Skin Infection FAQ's

A board-certified Dermatologist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) that has completed 4 years of medical school as well as 1 year of internship and a minimum of 3 years of dermatology residency. They are the experts in over 3,000 conditions affecting hair, skin, and nails. They can see patients of all ages and are able to address medical, surgical, and cosmetic concerns.
Most people see a Dermatologist once yearly for an overall skin check. If there is a personal or family history of skin cancers, abnormal moles, or other conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis, the frequency of visits can be increased.
Dermatologists recommend performing a once-monthly self-skin examination to check for new or changing spots. You should examine all aspects of your skin, using mirrors or a partner as needed. Do not forget to try to examine your scalp, look between fingers and toes, check the bottoms of your feet, and examine the groin area. Please have any new or changing lesions examined by a Dermatologist to determine if any treatments are needed.
UV damage is the biggest skin aging culprit. Daily sun protection measures (even in the winter) is the best preventative step. Avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, other drugs, staying hydrated, and eating a well-balanced diet can all have positive anti-aging effects as well.
Topical vitamin A products (retinols, retinoids) are the overall most effective topicals for addressing skin aging concerns such as loss of elasticity, fine lines, skin texture changes, and dyspigmentation. There are various over-the-counter products and prescription products that contain these active ingredients. People with very sensitive skin can sometimes have a more difficult time tolerating these topicals as they can be irritating to the skin.

Dental Infection

Yes, a dental infection can potentially make you sick. If left untreated, dental infections can spread to other parts of the body, leading to systemic health issues. Bacteria from an oral infection can enter the bloodstream and contribute to conditions like endocarditis (infection of the heart lining), pneumonia, and sepsis (a severe whole-body infection). Timely treatment of dental infections is crucial to prevent such complications and maintain both oral and overall health.

Yes, a dental infection can potentially cause dizziness. In some cases, especially if the infection is severe or has spread, the body's response to the infection and inflammation can lead to a feeling of dizziness. Additionally, infections in the oral or facial area, including the teeth, can sometimes impact the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, which may contribute to sensations of dizziness. If you're experiencing dizziness along with other symptoms of a dental infection, it's important to seek medical and dental attention to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

While not the sole cause, a dental infection can contribute to high blood pressure, becoming worse when left untreated.

Yes, a dental infection can cause pain in the ear. Infections in the teeth, especially in the upper back teeth, can sometimes radiate pain to the ear due to the close proximity of nerves that serve both areas. The shared nerve pathways can result in sensations of pain that feel as though they're originating from the ear when the actual source is a dental infection.

Yes, a dental infection can lead to fever in some cases. When the body is fighting off an infection, including dental infections such as abscesses or gum infections, it can trigger an immune response that includes an elevated body temperature. If the infection is severe or has spread, the body might respond with fever as part of its defense mechanism.

UTI

Mild cases of UTI sometimes clear up without antibiotics. Some patients are able to clear a urinary tract infection within a week by increasing their intake of drinking water. However, it’s likely that your UTI will need to be medically treated. Online UTI treatment for women and men is generally the same. Keep in mind that untreated UTIs can lead to severe complications, including kidney damage or sepsis.

Most UTIs go away within 7-14 days. Depending on the type of UTI you have, it could take more or less time. If your doctor prescribes antibiotics and you don’t start to feel relief after 3-5 days of taking your medication as directed, contact us for a follow-up. 

No, you can get treated for your UTI without a urine sample. Your doctor may be able to prescribe antibiotics based on your symptoms alone.

It depends on the severity of your infection, as well as other factors. Antibiotics treatment generally takes 2 to 14 days, during which time your symptoms should gradually lessen. Be sure to follow your online doctor’s treatment plan in its entirety. Some patients quit their antibiotics regimen too early because they mistakenly believe they’ve fully recovered and, as a result, their infection returns.

Some patients experience rash, nausea, headaches, or diarrhea in connection with antibiotics use. Don’t hesitate to inform your doctor if you experience any side effects.

Bronchitis

Anyone can get acute bronchitis. However, it is more likely to occur in smokers, persons with chronic sinusitis, persons with enlarged tonsils, and persons who recently contracted the flu or the common cold. The very young and very old are at increased risk. Those who work with chemical products (e.g., cleaning agents) are also at increased risk for developing acute bronchitis.
Frequent hand washing can reduce your risk of developing acute bronchitis. You may also wish to wear a face mask if you believe you may be exposed to airborne pollutants or individuals who are ill.

Pneumonia, an infection of the air sacs in the lungs, is sometimes confused with bronchitis due to their similar symptoms. During diagnosis, it is important for the medical professional to pinpoint which condition is causing the patient's symptoms in order to determine the correct treatment options.

Pneumonia is the more serious of the two conditions. One way to distinguish between the two conditions is the relative severity of the patient’s fever. In bronchitis patients, fever is only mild, if it is present at all. In pneumonia patients, fever can be more serious, as high as 105°F. If you’re feeling ill and aren’t certain which condition you have, it’s best to seek out professional help from a licensed medical provider, like CallonDoc.

You may have a serious medical condition. Seek in-person medical help immediately.
Chronic bronchitis is defined as a sputum-producing cough that lasts at least three months of the year for two years. It is less common than acute bronchitis, and when it occurs it is often in conjunction with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

URI (Urgent Care)

On average, an adult will get two to four colds per year, while children average six to eight colds.
If you find that you're generating a high-pitched wheezing or whistling sound while exhaling, you should seek immediate treatment. This could be a symptom of a serious medical condition, such as viral pneumonia.
Acute bronchitis is a non-contagious inflammation of the bronchial tubes in the lungs. It is classified as a lower respiratory infection. Its symptoms are similar to a URI but usually last longer, up to three weeks.
Frequent hand washing will reduce your exposure to viruses that cause URIs. Getting proper rest, staying hydrated, and maintaining a good diet will strengthen your immune system and help your body fight off infections.
Influenza typically has more severe symptoms, such as a high fever and uncomfortable aches and pains. Persons with influenza also tend to be extremely fatigued, while the common cold usually produces only mild tiredness.

Strep Throat

Yes. Some people get strep throat repeatedly. You do not become immune to strep throat after recovering from an infection.
Yes, although people who are displaying symptoms of infection are more likely to spread the bacteria. Infected people can be contagious 48 hours before symptoms present.
Strep throat patients generally need to take prescribed antibiotics for at least 24 hours before ceasing to be contagious to others. You may need to take antibiotics for up to ten days to ensure complete recovery. Be sure to follow the full treatment plan given to you by your strep throat online doctor.
Yes. However, a tonsillectomy (removal of the tonsils) can reduce the incidence of strep throat, and this procedure is sometimes recommended for children who get repeated infections.
No.
