What causes a constant stuffy nose?
Usually allergies. It may be wise for him to have an allergen test to see what is he allergic to? If they can't find the source, you may want to insist on looking for anatomical reasons such as nasal polyps or an infection way up the nasal canal. Good luck. RB Thomas,MD READ MORE

How do you know if you have an infection after oral surgery?
1) Do you still have pain? 2) Do you have fever? 3) Is there pus in the area of surgery? If you have all 3 of these within a few days after surgery, make an appointment with the surgeon, so the area can be re-examined. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
What happens when your nail is removed?
It should grow back; hopefully in the correct matter. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
Who performs autopsies?
Any pathologist can perform an autopsy. However, for suspicious deaths, it is best that a pathologist with forensic subspecialty boards perform them. These are known as the medical examiners. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
Can blood be returned to the blood bank?
It depends on how long it has been released. If it passes that certain time frame and is not used, it will have to be destroyed since it is no longer good to give patients. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
When do you usually find out your child has leukemia?
It can vary. I've seen it from elementary kids to young adults. Parent may bring in the child for non-specific symptoms such as tiredness. Doctor runs bloodwork and will note a significant abnormality. Then, the child is referred to a hematologist for a bone marrow exam. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
Does abdominal pain indicate an intestinal issue?
Not necessarily. You would need to be examined and probably have blood work and X-rays done to determine the cause. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
What causes blood cancers to develop in children?
In children, there are more cells that have not developed yet. In the developing process, a cell trying to mature properly does not; these cells produce more bad cells, and a cancer develops. Strictly my opinion. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
How does smoking affect your lungs?
When you inhale, all of the cigarette byproducts are sucked into the lungs. The byproducts can harm the lungs and may result in cancer. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
How long can blood samples remain on crime sites?
I think it depends on the type of surface, weather exposure, etc. You should refer your question to someone who works in forensic science. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

There seems to never be enough blood. Please give if able. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
Protein in urine?
You may want to see if you are receiving too much medicine for your ulcer. The urine needs to be completely examined. A cystoscopy may be in order. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
Is gallbladder pain an emergency?
It can be, but that is an unusual occurrence. Usually, gallbladder pain is of a chronic nature. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
How is blood checked for diseases?
The doctor will request that the blood be tested for a specific disease or component(s) of a disease. It will be drawn and depending on the test will be placed in a certain colored tube. Then it will be sent to a lab with a request for the specific test and be tested by instruments. Then the lab will send the doctor the report. There is no set test for all diseases. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE

Usually around 11-14 for someone your age. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
