Hello Mr Kartik,

Knock knees, medically known as genu valgum, is a condition where the knees angle inward and touch each other when standing straight. It is essential to consult with an orthopaedic specialist who will recommend the best treatment plan.

Here are a few tips and precautions:

  1. Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the knees.
  2. Perform exercises to strengthen muscles around the knees.
  3. Use orthotic devices or shoe inserts if recommended by a doctor.
  4. Physical therapy can help improve knee alignment.
  5. In severe cases, surgery may be considered.
  • Surgery for knock knees is called osteotomy, where the bone is cut and realigned to correct knee alignment. It's typically considered when other treatments have not been effective or, in severe cases, impacting mobility and quality of life. Consulting with an orthopaedic specialist is recommended to discuss the suitability and details of the surgery.

Snake bite upchar

D
Dr. Bhavya GuptaExpert

Namaste Tukaram Ji,

Snake bite ek medical emergency hai. Jaldi aur sahi upchar se jaan bachai ja sakti hai. Yahan kuch important steps hain:

🔹 Snake Bite ke Turant Baad Kya Karna Chahiye:

  • Victim ko shaant rakhna — ghabrahat se zehar tezi se fail sakta hai.

  • Kaatne wale hisse ko kam se kam hilana — movement se zehar zyada phail sakta hai.

  • Kaatne wale hisse ko dil ke level se neeche rakhna.

  • Turant hospital le jaana — antivenom (zeher ke viruddh injection) sirf hospital mein milta hai.

  • Tight bandage ya tourniquet mat lagaiye bina doctor ke salah ke.

  • Kaatne wale area ko kaatna, choosna ya jalana nahi chahiye.

🔹 Hospital mein Upchar:

  • Antivenom Injection: Yeh zehar ko neutralize karta hai. Doctor ka assessment zaroori hai ki kitna antivenom chahiye.

  • Supportive Care: Agar patient ko saans lene mein dikkat ho, to oxygen support diya ja sakta hai.

  • Blood tests aur monitoring ki jaati hai zeher ke effects jaane ke liye.

🔹 Important Precautions:

  • Delay na karein — snake bite ke turant baad treatment lena zaroori hai.

  • Local jhaad-phoonk ya gharelu nuskhe par bharosa na karein.
