When is the right time to remove TransPlatal Arch (TPA) & Lingual Arch?

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi Surfy – I’m very sorry for the late reply as we are getting proper orthodontists on board to address your question!

Your question is a bit “cheem” to be honest, and friends I have discussed this with so far all agree that you should probably discuss your above issues with the orthodontist who is already seeing you.

Just dropping you a quick response to let you know that we have picked up your question, pending a proper orthodontist’s reply 🙂

What should I do for extremely dry skin not responding to moisturisers?

It appears that you are experiencing eczema that is not responding to your moisturiser regime. These are a couple of steps you can try to improve your condition: 1. Emollients You can consider using a water-based one like Cetaphil as the base moisturiser, and then add on a protective oil-based moisturizer like paraffin. This is particularly important for cold, dry climates. 2. Exfoliation A very gently done exfoliation with a sponge can help remove the keratinised layer of skin, and improve the moisturising effect of the emollients. Don’t overdo it. Once a week is safe. 3.

Is it possible to prevent the onset of croup and barking cough in paediatric patients?

Croup is a viral infectious respiratory illness affecting mainly the voicebox, windpipe and sometimes the lungs. Many viruses can cause croup, including those responsible for the common cold and flu. Hence, the measure to prevent a croup are similar to that for a common cold. These include practising good hand hygiene (by washing your hands regularly), coughing and sneezing into a tissue or into the elbow, cleaning surfaces regularly, avoiding food/drink sharing and keeping your children's immunization up to date.
