE

  • What might be causing gas and chest pain?

  • Can gallstones be fixed without surgery?

    There are nutritional supplements that might help prevent gallstones include vitamin C, soy lecithin, and iron. In addition, a mixture of plant terpenes (Rowachol) has been used with some success to dissolve radiolucent gallstones. The gallbladder flush is a folk remedy said to promote the passage of gallstones. While minimal scientific evidence supports the efficacy of this treatment, anecdotal reports suggest the gallbladder flush may be beneficial for some people. However, changing your diet to decrease the amount of animal fat is the first thing to start. High fat diets are the common cause of gallstones. There are few instances where someone with a vegetarian diet has sludge or stones, but this is few and far between. READ MORE

  • Why does my jaw hurt by my ear?

    Hello, Thank you for your question. There are a few reasons why your jaw would hurt by your ear. The most common reason is clenching your jaw or grinding your teeth. This puts a lot of pressure on the jaw and the cartilage in the jaw joint. The second reason may be due to allergies. If you have a history of seasonal allergies, the eustachian tube (tube that connects the inner ear to the throat) is inflamed. Taking a decongestant can easily solve this problem. As far as the jaw pain, I recommend you make an appointment with your dentist for an evaluation. Yours in health, Dr. Cipriano READ MORE
